well, actually basically every player on August 1st is placed on waivers
Two things happen
Either another team claims him, or they don't.
If a team doesn't claim him, then the original team is free to trade him to whoever.
If a team does claim him, the original team can either pull him back, let the claim go through and the player goes to that team, or the two teams work out a trade. However, the player can only be traded to the team that claimed him. So, for instance, if there's a player with think Philly would be interested, we claim him on August 1 to cock block them. Well, we probably don't out of fear that the original team will send us that player and their money lol.
