1992  Signed Tracy Moore to a 1 year contract.

2001  The 8/10/01 Houston-New York-Dallas (Howard Eisley) trade finally
      became official after Houston extorted $1 million each from New 
      York and Dallas.  Houston was threatening to cancel the deal over 
      concerns about Glen Rice's health.  Once a trade takes place, the 
      players must pass a physical by their new team within a week or 
      the trade can be voided over medical concerns.

2006  Signed Juan Jose Barea, Pat Carroll, Ndudi Ebi, and Darius
      Washington to non-guaranteed contracts.  All 4 would be a part of
      the preseason rosters, but only Barea made the regular season team.

2014  Cleveland signed Dallas free agent Shawn Marion to a 1 year,
      minimum contract.
