The "Andrew Bogut Rule" is an NBA exception allowing a traded player who is immediately rerouted to a second team and waived to re-sign with their original team. It creates a loophole in the one-year restriction on re-acquiring traded players, as seen with Mike Conley (2026) and Andrew Bogut (2017).
