The Heat received compensation from the Orlando Magic in the form of a 2nd round pick when the Magic signed Stan Van Gundy, who was still under contract with the Heat. Don't remember a similar incident at the moment...
Like in the NFL when Oakland traded Jon Gruden to Tampa Bay for draft picks and cash?
Even if it's not technically a "trade", can Team A ask Team B for compensation in the form of players, draft pics and/or cash. (Oakland got 8 million cash in addition to the draft picks.)

39th pick of 2007 and option of swapping spots in R1 this year is what Orlando gave the Miami Heat for Stan Van.
If accurate, from USA today article:
But when the Magic and Heat reached a deal — Orlando will send the 39th pick of the NBA draft to the Heat and give Miami the option of swapping first-round selections in 2008 — it allowed Orlando to hire the only other coach it interviewed.
Wonder what the Spurs could get for Popavich?
Maybe we could get something for all these assistant coaches everyone keeps trying to take.
