Shabbos 142 – שבת קמב

The Gemara concludes that he rock was needed to plug an opening in the basket.  Generally, the allowance to move Muktza (indirectly) is only for the sake of a permissible object etc. but not for the sake of using the Muktza itself.  Why in this case may he move the rock for the sake of its own use?
