[SenorSpur]

In case anyone was wondering about Tolliver's status with the Hornets, here it is:

The New Orleans Hornets did not extend a second, 10-day contract to forward/center Anthony Tolliver.

Tolliver's contract came to an end after Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors and he did not travel with the team to San Antonio for Saturday's game.

AToll needs to work on his game. maybe go overseas for a season or two.

sons why would we need him whenever we have a STUD like Melvin Ely riding the pine ...

[timvp]

Wouldn't be the worst way to use the 15th roster spot.

Wouldn't be the worst way to use the 15th roster spot.

Byron Scott is saving that spot for Paul whenever we are in another close game. he will need somewhere to sit Paul during the final minutes.

let's sing him again.

just because i feel sorry for him

[BRHornet45]

sons just curious, but about how much do they pay a player for a 10 day contract? I never see them mention the value of it. can't be much (in professional sports terms) ... although im sure its more than many every day working people make in a year lol

FYI: How much does a NBA 10 day contract pay?
January 16th, 2009 by Dr Hoopz

The signing of F/C Darius Miles to the Memphis Grizzles for a 10 day contract has caused quite the stir. Not only for the NBA, Portland but for the writers at LA Hoopz. The Hoopz Staff wants to know how much will D-Miles earn over his contract? Money is money to all ballers, so we want to explain how much dough he will be earning over the 10 days. Below is a compiled answer:

The minimum salary a 10-day contract can offer is the # of days in the contract divided by the # of days in the regular season multiplied by the minimum annual salary. Note that 10-day does not mean 10 games.

Example:
Minimum salary is $300,000
# of days in NBA regular season is 170

Salary = 10/170 x $300,000 = $17,700

Guess this is not what the Portland Trailblazers had hoped, despite Kevin Pritchard effort to send out emails that would help them save approximately $18 million for this season and next. Good luck Portland and D-Miles, it’s a long season. GO BLAZERS!

Byron Scott just needed the Spurs play book...

Byron Scott just needed the Spurs play book...

son he needs more than that. a good bitch slap is a start ...

[Pauleta14]

son he needs more than that. a good bitch slap is a start ...

:lol

Your are too "excessive",on both ways...
Maybe the vodka ...;)

[DANILO DRASKOVIC]

The minimum this year for rookies is $442,114
so I guess the hornets paid Tolliver $26,006.71 =(10/170)*442,114
not bad...especially considering he didnt even get into a game

Byron Scott is saving that spot for Paul whenever we are in another close game. he will need somewhere to sit Paul during the final minutes.
son do you think he can put 15 rosters wholy on the active list, or just let paul rest the whole game and give the game up?

Hornets can hardly win a game without Paul, even less possible to win a game than the cavs without james.

[Joe Schmoogins]

I wouldn't mind picking up Tolliver again.
