Interesting. I did a search for that guy but it didn't pull up anything. Who does he play for?All the FO would need is that ONE ELITE frontcourt player - someone along the lines of a DeMarcus Aldridge.

Hawks waive Sy, Rolle, Wanamaker. Sy was having a good camp but became expendable when ATL signed Jannero Pargo earlier in the week.

Source says Bobcats declined to match Grizzlies' 3 yr/$6.3M offer sheet for Dante Cunningham. MEM needs depth after losing D Arthur for year

#TwitNewsNow Denver Nuggets waive Cory Higgins and Michael Ruffin dlvr.it/11vVtR #NBA
I'd keep an eye on this guy. He's at least the type of player the Spurs need.
Leonard's college teammate Malcom Thomas also got waived by the Lakers.

The Nets waive forward Ime Udoka
Wasn't this guy drafted just last year? IIRC, there were some scouts questioning this kids desire.
I guess we settle with the best defensive rebounding big waived from the rest of the NBA, to play spot minutes (10- 15min) as our 5th big for the compact regular season. then maybe get a veteran like Kmart for the playoffs.
Yup when all said and done were headed for a 3rd to 5th playoff seed. for a match-up with the likes of Lakers, Clips , Memphis. Yup we can realistically win that 1st round match-up. But anything beyond that , beating OKC or Dallas in the semis is wishful thinking. That my friends is the bottom line
I actually think Memphis and OKC have passed Dallas. The Mavs failed to sign Chandler, Barea, and Stevenson, wimo, were vital pieces to that team, who provided defense and scoring off the bench for them.
He went like 48th in 2011.
There's nobody in the West that it would be "wishful thinking" for the Spurs to beat. If anything, the Spurs would probably have an easier time with the Thunder or Mavs than the Lakers or Grizzlies. See, the question isn't "can they beat (insert team in the West)", it's "can they beat three of them to reach the Finals?".
1st round talent, but slipped in the draft IIRC. Definitely worth a look, but it says something that the Hawks, who are lacking bigs, are already giving up in him.
I wouldn't say they are exactly lacking, but it is noteworthy.
Ivan Johnson must really have impressed them. He's certainly paid his dues. Maybe Benson needs to do the same.
Your living in the past. This team would be hard-pressed to make it out of the 1st round. They got worst while the surrounding teams got better. Unless they face the Kings, warriors and Jazz in the postseason, you can forget about the finals.

The Suns waived Marcus Landry, putting the roster at the 13-man minimum.
No, I'm not. There is no team in the West so good that the Spurs couldn't beat in a series. Losing Odom, Arthur and to a lesser extent, Chandler (not that he's not better than Arthur, I just saw the Mavs as more beatable to begin with), is what led me to that conclusion. But that's more a commentary on the state of the West than it is the Spurs. I wouldn't be shocked if any of the eight projected playoff teams beat any of the others.
The problem with the Spurs, particularly in this compressed schedule and with their lack of quality and quan y in terms of bigs, is they're almost certain to, if not have nagging injuries to key players, run out of gas fast in the playoffs.
The Spurs peaked at the wrong time last year, and it sucks, but that was just as big a factor as the matchup with the Grizzlies. If they peak at the wrong time, they won't beat anyone, and if they peak at the right time, anything can happen.

The Charlotte Bobcats have waived Melvin Ely, Taylor Griffin and Durrell Summers.
Hopefully the Spurs are just waiting till all teams make their roster waivers (to reach league max # of players) before making a trade, etc...
My bad: LaMarcus Aldridge (Portland)
The Wolves cut guard Bonzi Wells today, so their opening-day roster should be set, barring a last-minute trade. Wells, 35, hasn't played in the NBA since 2008. Minneapolis Star-Tribune
The Bobcats waived forwards Melvin Ely and Taylor Griffin, and guard Durrell Summers. Oklahoman
One of two NBA veteran small forwards -- Bostjan Nachbar or Jamario Moon -- could fill out the Charlotte Bobcats' regular-season roster. Bobcats player-personnel chief Rod Higgins plans to bring in Nachbar and Moon for workouts Saturday. Charlotte Observer
