Both were bought out.

Tomorrow will be Brown's last game with the Spurs.

A day too late to get that TE.

Apparently we're interested in the services of glen Davis according to Marc spears...long shot considering his ties to doc rivers

They can't claim Clark.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

If Clark has a choice to play for SA, LA or MIA I doubt he would pick us. San Antonio isnt "black enough" for him.

[palangi]

Also if the Spurs get Clark, they could easily waive Daye if another buyout player wants to join.

I'd rather see bonner cut or amnestied over daye going.

Not going to happen. Shouldn't, either. And only Parker can be amnestied now.

I need one of the cap guru's to clarify something for me. It's pretty common for teams to trade, then quickly turn around and waive the player they got (like Clark). why don't they just waive the guy they were about to trade away instead? cut out the middle man. like rather than sending hawes to cleveland and then waiving clark, why didn't they just waive hawes

Cleveland sent 2 2nd rounders along with Clark.

What? They got something for Hawes. Why would they waive him and let him go for free?

EDIT: Damn it, Mel.

[spurraider21]

ah. forgot about the picks. carry on.

on a side note, what are they going to do with all those 2nd rounders? progressively trade 2 of them to move up little by little?

[ElNono]

They can't claim Clark.

why not?

[spurraider21]

why not?

he has to be claimed at his current salary during the waiver period. i dont think its the bidding system like we see in amnesty cases. clips dont have the cap room to claim his salary

[Chinook]

why not?

Don't have cap space or a big enough exception.

[Mugen]

can't teams over the cap not be able to make waiver claims or am I just making that up tbh

[ElNono]

They can't get everybody.

they cleared two bigs moving Jamison and Mullens... unless they go for Granger, it would make sense to try to replace them

[Mel_13]

why not?

They don't have cap space or a large enough cap exception.

[spurraider21]

yeah, unless the waived player is on the vets minimum, in which case why the is he being waived

[ElNono]

They don't have cap space or a large enough cap exception.

the Clippers?

[Chinook]

can't teams over the cap not be able to make waiver claims or am I just making that up tbh

They can if they have a big enough TE or injury exception to absorb the waived player's whole cap number.

[Mel_13]

the Clippers?

Yes

[Mel_13]

Yep, they're down to 12 players and they desperately need a big.

[ElNono]

Yes

thanks

[Chinook]

the Clippers?

Yeah. These are the teams who can claim Clark.

OKC can. GS might. Brooklyn? Toronto and Boston as well. And the Hawks.
