    I assume that Harris has been waived? If not, that's 16 players under contract right now.

    I thought the 15-man restriction didn't start until October... or does it not lift (allowing 21 or however many players) until just before training camp?

    I don't know the legal side, but I would wager you can wait until much later to solidify whom you waive.

    e: Speaking of which, That guy just got more than a 5 game suspension! :lol:

    Harris' contract becomes guaranteed on 10/31. I'm not sure how it works until then, but he clearly isn't going to be on the roster at the end of camp.

    I don't see CJ here long term if thats the case. His team-value will be rather easily replaced. For a 6"3 SG you have got to be something really special in the NBA if you don't want to be moved around a lot.

    Thought:
    Love that each FA that has come in has had a well defined role.

    Question:
    Did we use our Room Exception for this?

    Totally. He's obviously the one... but man... turning Harris into Mo Williams because you're Neil Fucking Olshey is pretty slick.

    I wonder if CJ's awful performance at PG in summer league pushed Olshey to pursue this.

    I wouldn't doubt it; CJ needs time to bake, and Paul wants to win more now. Neil took that input, and turned it into Mo Williams because Neil is a goddamned wizard.

    On a side note: Don't get to attached to CJ.

    Mo Williams has been one of my guys for a few years now. He'll be a good 6th man.

    McCollum isn't ready for those minutes. He's no Lillard. Guy shot 37% in SL.

    Mo/Lillard should be awesome
