Adams' salary ($687,500) would become guaranteed for the upcoming season if he's on the roster after Sunday."</div>

    No way...I rather they waive Wright instead.

    Edit: What about getting rid of Bernard Robinson? He is still on our books right?

    Same here. I liked Adams he was a great energy guy off the bench.

    That's what I don't understand. Clearly the management is in love with Wright's defense, but why are we keeping B.Robinson. Adams is the better player, and to me, has a better future. Why did we draft him, if planned on just waiving him off later on? I know the management wasn't expecting him to be a 20 point scorer his first year.

    Btw, I remember hearing Ratner say he would pay the luxury tax though.

    Wow, this is strange. First the Grizzlies waive a great prospect in Alexander Johnson, now the Nets waive Hassan Adams? Shocking

    It's official.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">In a bid to save money on the NBA luxury tax, the Nets waived Hassan Adams Saturday. As first reported by The Record, Adams' salary ($687,500) would have become guaranteed Sunday. A NetsDaily analysis of the team's payroll shows the Nets were $404,000 above the luxury tax threshold before losing Adams' salary. The Nets are still expected to sign a backup point guard. The move comes as a surprise. The popular Arizona product was featured on the team website this week.</div>
