    If you're not making much money for the Raps, and you're not a key figure in the rotation, you might want to pack an overnight bag.

    BC recently commented that the Raps could make a tax-related deal today. It could lead to the Raptors bringing Carlos Delfino back into the fold--or just be a cost-cutting measure, such as waiving Hassan Adams or Nate Jawai, should their contracts not be guaranteed.

    Developing.


    UPDATE
    Hassan Adams has been traded to the Clippers for a conditional second round draft pick.

    Cut Hassan, not Nathan unless we are assured that Jawai can't play because of his health.

    After waiving Miles, Memphis looks to be a possible trading partner.

    Adams seems like he will be a good player from what I've seen from him.

    Blah... aside from the Clips doing the Raps a favor to get them under the luxury tax threshold, not a much to see here.

    WOW...

    What the fuck? So let me get this straight. They traded a future second rounder for Adams... and then they waive him? So they just wasted a pick? Wtf

    It gets them under the luxury tax threshold, which saves them several million bucks.

    Yeah, plus Toronto gave them cash to cover Hassan's contract in full. So really they sold a conditional second rounder for cash to get under the limit.
