TRob getting a look from five teams

What are the winning lotery #'s, Magstrodamus?

 

Hahaha! Nah I just knew he wanted to go to a team he felt he would have the best chance of getting burn on. I think he will get the most in NJ

 

I'm glad TRob is on a crappy eastern team instead of a crappy western team

 

Im just glad he didnt go to spurs and turn into an all-star that kills us in playoffs for next 15 years

 

I knew he'd go to the east.

 

I'm hopeful (but not very optimistic) that Victor ends up on the Spurs...

 

Last I checked Victor was considering two overseas teams, Maccabi Haifa and a Spanish team I think.

 

Rumor that Philly may claim him off waivers

 

I really hope Philly picks him up because he'll start on that team. Shilly with the Philly but the question is will he?

 

CBS Sports:

 

Will he? Don't be silly, the weather's too chilly in Philly, especially for Schilly.

Milli Vanilli.

Wojnarowski:
Sixers need to reach 90 percent of cap before season's end. Robinson's salary gets it there. If not, shortfall divided among rest of roster.

Stein:
And claiming Thomas Robinson, if they do in 20 mins, would take Sixers from $3,034,872 UNDER salary floor to OVER. Robinson makes $3,678,360

 

Well there should be playing time to be had on PHI roster if TRob goes for it.

 

I feel bad for T-Rob... Thought he was going to a potential playoff team in BKN, ends up having to go to Philly of all places. I hope he likes cheesesteaks because that's as good as its gonna get for him as a Sixer. Hell, that is the only thing that's good for any Sixer right now.

 

Goes for it? You mean accepts? I thought when you are claimed off waivers, you don't have a choice?

 

In this case goes for it as in puts forth the effort.

 

I think the Nets were offering a 10 day contract and Philly is offering to pay out his season. He'll play for a contract and could showcase his talents, it's not far from his home an the Nets can sign him in the offseason. Better than being buried on the bench in the western conference.

 

The only reason Philly took him was to clear the min cap restrictions set in place through the CBA. They might take him and buy him out so they are covered.
The Sixers needed the sum of Robinson's remaining salary to honor the obligations of the collective bargaining agreement that dictate a team needs to reach within 90 percent of the NBA's salary floor before season's end - or pay out that shortfall amount equally among the rest of the players on the roster.

Robinson's $3,678,360 salary pushes the Sixers over the salary floor. Denver is no longer responsible for paying Robinson's salary. After meeting the cap obligations they could then waive him and he would then be allowed to sign with Brooklyn or whomever he chooses.
