    It will be interesting to see where he ends up. I've been curious to see him play more.

    I really hope we don't lose Cliff... I was really excited to see his improvement this year. His upside is huge!

    Why waive him now unless we have a few things about to go down? Or am I missing something?

    I asked the same question. I think we needed the roster spot.

    It says it right there in the tweet. They needed the cap room.

    Not a roster spot issue. Its to free up a tad more cash to offer Ezeili

    retired, while you work!
    He's been practicing for days with our Summer League team. Woj announced he'd been cut 40 hours before the first game.

    Maybe the reason that Olshey cut Alexander then, was to do him a favor by not playing him under false pretenses...in other words, so that Alexander's agent could find him the SL team where he'd have the best chance to get a contract.
