    What you're talking about, KOR, is a cap exemption to sign a player due to Ezeli's injury. Separately, there is a roster-size exemption if a team has four or more injured players.

    As it stands now, we're presently only at two, three if Meyers had to miss time, so we don't qualify for that either unless another player gets injured.

    That's what I was thinking. But I assume we could now..... if we wanted.

    Ed is out for the season. Vonleh needs to log all the backup center minutes at this point, with Aminu and Harkless backing Vonleh up at the 4.

    But yeah--we need another big.

    I have another question....

    This got posted yesterday afternoon. It seems to me this would be headline news everywhere. (at least locally). Herniated discs? Really??? I just happened to stumble across it on CSNNW this morning. That doesn't make much sense to me....

    I think Neil going ride it out the rest of the season. I don't see him signing anybody to me that a mistake if we want to make the playoffs.

    Why would adding frontcourt depth to offset injury losses be a mistake? If 60% of our legitimate bigs are hurt, it only makes sense to bring in another one. so as to avoid overburdening the healthy ones.

    I think he agrees with you but missed a timely ",". He is saying its a big mistake to not sign someone if we want to make the playoffs.

    Or "my bunghole"

    Or "the team"

    or "himself"

    or "the legends of all other bigs who can shoot."

    Lol. My very first line in the post was...

    "(more than just us)"

    However, I thought Stren had a good point, so I deleted it.

    It depends on the level of care. Meyers will probably receive a high level. But even if they heal, they ”may not” return to their exact pre-injury state.

    No, we used our one amnesty player provision on BRoy.

    However, if we have a new CBA with a new amnesty provision, then possibly.

    Alexander makes the most sense even if he's not really a center. He knows the system.
