    Mitchell.....YES. I want #15 to fill a spot. He looks like he has the energy level that Stotts needs in the end of 3rd and mid 4th Q's.

    Are teams actually required to carry 14? Everything I've read says the minimum is 13.

    Well if we were willing to go into the luxury tax, we do have the tax-MLE still available, but I don't see that happening.

    Technically we could also offer a multi-year deal to any of these guys while other teams can only offer the minimum.

    How much do 10 day contracts count against the cap? Could be a way to take a look at some guys no?

    True, but like you said, I don’t see that happening, not with the guys expected to be available at least.

    I looked it up and from what I gathered we are allowed one 10 day contract guy at a time since we have 13 players on the active roster (Baldwin doesn’t count)

    As for the $, I don’t believe any would cost more than about $80k

    So I definitely think it’s an option.

    I'm not sure they can play in the playoffs if they have just one 10 day contract though...

    The idea was we take a look at someone on a ten day and if we like him we sign him for the rest of the season.

    Rashad Vaughn a 6 foot 6 SG who hasn't done shit in the league since drafted 17th a couple years ago is getting waived after traded twice in a week. He is a candidate for a 10 day contract once he clears waivers.

    We don't really need him but Willie Reed has been waived and I thought he was actually doing pretty well for Clippers before they included him in the blockbuster trade.

    BTW I was wondering, what is the benefit for the team that are letting the player go that they get from agreeing to a buyout? .

    The player still counts against the cap until the end of his deal, right?

    Sounds right up our Ally. A player that we can develop and call untouchable!

    To be fair, you aren't going to find a game changer on waivers. We are talking about the 14th player on a roster here. But I actually agree with you in this case. He wouldn't be my first pick.

    Didn't they just win both games of a B2B and Lillard dropped 50 in 3 quarters?
