65. What happens when a player is released? What are waivers? What is the Stretch provision?


Quote:
A team can claim a player on waivers only if one of the following is true:

The team is far enough under the salary cap to fit the player's entire salary.
The team has a Disabled Player exception for at least the player's salary (see question number 25), and the player is on the last season of his contract.
The team has a trade exception for at least the player's salary (see question number 85).
The player has a minimum salary contract.



Anthony Bennett -- $5,803,560

Thompson was a beast defensively... Larry Bird hated that trade San Antonio did with us for MT. he is in no way the worst #1 pick.

If bennet can someway produce 14ppg 7 boards and 1.5 blocks per game Mitch better sign him

Leaving out the pre-1970s guys and Bennett, I'd say the worst were:

LaRue Martin
Greg Oden
Michael Olowokandi
Kwame Brown
Ken Benson
Pervis Ellison

Never nervous Pervis. Just that name alone brings back good memories. He was a beast in college.

yea, where did this idea that mychal thomspon isn't good come from? i feel that one came out of thin air, or am i not remembering something? wasn't he always a pretty good player on showtime?

In a do over of that draft, the obvious thing is that Bird goes number 1 (he was picked a year before he actually came out under old rules), but Thompson still probably goes number two.

Pervis was good when not injured, he averaged 20, 20 and 17 in the NBA in 3 consecutive seasons.

What about Chris Washburn ?


The aforementioned Benson was a role player from day 1, he was so amazing that one hardly hears his name.
