[Chron] Rockets seek disabled-player exception

Good stuff, thanks for posting. Morey has a lot to work with. Can we find someone to deal with and does Les want to spend the money?

 

With the rockets luck, wouldn't be farfetched for the league to deny it on some technicality they pull out of their ass.

 

wonder if the exception can be used to sign some diamond-in-the-rough euro that morey's had his eye on

 

I've never heard of anyone ever getting for the same player two years in a row.

 

Didn't the Rockets get a disabled-player exception last season for Yao, resulting in Ariza, and later Courtney Lee?

I guess they can get a DPE for the same player two seasons in a row?

 

Technically yes, but likely no. All the int'l leagues have started and all the diamonds have signed for the year.

 

If granted how long til it expires?

 

Does anyone know how long this process generally takes? week? 2 weeks? month?

 

Didn't know that. Seems like just the right kind of justification the League would use to deny giving it to Morey.

 

Does it still go against the cap?

NBA grants Trail Blazers a disabled player exception for Greg Oden injury

did they get 1 last year too?

 

sweet, take it take it

 

Money makes everything better it seems.

 

Good find. Hope we get something out of the two exceptions

 

If we have 45 days from last Thursday, we have to use it by January 29. I wish it were closer to the trade deadline when teams start getting desperate to cut salary. We might get a decent player or a first round pick if we're lucky.

 

what does disable exception thing mean ?

 

When do they rename it the Rockets exception?
