    If we win a championship with our guys it would make life so sweet. Talk about being underdogs.

    I believe that all waiver claims end at 5PM ET, regardless of when the player was waived.

    There's ton's of articles that reference 5PM (see the links in my post for 3 of them).

    From Larry Coon's CBA FAQ:

    "
    64. What happens when a player is released? What are waivers? What is the Stretch provision?
    Waivers are a temporary status for players who are released by their team. A team initiates the waiver process by "requesting waivers" on the player they are releasing. The player stays "on waivers" for 48 hours (including weekends and holidays), during which time other teams may claim the player and assume his contract. If no team has claimed the player before the end of the waiver period (which is always 5:00 PM Eastern Time), he "clears waivers." The player's contract is terminated and he becomes a free agent. The only way to terminate a contract early (other than with an ETO -- see question number 57) is through the waiver process.1"

    if Melo signs for the minimum after Max disses him like that, does it make Melo's deal . . . wait for it . . . a Max contract?

    I am not concerned about whether Melo knows how to play the game of basketball, I am somewhat concerned about his physical ability to play basketball against younger and less washed NBA players.

    Hakeem Olajuwon knows how to play the game of basketball, too, but I don't think he'd be very effective out there in the NBA.
