I think what you said is correct. Last season, the Rockets waived couple players and then the 76ers claimed them. "76ers Claim James Anderson & Tim Ohlbrecht Off Waivers" And then they proceeded to waive Ohlbrecht later and I remember he returned to the Vipers too. So whether Covington will clear the waiver is thing, but we will still maintain his D-league right. He had a nice D-league season last year and some idiots even gave him 2 votes on the ROY voting, there could be someone out there will pick him up though.
I guess Morey want the vipers to stand out to help the Rockets win 1st round playoffs. Great genius!!!!
