    I don't see the rationale for not being able to waive a player while there's an investigation. A team should be able to say, "We don't need this player anymore." Waiving is not punishing. The guy will still get his guaranteed money.

    Says in their BY LAWS they can't waive him until the investigation is over, must be something in the CBA....@Bimathug do you know?

    They can waive him. They can't suspend him.

    The only reason the Rockets are waiting is to see if Silver will be generous enough to void his contract or to see if he will suspend him a significant portion of the season, thus allowing him to stay on the team to save whatever money they will from the suspension, even though his guaranteed money increases to $3M after October.

    By the bylaws, the Grizzlies couldn't suspend or waive Dylan Brooks until the FA period this year

    But, they sure made it known he wasn't ever going to be welcomed back beforehand!

    I'm pretty sure the Rockets can't say they have no interest resigning KPJ... Because he's under contract unlike DB who was a free agent. What they can say is they are trying to trade him which is them telling you they don't want him.

    Why would a team have to give any reason for waiving a player they no longer want?

    The Lakers were after Wood for quite some time.

    If so, then seems like a good reason to wait.

    They obviously don't want to (or can't) waive him yet, but they are going to part ways.

    lol its so funny. Its like the entire NBA and followers have no idea whats going on. If the Rockets were smart they would say look we cant waive him but they havent been smart in years. Either that or they can waive him and TIllman is bein cheap and greedy.

    i hope Silver hands him a full season 82-games suspension, KPJ not deserve a penny of any future salary.
    Ok he'll get his guaranteed $1mil.-$3mil. for 24'-25', fine, he need that money to pay the lawyers and to settle with the victim Kysre

    I think the CBA has specific rules on DV, and as such he might not be able to be cut until the investigation is over, because it is DV.....

    Aldridge and Hollinger are right. What Stone and the Rockets are doing is embarrassing.
