Will the Rockets get another roster exemption from the NBA?

From Coon...

A team must have 12 players on its active roster, although they can drop to 11 for up to two weeks at a time. They must suit up at least eight players for every game. Any remaining players must be on its Inactive List, and are ineligible to play in games.

A team must have a minimum of one and a maximum of three players on its Inactive List, although they can drop to zero for up to two weeks at a time, and can temporarily have four with league approval in the event of a hardship.

The composition of the Inactive List can change on a game-by-game basis -- no less than 60 minutes prior to tipoff, the team must present to the official scorer a list of the players who will be active for that game. A player can be inactive for as little as one game.

While individual teams are only required to carry 13 players (12 active and one inactive), the NBA also guarantees a league-wide average of at least 14 players per team. The league is surcharged if they do not meet this obligation.

...IOW, it's not going to happen. Unless the Rockets waive someone and that's not very likely since both the waived player and the newly signed player would have LTax implications.

 

If your holding your breath for help from the NBDL, your in a bad place my friend. If they aren't on an NBA team right now, they aren't going to be of much help.

 

what is a roster exemption going to do for us?

unless tmac and yao get back we aren't going anywhere.

what might help is petitioning the league for a new rule where every team we play must sit thier best two players against us. to be fair it should include the best two players from the bench as well, but i would settle for the overall best two.

 

Allows the team to closely scout the NBDL talent they pick up.

 

Tell Sprewell we gave his spot to JL3.

 

Time to bring it Bad-Man and Spanoulis!
