Don't see him going to San Antonio. He's a better fit in Houston than anywhere but I wouldn't mind him going elsewhere. I mean, it's Bogut. He's a walking, talking, dribbling Ed Hardy T-shirt.
Holy crap... If this is true, then Morey is a freaking genius. He would have outsmarted every contender in the league...
no, no. Think $14m Josh Smith when ATL waived him and bought him out. Cutting someone means the contract is torn up and terminated....unless a team picks up the contract off of waivers, in the 3 day window....which no one will do. If he clears waivers, which he will since no contenders have money to pick up his contract, then a new contract is negotiated with any team. The new team will pay that amount of the new (Josh Smith like) contract, and that will be the cap hit. The buyout will be paid by Philly, and they get the cap hit for that....minus anything the new team pays him.
Yes, I know the rule. What I'm telling you is that cap experts, including Bobby Marks and David Weiner have now either said or retweeted posts that say that the Ilgauskas rule only applies to the most recent team that trades him. So according to the rules: Team A trades Player to Team B Team B cuts Player Team A can't sign Player for 12 months However... Team A trades Player to Team B Team B trades Player to Team C Team C cuts player Team B can't sign player for 12 months, but the restriction no longer applied to Team A
@WojVerticalNBA: Sources: After an NBA review, @BobbyMarks42 interpretation is correct: Golden State is eligible to sign Andrew Bogut as a free agent. Wow!! @WojVerticalNBA: NBA's reacquisition rule doesn't apply to GSW, because Dallas becomes most recent to waive Bogut. G-State undecided on its Bogut interest.
