    He is expiring.

    This is purely a good-will gesture towards the greatest player in their franchise history and will mean that he'll retire as a Timberwolve.

    Needless to say, it'll put some butts in the seats as well

    Thad Young just keeps getting thrown to garbage teams. Seriously for someone who's been so solid.... Why does he put up with losing?

    Correct me if I'm wrong: trades can only be submitted to the league office within the next 14 hours and 40 minutes?

    I think you are going to have a larger amount of contracts bought and waived using the stretch provision this year. The real activity might not occur until the deadline. Everyone wants cheap controllable players and no one wants to give them up.

    However, people want as much capspace as possible for the 2016 bonanza, so contenders will just wait to get a vet at the minimum. The kind of waived vets available might only be 80% as effective as the trade targets we all have been discussing but getting something for essentially free is almost always preferrable to paying for something better.

    The NBA won't downsize when most franchises are worth billions or close to it. I expect expansion within 10 years

    There's typically a little bit of a grace period if a deal has been reached but just working out the final details. I know deals roll in through the media a little after the deadline most years, so don't get too caught up on the clock to the dot.

    Yes, but that doesn't mean it will be reported on in that timeframe.

    Afterwards, teams are free to trade once their season is over

    The whole reason we waited for Shved was so that Zoran could take his place. If you don't understand what I'm trying to say I'm saying that WE WENT IN FOR DRAGIC HE GETS TO KEEP HIS BROTHER WERE GETTING DRAGIC PANIC ! PANIC ! PANIC !

    #Flexibility for #Durant2016 if that's a bust too then #Curry2017 'cause Rockets fans are so easy to appease
