If they aren't moved...waive Thabeet, Williams, and Flynn March 16th?

Seems like the scouts didn't do their homework with these guy's. None of them have been able to work their way onto a consistent playing rotation.

 

I could not agree more. That would allow Morris to possibly get playing time. All three of those guys are obviously not in our long term plans. If we cannot trade their expirings for something by the deadline then cut them and give some young D league guys that deserve a shot some PT. You never know what you will get.

 

I like this idea.

Never know what you will get with a hungry D-League guy striving to make it in the big league

 

Isn't thabeet an expiring?

 

A "big" expiring contract is what I meant. Couldn't he be used as a valuable trade chip

 

Definitely at least one of them will not be on the team after the deadline, trade or not.

I expect the Rockets to waive Thabeet and bring back Adrien, if they can't get another big in here.

 

If they aren't moved....Morey fail.

 

if not moved... MAJOR FAIL!

Trade for Gasol = BIGGER FAIL!

Dont diasppoint, DM!

 

This is true about Thabeet.

Flynn looked like he was on his way (in his rookie year), but the serious injury/surgery killed his explosiveness and confidence.

Williams has all the tools and potential, but scouts didn't forsee his immaturity being the death of him, especially when he "lead" his Louisville team to a 1-seed in his final year.

 

I still see some Twill supporters.... he is flashy.... but not effective

 

Fixed

 

Yes, thus the idea of waiving them AFTER the trade deadline and not this very moment. We all hope we can use them in a trade, that goes without saying.

My answer: that should be up to McHale. If it's me, I keep Williams and toss the other two. But if he doesn't intend to play any, by all means don't keep any.

 

Yes, but not after the March 15th trade deadline -- hence the thread title.

 

Obviously, no point in keeping Thabeet if he isn't traded. If it were me, I'd cut T-Will too, recent minutes notwithstanding, just to eliminate all the drama of his tweeting. I'd consider keeping Flynn in case we have PG troubles. He was decent once, we might need him, he might do in a pinch, and he won't be a troublemaker in the meantime.

 

Thabeet, yes. Williams and Flynn, no. I think they'd be the best options on the market for third stringers at the 1-3 spots so it doesn't really help us to waive them--and it might help some team we don't want to help.

 

I'd waive Flynn if Ish gets cut.

 

This.

Thabeet is probably the exception here, as his lone value is his expiring contract. So if he's not needed as a salary filler, he should get waived after the deadline.

I expect T-Will and one of Dragic and Flynn to be moved. If Dragic gets moved, Flynn will probably our PG backup for the rest of this season.

 

Why the fizzuck would we do that? They are expiring contracts, if we let them walk come free agency, we open up TONS of cap room!
