    So is Anthony Bennett. But why can't we have all of the nice things?

    Need to save money since we're not making any more trades that'll put us deep in the luxury tax.

    McLemore is really flawed, but still a higher ceiling player than Chiozza.

    I was wondering what we had in mind for Davis after claiming him. Go figure??

    I'm OK with us rotating projects guys on the bench. To me, projects have a low chance of success but have shown a spark of something you want (e.g. Caboclo).

    We tend to pick up too many guys who have zero standout qualities and get lost in the shuffle (e.g. Vince Edwards.)

    down to 17 spots. if they sign Terrence Jones again that's up to 18 (please no).

    I'm sure this was just to avoid guaranteeing any money, as well as a sign that they don't expect to need their salaries for a trade.

    hopefully this means they will look to sign 2 more players before camp starts. some good vets still out there who can earn minutes. we need the depth, specifically in the front court.

    Davis' salary was probably going to become guaranteed or partially guaranteed after July 31st. I'm not sure about Chiozza.

    They were non-guaranteed contracts … Tilman didn't want them becoming guaranteed and having to pay them.

    Back under the luxury tax. 16 players under contract - three of those Exhibit 10's.

    (meant to be semi sarcastic)

    Semi sarcasm is better than no sarcasm at all. ;)
