Mychel Thompson waived

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Re: Mychel Thompson makes his case

Good news...Havent been a fan of this guy at all. Didnt show anything that would indicate that he is a better player then Harris.
 
Re: Mychel Thompson makes his case

I believe we're still allowed to offer 2 10-day contracts to a player, so we can take plenty of looks at Manny, Thompson, or whoever without sacrificing trade flexibility.

I think the big things he had going for him were feet that were not burned and a well connected Dad.
 
Re: Mychel Thompson makes his case

Let's not forget that this also opens up the ability to take on more players in trades.

Sam The Bullshit Whisperer echoing your thoughts. Don't know how "in the know" he is, but take this for what it's worth:
Sam The Bullshit Whisperer: Cavs' waiving of Thompson makes sense. Offers flexibility. And don't know this for sure, but I doubt move was made to call up Manny Harris.

Something is brewing, I feel.

John Hollinger: Nothing about his tenure there makes any sense.

Yup...

Cavs waive Mychel Thompson. Hearing that D-League call up is very likely. Signs pointing to Manny Harris with the Canton Charge.

If Manny is signed to the Cavs, he's about to see an extra '0' added at the end of his current salary.
 
Re: Mychel Thompson waived (post #70)

I don't get putting him in there only to waive him a couple days later.

Either way, doesn't matter to me. Maybe this means we're about to pull of a trade. Or that Manny has seriously improved. We'll just have to wait and see.

His contract becomes guaranteed Friday
 
Re: Mychel Thompson waived (post #70)

This is a good move, once he clears waivers he can go down to Canton and play consistent minutes, there is not going to be a mad rush for teams to go and sign him off a D-League roster. Now was the time to make this move with contracts becoming guaranteed on Friday, seems a little interesting to make the move today instead of later in the week especially with AP still out, but I have to believe that the Cavs FO was feeling pressure to make a decision because the scouting of Manny Harris in the D-League has increased dramatically. I know for a fact, a high level NBA exec scouted him out in California on the last road trip and then flew to Canton to scout him over the weekend. Time was running out for the Cavs.

They had injuries, and probably figured that they'd throw MT the minutes for a final bit of due diligence before saying bye bye.

And since he likely confirmed what they already knew, they said PEACE!

Yea, the Cavs have a good setup down here, with Wes Wilcox on down, I think buying their own D League team was a very under rated move, and a luxury most teams do not have
 
Re: Mychel Thompson waived (post #70)

this is interesting...Gibson was just ruled out of the Heat game tomorrow and didn't even travel and Thompson was waived today....who starts at the 2 tomorrow, Sessions or Gee?
