Trade Deadline ––> Waiver/Buyout Deadline 2015 (March 1)

[Ohio]

Would much rather add Lin.

We can't add Lin if he's not bought out...

I know. But I read reports earlier this week that Lin & LA could discuss a potential buyout.
And if that's the case, I would much rather add him (pg) than McGee (big men).

But let's wait and see what happens until midnight.

Absolutely. I would too.

 

[TheISHT]

I'd drop Jones, Miller, Delly, or Joe for McGee.

So McGee was waived. Should we take a look at him? He would be more valuable than Perkins since he's more mobile, but I doubt we'd waive a guy for him.
Also a question. I know we won't do it, even if the rules allow it, but can you waive a guy that you just signed (like Perkins) or do you have to wait a certain amount of time to waive him?

Only one I can see being waived is Joe Harris. Having 2 stiff bigs really hurts us, we can't waive Haywood and just signed Perk.

Not exactly sure of the rule. But they won't do that to a veteran player like Perkins because he wouldn't be eligible for another playoff team. The Cavs don't want to have a reputation with Veterans for a move like that. They will need minimum signings in the future.
