Hardship Exception

[Handlogten's Heros]

No, the hardship exception is given to teams with multiple injured players at the same time(I think it was 3 or 4, not sure). At the time Exum got injured we only had him injured. Right now we have Gobert, Exum, Thabo + probably someone else out so we are applying for it. The best thing about this one is that we get an additional roster slot if the league approves the exception.

I believe you have to release the player or a player once a guy comes back too... would be an interesting reason to keep Gobert sidelined an extra week or two.

I though Spida was our hardship exception.

Tankship exemption.

I believe AKs Wife also gave him one of these each year.

It might be for trade purposes. (So we can take on two contracts while sending out one for example)

Exactly, but when Rudy comes back or if Dante came back I think you have to cut back down to 15. Likely JJ would be cut, so he can sign with a contender, but they would want to wait post Feb 8 just in case his salary is needed in a trade. So we would hold Rudy out until ready to make a decision on JJ.

I think could see a Favs to Cle for Shump, Osman, and their first. I don't know if they would do Frye in Shump's place which would be ideal... I think they would make us eat the Shump salary.

Would be a great tank move... throw Osman out there and figure out if you have anything there. Lose in the process...


TANK SZN!

I could be wrong, but if you are at the roster cap and you’re having to waive a player (hypothetically we trade Favors for Shumpert and Crowder), I don’t believe you can waive the incoming player, so you waive a Royce O’Neale or whoever to accommodate Shumpert. I think this would give us a loophole where we accept an extra player and can then waive/buyout one of them (a Shumpert, for example) at a later date without having to waive an O’Neale.

Would be another option. I wouldn’t waive Shumpert though because of the extra year... unless he took way less cash... maybe he would be dumb enough to waive his player option.

Have the Cavs force him to hire George Hill's agent as part of the conditions of the trade.
