that puts us at 15, even-steven. I think I'm very fine with that lineup-in general. Versatility if injuries come up, maybe leave Cooley on an un-guaranteed deal.

I'd rather keep 4 PGs and keep Cotton around, in case Burke gets traded, but wouldn't complain about that 15 at all.

EDIT: NBA Pleiss leaving @FCBbasket for @utahjazz as @arbarkas had reported - According to @josehuguet the buy out is paid https://www.eurohoops.net/?p=108863


We have so much ****ing height now, y'all. Pleiss is a legit 7-footer :o

Cool thread bro, thanks for jinxing the deal. Doc Rivers is probably at Pleiss's house ready to kidnap him to back-up Deandre Jordan.
 
So wtf? Is he signed?
If not, is it a for-gone conclusion?
The article says we paid the buy out.
We wouldn't do that if we were not signing him right?
 
I'm sure there's a bunch of legal mumbo-jumbo that has to happen. Lawyers will confirm both parties have signed off on the buyout and Pleiss is free of his contract. Probably will take a few days to cross the T's, dot the I's and transfer the $650K.

I'm assuming that (a) the article which said we paid the buy-out (post 3 of thread) is correct, and (b) that we wouldn't have paid the buy out if we hadn't already signed him or at least come to a verbal agreement. That's why I've left the thread stickied even though there's been no official announcement yet. But I suppose either of those assumptions could be wrong.
 
We bought him out... they'll figure out a deal most likely.

If not since he is bought out maybe he has more trade value because he is fully unencumbered. Maybe we are looking for something a little different and are willing to shop around a little while first.
 
You don't pay $625,000 for flexibility. They either have paid the buyout and will sign him to a contract, or a European team will pay the buyout and he'll stay over there.

They might be working on a deal... say with Boston for Olynyk and they wanted us to buy him out to make certain it won't hit a snag... cash considerations go into deals all the time so it wouldn't be unheard of. Also, wouldn't count against the $3M we can send out in deals per year (not that we'd use it up).

I'd say its 95% likely we just sign him and there are some paperwork issues, but DL loves him some flexibility... it might be his favorite thing.
