Wait so we cut Pittman already? If so what were scouts doing where we sign someone to cut a good player only to cut the signed player a few days later?

If were gonna sign a Powell or a Pittman why not try fab melo? I assume they're all about the same amount of usefulness and at least fab is the youngest and has the coolest name?

i think they didn't think powell will be eligible for the playoff
but he was clear by fiba so they signed him already
i read he is good friend of howard so i think he might be the one pushing for him
6'9" pf that can shoot the 3
don't know how well is his defense though or how good shooter he is

What the heck??? Couldn't they have this figured out a few days earlier? Sounds like fail to me.

Pittman: 1 NBA championship
Powell: 2 NBA championships

We just doubled the championship experience on this team. Morey is a genius!

It'll be interesting to see how the list dwindles down to, since we're only allowed to cull 12 players altogether from Active, Injured, Suspended.

These are the guys that will make it:

Harden, Beverly, Howard, Parsons, TJ, Lin, Asik

These guys will likely make it:

Motie, Garica, Casspi.

So the remaining two spots are going to be split between:

Powell, Hamilton, Daniels, Canaan, Covington

I guess Powell's the insurance policy? Covington is probably out. I think we need a third point so I'll go with Canaan.

NBA rosters are 13 active players now instead of 12. And I think they've changed the rules for the playoffs too where you can designate 2 inactive players for each game.

Last year's playoffs the Spurs used all 15 players

Am I reading it wrong or is their own site out of date?

Oh dang. This is embarassing. My Noscript plugin ripped out the div tag which included the updated information. I had to pop open the source code for the page.

Woops

[ChokeFasncists]
