So this doesnt seem to be official yet. Nothing on the Sentinel about it, and no update to our roster on ESPN, despite is having Afflalo already. Seems weird.

Afflalo isn't official. They're both vet minimum deals and will be announced once we use whats left of our cap space.....if we use it.

I like this signing. Speights is a solid vet and a shooter for a big man. We need both of those attributes on this young team. Kinda get the feeling that we're trying to unload Biz contract and prob gonna package Mario as an incentive.

vet min deals can be signed any time, even when over the cap; but, when signed, they count against the cap. With us still having about $2.something left to spend, it's smarter to make those vet min deals official after we've used up all the cap we have. Making those signings official now will use up the rest of our cap.

hope my explanation isn't confusing and makes sense.

Well my friend, it is a good explanation as to how it is done, but what I need to know is when his signature is on the contract!

All we have been able to get on this is that they spoke with the team, and some reports say that he has agreed, but nothing says that the deal is done. This is what I struggle with. :banghead:
