Pops was waived by Houston. Their fanbase seems to think this was done in preparation for a potential trade.

Waive Griffin, Sign Pops.

Agreed, or waive Collins and sign him.

Waive both Collins and Griffin and sign Pops for that matter. He would be Lou 2.0 for us, and is stronger so could probably be more efficient in guarding C's.

Waive Griffin AND Collins. Then sign Pops and wait for Raja.

Trade Griffin + Tucker to the Clippers for Jordan+Rush, then sign Pops!

Nash/Dragic
Jrich/Barbosa/Rush
Hill/Dudley/Clark
Amare/Pops/Amundson
Frye/Jordan/Lopez

Okay, why are they releasing him? Damaged goods?

That's my thought - they're so hard up for bodies, and he fits right in with their work ethic and hustle.
There has to be something else going on

Oh, and Raja is out for the year - he's going to have wrist surgery.

Really?? I didn't hear that yet.

Not to take a page out of THe Diesel's book but was the trade made subject to physicals/will it be reversed?

If not, they may as well have waived Jackson and kept Acie Law haha

Again, the Houston fan base is just as confused and they believe a trade is in the works. I can't imagine it's a character issue.

I think it's a matter of him wanting a bigger role and a lot more playing time, so much so that it is becoming an issue with them. I don't know, just my opinion.

Ah, released for tax savings.

good pick up maybe. he's decent. better than collins i'd guess. raja is out, and why wouldn't he be? i'd take surgery over playing for warriors too haha. poor guy. i love bell.

Is collins guarnteed? If not waive his ass and sign Pops.
