His salary is a Minimum Salary, so get him on waivers, or wait 48h and sign him later doesn't change anything, he would cost the minimum.

Now, I am not sure we can get him without paying LT.
With the Hinrich trade, we are at 70,089,489, and the LT threshold is set at 70,307,000.

Thought the same thing. If he can recapture some of that play he brought to the Cs he might be worth looking into.

Most reports are reporting he wants to go back to Boston and that Boston intends to sign him. Boston will look strong inside once they get healthy and once Rasheed Wallace comes out of retirement.

Right, we can get him while on waivers, and BOS would have nothing to say.
But if it puts us over the tax, it won't happen.
