Cole Swider & ORL Robinson Waived (Possible Non-Guaranteed Deals Coming)

[mrdressup]

I'd be shocked if Robinson isn't brought back. He seems like a good 3rd Center who you hope gets better to be a legit backup soon.

3rd C on a weak team is his likely ceiling.

I dont mind Orlando as a 3rd string big, really don't want him to be the primary backup.

Whatever about Swider. Sweet jumper but ... okay.

I don't mind him if he never plays anything but garbage minutes.

Thats exactly what we are that team currently lol. If he doesn't improve at all then you cut bait with him but we don't have a better option for the price tag at the moment.

No I still think there is no savings waiving him though obviously I could be wrong.
Remember that those 41 games include his 2 10 day deals. So the 491,887 salary is a prorated amount from the point he signed it until the end of the year.

Right, so we are only paying him 500k by waiving him and having him with less than 41 games being with the team.
Those 100k 10 day contracts will be included in the 500k, so we should be 500k under the tax with that calculation.
If we don't waive him and assume that would be more than 41 games, those 10 day contracts will not count (part of the annual salary), but his salary could be 1m.

That is my thought on waiving him.

waiving Robinson/swider has nothing to do with getting under tax, his salary, saving money or anything, its just giving raptors other options.

bring back robinson on a 1+1
sign other players on a 1 +1
convert 2 way to regular etc

getting a head start on setting roster for training camp/offseason where they can have 20 players signed.

robinson got paid 500k + 120k + 120k from the raptors

I don't see those happen, maybe we can wait.
I still believe this is a cap move, and waive them with 2 games left.
Jan 18 was announced his 1st 10 days contract, and Jan 17 is the 42nd game.

If we don't see any roster change, do we believe this is a cap move? Is there more reason not to wait until the season is finished?
