Suns have signed Gordon Giricek for remainder of season according to KTAR test message I just received.

Giricek won't clear waivers until Tuesday, so what you said is complete bull. He isn't even a free agent yet.

I know that and you know that. However, there's obviuosly something, because KTAR texted me saying that the Suns had signed him for the remainder of the season.

Gambo and Ash from KTAR have clarified the deal. The Suns and Giricek, have agreed on a deal, so that when he clears waivers on Tuesday, he will sign the actual contract.

That seems much more logical.

So that means he's NOT eligible for the playoff roster since he is signing after March 1st. Correct?

Just had to be released by March 1

that all had me confused too, i think misreporting with the jerry stackhouse thing started it

as long as the players is a Free Agent by the 1st of March, its fine, they can be signed on the 9th of March and its okay

they just must be waived and clear waivers before the 1st

Therein lies the problem...Gordon won't clear till Tuesday...thus negating his playoff eligibility from what I understand. I thought they had to be on your roster prior to March 1 to be eligible.

<---- Still confused. I just asked my contact to ask someone in the front office. Although from the looks of it, they don't know what the F they are doing either.

Okay...my contact found out from one of the guys that GG just had to be waived by March 1 so that he can be eligible for the playoffs. So when the Suns sign him Tuesday, it'll be all good. Nick's right.

Under NBA rules, players who were active prior to March 1 had to be waived before that date in order to retain their postseason eligibility.

ah, so they dont have to clear waivers, just be waived

awesome

i wanted barry, but giricek will do

we needed that extra shooter off the bench, and his defense should come in handy too

Can you imagine another team signing him just to f*ck with us?

As I understand it a player can be signed off of waivers by any team, it just means that his old team does not owe him any money and the new team takes over his contract.

So if I am correct that means the Spurs or Mavs or someone/anyone could sign him just to piss us off. :lol:

as we could claim cassell, barry etc when they were on waivers

but really, who wants someone on their team who doesnt want to be there

locker room harmony means alot

Too true, BUT given the chance to screw with someone's team would be pretty fun IMO. :lol:

If this was the case , then we should of claim Barry and let him come and play with us.
