The team had until January 10th to waive him without it affecting their cap since he was non-guaranteed until then. Doing this now indicates they are likely signing a FA. Is that Bassey? Is it...Ben Simmons?
I think a waiver before Jan 10 still would leave us on the hook for a prorated portion of his salary.
It would, but waiving him before January 10 would still get the Celtics under the second apron.
But they presumably know they are not keeping him regardless, and giving him a chance to find somewhere else to land. But Tatum hurt, Smart to the Lakers, and Davison gone: I am going to have a very sad 9 year-old when she hears about this, even thought she knew Davison probably wasn?t going to make the team this year.
