Are we just leaving this spot open? What's the deadline to sign someone to be playoff eligible?
We have until the last day of the regular season.
Yes, the player has to have been bought out by March 1 and their contract that was bought out had to be less than the MLE. But there are still a couple of options out there, maybe...
Otto Porter
Danuel House
The reality is that the part of the roster that is going to impact the playoff rotation is set. The starters, plus Horford, Hauser, and Pritchard are set. Then maybe Tillman and/or Kornet will see some time. There is no buy out candidate out there that is going to make any difference. So I am not sure what the point is. I guess insurance for the insurance?
