Not sure if this hasn't been posted or I'm just very late, I heard they were considering waiving him but now its official.

Bummer for E'Twuan, hopefully we can pick him back up next summer! :D

Too bad he deserves a real chance. Maybe a year or two in Europe would not be the worst thing for him; but rather have him than Dooling. Too bad we couldn't include Dooling in the Lee sign and trade and keep Moore.

I read I Hoopshype that Chicago is looking to bring him in as a combo 3rd string guard after te Lee trade. Hope he lands on a team somewhere, he's a good bench option.

I thought his contract became guaranteed on Sunday.  If he was waived this late, was it a goodwill gesture by the Rockets so that he still gets paid this year?  If so, that's a classy move.

Moore's a guy who I think should start the season in the D-League and earn a ten-day contract somewhere, which he can parlay into a full-time gig.

good kid.  hope he catches on somewhere.  I would think he caught someone's eye during summer league.  looked better than most of the other guards on the other teams.

Yeah agreed.  I have never been much of a fan but he deserves a shot somewhere.  I think he has the heart and drive to make it.

For an extra body in camp, sure.

This doesn't surprise me. I'm sure someone will bring him in as a camp body

I think Dooling is here more to keep Rondo's head on straight at this point. I heard he's the vet with the most influence over Rondo.

Yeah, I think they do value the depth and versatility he brings (he was very important in the playoffs), but yes, he was signed for his leadership. 

He is a PG/SG version of Scal.  Can really step in if there is an emergency, and not blow everything up...but his real value is in the lockerroom.

Is there anything, in theory, preventing Boston from claiming him off waivers?
