"Look for Hornets to waive Dominic McGuire today. McGuire's contract woulda been guaranteed for rest of season if still on roster by Tuesday."

I'm not sure why it'd have to be today unless he has to clear waivers, etc. or it has to do with the regular-joe work week.

Ah.

"A 10-day contract is just that, a player contract which lasts ten days (or three games, whichever comes later). Teams may sign players to 10-day contracts starting January 5 each season. Teams cannot sign players to 10-day contracts that would extend past their last regular season game. In other words, after their 80th game (64th in 2011-12) or after the 10th day before their last regular season game (whichever comes first) teams can no longer sign 10-day contracts.

A team may sign a single player to two 10-day contracts in one season (they may or may not be consecutive). After the second 10-day contract, the team can only retain the player by signing him for the remainder of the season. A team can't have more 10-day contracts than they have players on their Inactive List."

So now we have Miller on the Inactive list, and can sign these guys, and this would leave a spot open if we utilized one of these at some point.

This could be it.

ETA: removed a 1 that appeared after the 5 in January 5 that made it look like January 51. Sorry.

I thought the deadline was something like January 10th so must be about clearing waivers. But unless Demps has his eye on someone else the 10 day contracts become available once the January 10th deadline passes.
