[LaGuardia] Recent NBA undrafted free agent, Robert Upshaw, has reportedly been signed by the New Orleans Pelicans on a four-year, minimum guaranteed deal per sources.

I'm not seeing anything remotely like that. I'm not saying he pulled it out of his arse, but I think who ever he's quoting did.

Anyway, the biggest thing I take away from this is that we won't have guys back for another two weeks, which is a bit depressing. I definitely thought Cole and Asik would be back before then.

Why? MM threw 2 weeks out there on twitter too, but I didn't see a time limit in Larry Coon's CBA FAQ that I linked earlier.

I've seen the two week thing here, on PR, and on Reddit so I just assumed that was the deal. I didn't research it or anything.

So it's probably all an MM echo chamber. Crewz, what's up with the 2 week talk?

This is from an article I found when OKC had to sign Ish Smith last year.

quote:

What is a hardship exception?

It’s a temporary roster spot that must be granted by the league. It allows a team to exceed the 15-man maximum roster when it has at least four players who are sick or injured for longer than two weeks. Each of the four sick or injured players must miss at least three consecutive games during their two-week absence. An independent physician, not the team’s doctor, must decide whether each player is required to miss two weeks. With Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Mitch McGary and Grant Jerrett all having missed at least three straight games while sidelined for at least the season’s first month with various injuries, the Thunder meets the criteria.

I'm trying to find a more reliable source.

That's good enough for me. Larry Coon doesn't have all of the answers, he's just seems to have the most answers. I also had completely forgotten about Perkins until somebody updated his thread just now. So Asik could come back next game and we'd still have 4 Pels down.

Not sure how much more guard play I can take from Ish/TD/Gee/Jimmer etc.

Alvin, if you are reading this, please throw caution to the wind and play Holiday.

God Monty, let it go.

In all seriousness, this offense is perfect for Jimmer. There are no bad shots as long as they're good looks. I'm not expecting a resurgence, but I wouldn't be shocked if he excels much more this time around here.
