Besides Stiemsma being terrible, I wonder if there was an incident that led to this. It isn't like Ely is some young guy brought in to get a look at over the last couple of games. While I'm glad I don't have to worry about Stiemsma being in a Pels jersey next year anymore, the timing is strange.

I don't know if you are playing off the mick's thread or you are serious but this means he won't be a pel next year which I support strongly

This is weird as hell and I love it. Starting center to waived in a week. He doesn't belong on an NBA roster.

Is it still April 1st. I was very surprised to find the link went to an official press release.

I wonder if we have The Bird Writes to thank for this.

The team is very thin and Stiemsa was injured (update was expected today). If he wasn't going to play again this year, Demps may have needed to add a warm body to the roster.

Oh hell yes! This also means that all minutes will likely go to Withey/Ajinca unless necessary to bring in Ely because of foul trouble (ahem AA).

I didn't either, I just saw Eichenhofer this morning say an injury update was expected for Tyreke, Roberts and Stiemsma.
