Someone else asked this and made me wonder. Now that we have two people on the roster out for the season, is there an "injured reserve" rule where we can add players to the roster and have them injured players be kind of redshirted or however you want to call it....without us having to cut someone?

Any updates on Harrington? Might he become that 3rd player?
Spectre how does teams sign player to ten day contracts when aplayer gets hurt the signs that player to the remainder of the year. Really we down to 12 contract players if we count Harrington but i doubt he retires. J ust wondered how the 10 day contract thing and then sign them to the remainder of the year worked.
Dunno Dav...all I can assume is the teams you're talking of don't have a full 15 on the roster, which isn't unusual.  Byron Scott (in Hoopshype Rumors) is saying he'll probably cut one more and get down to 14 slots.  This leaves flexibility in case something comes along that you can't refuse.Quote:

I'm betting the food's too good on the road.
They should have kept Gabe Muoneke. he plays 2,3 and 4 and can flat out score.
UTfan1 - I don't suppose you might be a bit biased towards the former Longhorns player? I have my doubts that he can effectively guard a 2, at 6'-7" and 243 pounds - he did score well in summer league, but for someone his size, he did not rebound well or do much of anything else of note.
I'm not saying he couldn't help the team but I think you might be overstating his versatility.
What really frustrates me is the Othella Limbo. Is he gonna play this season or is he just going to rot away (again?). I think we can all agree that we'd like to hear something on the situation.
P.S. Post 2000! wooo! Movin up to Crash :biggrin:
2000 post rep it on up . Congrats and thanks for all the good post. We down two 12 people who can play . I t should be somthing in the NBA bargining agreement to alow us to pick up two more players even if its for the Nba mimnum.
Batista, is out thair he could be a big help
It's got to be away to pick up another player . Just for this season. If its not a way the rules need to be changed.
if harrington is out and we can sign somebody, it will probably end up being jawad williams or eddie manuel to keep the fans lol
