    Default Al Thornton Waived...

    Just what we need if one of the contenders didn't already offer him a contract. Chris Broussard just said on twitter that he already has a destination awaiting just finishing up his buyout. What do you think?

    I think keeping Sean Marks and signing a combo guard would be better for the team then another forward.

    Yeah, but we need wing help period and he is a 3.

    I guess.
    Maybe we could start him/put Jack back at the 2? I think Thornton has a lot of potential if we are going that route...

    All in. Would be good as an immediate contributor off the bench and an impact player for the future. Also gives us a backup at SF.

    It's being reported now he's headed to Golden State, or at least that's what he's already got worked out, but I looked up the standing and we're exactly one spot below GS in the league standings. Another report said he had to clear waivers before he "could just switch uniforms Wednesday." So, if we put in a claim, would we get him?

    Ok Spears form Yahoo just said he's "expected to clear waivers Thursday." If we don't put a claim in on him, it's clear MJ is sabotaging the season (if it wasn't already).

    But I'm saying, what if we put a claim in on him? We're below GS in the league standings, so we would just take over his contract. Correct? If we put in a claim he never has a chance to sign with them right?

    If Al is on waiver and if the Bobcats does inquire about him, we should be able to grab him ahead of GS just base on our record.
