I don't think that's how it works but okay.

They can still be signed and be eligble for the playoffs. They had to be off of a roster by midnight last night. However, players from China, or any other non-NBA teams, Ray Allen included can still be signed for the playoffs.

That makes more sense, not surprisingly, Chris Webber had it all messed up yesterday.

Yeah, thats what I was referring to when I mentioned Perk and Robinson and vets being bought out before the deadline. I didn't know the Sixers and McGee beat the deadline. There is a list on a site that of course I can't find right now, of American players whose seasons are done in foreign countries. I saw this list a few weeks ago so it has added a lot more names to it. Not a lot of rotation players but could be serviceable back-ups if they were forced to play due to injury or players sucking. (IE: Cavs at PG).

Agree. Cavs have to at least look at some of these PG's and see if anyone would be an upgrade.

Cavs should look at cutting least Harris or even Delly for a PG that doesn't suck total ass. Delly can knock down a 3, that's about the only thing that ass hat does well.

Not to pollute this thread with cavs talk. But wouldn't mind dropping harris, and keeping Delly as the 3rd emergency PG.

Crazy by Westbrook, only gonna make it harder when KD gets back though. Can't win a title playing your turn, my turn.

I don't follow soccer enough, but I'm sure some would say Messi and Ronaldo would be up there.

In the NBA it's probably LBJ, Brow, Russ, KD, and that's about it.

Brow and Durant higher on the all-around better player list.....but not more exciting to watch.

I don't understand why Noah is not out there in this situation.
