In some ways those low priced partially guaranteed contracts hurt you. You are still on the hook for part of that contract, and then you have to pick up another contract to fill out the roster. A few hundred grand here and a few there, and you might as well have held onto a decent NBA player because you aren't saving any real money.
Hopefully Hammond has someone else in mind to fill out the roster.

We won't need to replace Allen/Weems with anyone.
Redd, Bogut, Gadz, Amir Johnson, Kurt Thomas, Bell, Alexander, Elson, Mbah A Moute, Jennings, Meeks, Ersan, Sessions.
There's 13 players right there. Minimum roster requirements met. I prefer if the Bucks don't carry more than 13 players anyway. If they want more than 13 players, Trade Ridnour for two players who combined make less than he does.

Now it looks like we can and will match on the surface. We already knew it was possible to match in reality, but perception is important in this situation also.
Plus, he acquired the space in the form of an unguaranteed deal, so he could always sell to the public that they liked Weems too much, to justify waiving him and clearing the space to re-sign Sessions. Weems isn't a bad player, nice to have a swingman with actual size. GAD won't allow those rationalizations though.
Correct. I'd waive him as soon as the ink is dry on this trade

Denver would use part of one of it's TPEs.
Probably part of the Camby TPE, since it expires on November 3rd.
ESPN's trade machine doesn't factor that in?
RealGM's trade checker does. Try trading Dan Gadzuric for Sonny Weems. It will congratulate you on a successful scenario

Helluva trade by Hammond.
Why would anyone post a fake trade about taking Malik Allen of all people.. sounds legit to me.
Phase Two of Project Mayhem?

You are mistaken
I wasn't going to watch the video, because I would have felt wrong watching a video someone filmed of her through a peephole she didn't know about... but once I found out that the video made it really seem that she at least knew someone was watching her, if not recording her. That changes things

Are you trying to trick us into thinking you have a bonus minute?

Completely agree

Perhaps we had a documentary film crew following them around last year, and if Jennings just watches those videos, it will be sufficient for his culture to change as well

It would be very unfortunate if this trade did not end up occurring.
But, as a consolation, without this rumor, I would not have watched that Erin Andrews video tonight.
