Quote: | Moiso was waived solely to avoid giving him a guaranteed contract. For those who don't know, any NBA player with a non-guaranteed contract must me cut or given a guarantee by early January. If the player is cut, the player may be brought back on a shorter (10-day deal). An interesting side note is that back in the late 1980s, the deadline for this decision was actually on December 24 or 25 (I don't quite remember which). This led to a lot of unhappy Christmas cuts for some fringe players (the one I remember in particular was Granville Waiters in 1987-88 ). The NBA decided, correctly, that the date should be pushed back to let the fringers survive the holidays. |
