JULY 14: The Raptors have officially waived Hamilton, per the NBA’s official transactions log.
JULY 9: The Raptors will waive newly acquired center Justin Hamilton and stretch the remainder of his contract, Brian Windhorst of ESPN tweets.
Hamilton and his $3MM 2017/18 deal were acquired from the Nets in the trade that sent DeMarre Carroll to Brooklyn.
Per Bobby Marks of ESPN, the cap hit will be stretched into $1MM over each of the next three seasons. This, he adds, puts the Raptors $2.5MM below the luxury tax line.
I wonder if Melo would’ve been willing to waive his no trade clause for Toronto. Valanciunas, Carroll, and Toronto’s 2018 1st would’ve been enough for New York to accept and a lineup of Lowry-Powell-DeRozan-Melo-Ibaka is nice
Toronto would’ve never done that
You do know that Anthony has no-trade clause in his contract, right? He’s only willing to waive it to go to Cleveland or Houston.
First sentence of his comment pretty much shows that he is well aware of Melo having a no trade clause
He’s a Michigan fan…they can’t read
“I wonder if Melo would’ve been willing to waive his no trade clause for Toronto.” I addressed the ntc in my first sentence. I put the “I wonder” because I know the rumors are he’d only be willing to waive it for cle or hou
Could go to Charlotte they are looking for another big
Can a team stretch as many players contracts as they’d like? Or is there some sort of limit? I know the amnesty provision was a once in a CBA thing, but is stretching contracts also limited?
No limit. A team could theoretically stretch every player on its roster if it wanted to.
Thank you Luke you are a legend!!
