Flip Saunders said yesterday (07/13) that “there is a ‘realistic’ possibility that the team could sign summer league participant Josh Heytvelt…Stay tuned.”

I think there is no limit for newly drafted player in that year, so you can have 3 of your current players on the team plus as many newly drafted players as you want…that’s how i would interprete the article…

Maybe the limit is 5 including draft picks?

Not sure how much more speculation we need on this topic!!

As to diamond in the rough — I am sure Aminu and Heytvelt will show something, but I want

obviously I understand where you are coming from, I jsut find it interesting that he would say two different things in the same article.

With the comment about the Thunder disproving the quote from Kerr.

Gabbo, thats interesting cause earlier in the article it says this

“Presti’s Thunder recently completed play in the Orlando summer league. Their roster featured first-round draft picks James Harden and B.J. Mullens, as well as second-year pros Russell Westbrook, Kyle Weaver and D.J. White.”

Never a good thing to contradict yourself in your own article .

millie/steve, I read a little more on buy-outs. The buy-out is prorated over the remaining years of the contract.

Thomas was signed to a multi-year deal. Presumably, we’ll only have Oberto for one year. He’s 34 years old. I hope he has something left.

SportzWiz, I got the idea that three per team was the limit from the following:

http://probasketballnews.com/story/?storyid=637

“Phoenix GM Steve Kerr said the Suns use a similar approach, as the summer squad is put together by assistant GM David Griffin.

‘It’s always a combination of using three of our current players (that’s the limit), all of our draft picks (this year that number is two) and then a number of young free agents who we like who can complement our core group of five or six roster and draft pick-types,” Kerr said. “Also, you usually have a guy or two on your roster that are simply favors for agents, so that ‘their guy’ can be in the summer league.’”
