Premium Member sturt Posted July 30, 2018 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 As far as I can find unless my Google is clunky, Supes is right. How long does the waiver process take from start to end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecampster Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 The trade was completed on July 25th. I found nothing showing he was officially waived yet (which is probably some minor haggling over his buyout. remember the Hawks now control the keys on this). Another thing holding it up, is if there is a buyout here, Anthony does officially have to sign the buyout agreement as well as whoever the official on the Hawks is that signs those. So there might be some minor logistics to getting that signed. But Len can't be signed officially until the buyout is reached because the discount on the buyout would determine how Len is actually signed. But once the buyout / waive is official...here are the details from the CBA FAQ. Waivers NBA teams can release a player to the waiver wire, where he can stay for 48 hours (during the regular season). While he is on waivers, other teams may claim him, for his existing salary. If he is not claimed, he is said to have "cleared waivers", and is treated like any free agent, able to sign with any team (with the special restriction noted above for players who were traded and then waived). Players waived after March 1 are not eligible to be on a team's playoff roster.[67] The deadline was March 23 during the lockout-shortened 2011–12 season.[17] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazer Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 They’re negotiating how much he’ll have to pay for that Hawks jersey he’s requesting. $27mil, ‘Melo. It’ll cost you $27mil ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
