Popular Post ShooterSays Posted August 16, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Thought Vit had flashes in Summer League...at least enough to secure a 3rd string role. All the best to him moving forward! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is releasing him now gives him a chance to catch on to another team sooner than being a camp cut. He has been showing well in FIBA warmups. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecampster Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Waiving VIT creates space under the 2nd LT line. Renouncing Trent Forrest would clear up another 1.8 million (stay with me here). The space created in trading both would leave us a near 24 million under the super apron. Almost exactly the amount available in the JC trade exception. I don't think they'd use it here but I do think they'd potentially use it at the trade deadline if we are competing. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally, the next step is to look up players (or combination) that equal that amount on teams that may look to make significant changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Spud2nique Posted August 17, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Best to Vit. Unselfish slasher with feel. He should stick somewhere in some league where his teammates will most likely love playing with him. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why do this now and not closer to the deadline then? Is it a favor to Vit so he can get more playing time somewhere else? Was he not valuable enough to trade for some fake 2nds or even cash consideration (his next team is gonna LOVE him!)? If a move isn’t made before October, then this smells like cheap ownership to me regardless of it we use the TPE at deadline.

I think he was someone Landry decided was not going to be on the roster this year. If we already have 15 guaranteed contracts, that means he must be cut before the year starts unless we reduce our guaranteed contracts. If you know he won’t make the cut, let him go try to find a spot somewhere else. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case, then we must be going ALL IN on our youth development! Hope everybody does their homework this off-season and comes into camp meeting expectations. If not and we have a slow start (like we’ve had these past few years), we may be playing with fire and Trae rumors from the media. Yuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuck! @JayBirdHawk - Was there a timing issue on Vit where his contract would become guaranteed at some point this summer? If so, it may be that we aren’t out on trades but were confident that a consolidation trade wouldn’t be happening before then (or conversely just not confident that a consolidation trade would happen). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His guarantee day was January 9th, 2024. We have a full roster, so unless like you said a trade was happening to clear a spot for him, better to let him latch unto another team for camp than trying to find a team after camp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
