has legitimate money they can give to buyouts. They have the full tax mid level left, and a $5.7 M injury exception.

I thought they’d waive someone, and then use those two exceptions to land the best buyout players, since they’re likely the only team that could offer significantly more than the vet minimum and a legit chance at a ring.

As a fan of a potential contender, I’m glad they’re using a roster spot on Griffin. Makes it harder for another guy to envision himself in their rotation, a guy like Bjelica or Porter or Tucker.
