Gerald signing with the Bucks.
This is so awesome on so many levels. Hurts the Lakers standings and Rockets, Thunder and Golden State are going to be beaten down come the finals. All we gotta do is outlast Lebron, Love and a hobbled IT
Thomas Robinson signed with Khimki Moscow (Russian Team). Looks like that last roster spot will remain open during the season for flexibility.

We aren't tied to a player we sign and can always waive these veteran minimum players for either injury or performance. The Cavs did it last year with Bogut to Sanders to Tavares.

C's did pay Ben Bentil $250k a few years ago, essentially for the flexibility to waive him. However, waiving bigger contracts is a bad use of resources.
The Bulls and Dwyane Wade have reached agreement on a buyout, per sources.
Sources: Cleveland, San Antonio and Miami are leaders for Dwyane Wade post-Bulls buyout. OKC could become factor too.
