These are revocable waivers. Last week the Halos put Tyler Anderson on waivers and nobody claimed him so he was kept. However if they get rid of all of these players it will knock them under the CBT tax crap, um cap.
One thing to remember is these players do not gave to be released if they clear waivers. They can remain with the team if the team wants them to. Except Donaldson. I think he went on release waivers.
Yes and it's gotten worse over time. It's about a minute and a half behind social media and also radio. Been like this all season. Last year it was close to a minute, and before that 45 seconds. Before 2020 it was normally 10-15 seconds.
They want it to be at a time where players don't get pulled mid-game. Not sure why it's a day later but it has been later the last few years as well.
Oh, and the deadline is too early. Should be mid-August.
