Class of '66 Old Fart Posted January 26, 2017 Author Posted January 26, 2017 It lasted all of 1 day. Troy sent back to the Iowa Energy. Such is the life of an undrafted free agent. Quote

Crimson and Cream Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 After how well he played for the Grizz I'd say easily, maybe OKC still has interest. Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted January 30, 2017 Author Posted January 30, 2017 Like Yogi, he's now free to go with any other team that may have interest. Look for him to get signed to some 10-day contracts filling in for injured players. hsrtxp 1 Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted January 30, 2017 Author Posted January 30, 2017 Troy Williams (MEM) is eligible to be claimed by all 29 teams. Williams is owed a projected $226k if claimed (cap hit $543k). Williams $1.3m contract for 17-18 is non-guaranteed but has trigger dates starting July 1 for partial protection.

I have absolutely no understanding of the NBA's salary structure. Hopefully, there's another btb member out there that can answer your question. Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 1, 2017 Author Posted February 1, 2017 Michael Wallace @MyMikeCheck 3m3 minutes ago More Hearing Troy Williams cleared waivers and is expected to continue to play with Grizzlies' D-League affiliate in Iowa to remain in system. This is what Yogi did after he was waived by the Brooklyn Nets. He stayed with the LI Nets in D-League until the Mavs came calling. Quote

I think I heard that somewhere. Similar to Yogi ... Mavs gave him a 10 day contract and that is all they were in for. Quote

Yeah that's correct if you're willing to risk another team not snatching him up you can wait and it's easier. He's now cleared and is in the D-League so if that was the plan we should be hearing something anytime now. Quote
