Is Payne a fit for us?

The San Antonio Spurs are waiving veteran guard Cam Payne, sources tell ESPN. Payne recently arrived in trade from Suns and now gets a chance to join a contending team that can give him a bigger role.
I was thinking the same thing. And asked myself, "Do you need 3 game IR list for players who are injured or sit out?" and I said, "no". but not sure how you manage the "gaming" of that rule
It seems like there will be a clear definition on who qualifies as a "star" for this purpose. No player "refuses to play" NBA games except for rare bizarre cases as these are always team decisions. I'd say the "tip and sit" is a complete non-factor as that won't occur in this setting. The only valid question I see here is who is injured and who is resting. Obv the system can be gamed here and there but if there is a pattern then address it then.
If two stars come down sick, does that mean one of them has to play or do they need some sort of Dr's note?
Like I said my idea was shitty - but yeah Dr notes would be a laugh. There are just holes in the policy that allows for it to be gamed many ways...
He played 0 regular season minutes this past season, and now he's "frontcourt depth" for a team that just finished 4th in the East. Gotta love it.
It’s so bad. I have no clue how he suits up this year. Should be a lifetime ban, but…
He's the very definition of a stat stuffer on a bad team. With his lack of defense, Ime would have buried him on the pine.
Former OU Bobcat, 3-time MAC 1st team... Gary Trent 2.0 in Athens.
How do I hate KPJ, let me count the ways…
I hated the deal when they signed him and was praying that they’d exile him to Brooklyn in exchange for a top 55 protected #2 because I hated rooting for him and preferred rooting to hate him. Here’s to hoping for a speedy expulsion and a long sentence.
No, it was around after Morey told the Rockets that he wanted to retire to spend more time with his family. Because he wanted a release to move on to a new team. know non-Rockets fans like to be fooled by Morey, but he’s extremely reliable,le when it comes to blaming everyone else for his mistakes.
In other news, I’m working on developing a cure for cancer so I can be a trillionaire and retire next year.
The story was that the team that took him would cut him immediately, so it's a paper transaction that would just be helping out the Rockets. Still a PR nightmare but can probably be navigated and the League might even help take the heat off.
Yeah, I get it, just seems insane that someone would agree to do it. Such a PR nightmare.
If he never suits up and it's part of the transaction to get him out of the league, I don't think it will be a big deal.
The AI generator went on to add: "We apologize for our error. Suggesting that a dead human does not have utility in many industrial processes was inaccurate and encourages wasteful attitudes to precious biosludge."
Yes, I don't know that a normal team would have given Joel Embiid so many chances to succeed after his repeated playoff failures.
...is that better or worse than turning the 3rd overall pick into Jahlil Okafor! Or turning the number one overall pick into an OKC 1st, a second and Jonathan Simmons.
