Thanks to GaussianWavepacket over on reddit for this gem.

MCW's 2017-2018 NBA season is among the worst single-season campaigns in history. Let's look at his stats:

43 G, .314 FG%, .261% 3P%, .333 2p%, .413 TS%

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/7wuuew/michaelcarter_williams_is_chasing_history/

How the owner and gm can support a coach who truly believes MCW is an asset and allows Clifford to continuously give him minutes over a promising lottery pick is mind blowing. 

I would say maybe this had been one big undercover tank job but I don't think Clifford would hospitalize himself over it.

I said it when we signed him, I absolutely wanted no part of him.  Dude is trash.  I will never understand a) how he ever won rookie of the Year and b) how tf he managed to get a contract from us this off-season.  He should never be allowed to touch a basketball again in his life...  it's an insult to the game itself.

Meanwhile, Monk rots on the bench, because Clifford.  fug that guy.

I know you like to blame Howard, but dude literally said he will mentor Henangomez. It's clear Clifford is the problem. That and the bench.

Oh yeah, if I haven't been clear, i have stated repeatedly over the last few years that i think clifford is a huge problem, and I just can't figure out how his job goes unchallenged with how poorly he coaches.  So, we're on the same page there.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
