Magnum Rolle of the Indiana Pacers was cut yesterday, and I got myself quite happy with the thought of this young big man donning a Mad Ants jersey for us this fall. However, there is a little known codicil in the Faber Constitution that give the D-League powers to smash my dreams. The deadline for players to be cut and eligible for the new allocation rule was last Thursday. Because Magnum was cut yesterday, if he signs in the D-League, he will go straight to the draft. Here are some other players cut and the team that lost their rights in parentheses:
- Marqus Blakely -- LA Clippers (Bakersfield)
- Brian Skinner -- Milwaukee Bucks (Mad Ants)
- Jeff Pendergraph -- Portland (Idaho)
- Da'sean Butler -- Miami (Sioux Falls)
- Patrick Beverley -- Miami (Sioux Falls)
- Patrick Ewing, Jr. -- Knicks (Reno -- still probably have his rights as a returning player)
So, some pretty good talent left for the draft if they sign. Tough to lose the opportunity to bring a young big like Rolle to Fort Wayne, but that is the breaks.
