According to foreign media, the Warriors hope to sign with player Jeremy Lin before the layoff deadline at 11 pm local time today, but due to the weekend FIBA office holiday, this operation is difficult to proceed.
As of 11 p.m. local time this evening, the Warriors had not received Jeremy Lin’s clarification letter, so the Warriors’ plan to make Jeremy Lin play in the Warriors’ Development League team by signing first and then arbitrarily cannot proceed. In the end, the Warriors signed and drafted rookie Elijah Pemberton and waived him. Elijah Pemberton will play for the Warriors Development League team.
According to the current salary situation of the Warriors, if Jeremy Lin was not signed and waived before 11 pm local time today, but waited until tomorrow, the Warriors would have to pay a luxury tax of $74,925. And if he waits until Jeremy Lin is signed on Monday to lay off him, then the Warriors will need to pay a luxury tax of $127,650.
Foreign media said that the lineup issue is more important than the luxury tax issue. Before 11 pm local time today, the team can have up to 20 players, and now they can only have 15 players and 2 two-way contract players on their roster. If Jeremy Lin is signed and waived to gain his G League rights, it means that the Warriors must waived a player on the roster.
The Warriors understood Lin’s letter of clearance would be a hurdle and pushed to receive it through tonight. Golden State is now signing-and-waiving rookie Elijah Pemberton of Hofstra, sources said. Pemberton will play with Golden State’s affiliate, Santa Cruz. https://t.co/XPrfpcUgdP
