If I'm not mistaken, I think Taxi Squad guys have to either clear waivers or be waiver exempt.

I could be very wrong, I'm like 50/50 on that, but considering they carry "buried" cap hits, I imagine that would be the case. No way TBL would waive Coleman. I think this could still work though - maybe instead of Coleman and Rutta, they assign Paquette and Coburn to the TS. Not sure if that would work with the cap, but I also don't see Cirelli getting that much, so I think it would fit.

They do have to clear waivers. Again, as I said in my description, it doesn't have to be those two guys, just any two guys that each have a cap hit in excess of $1.075M.

I hope not what cheesey way out. Sadly they probably could, but I do think they should shed one contract for flexibility. Now they can shed Killorn for a somewhat fair price, and they all good until next year. Johnson, Gourde with one less year, easier to trade. I’d say it’s lucky but well orchestrated TBay.
