Nice guy, would be wiser to simply take a flier on a prospect.
Wonder if anyone will pick him up?

Now at 14, so yes, a roster spot is available.
Doesn't make a lot of sense to simply cut him unless 1) we have an intended use for the roster spot, or 2) another team actually wants to pick him up and use him.

DMC coming? 
Right before we acquired him he went off in the 4th quarter at the game I attended in Portland. So I was actually a little bit excited to have him here.
Oh well, good luck on your next stop.

He can sign with a Playoff team if released by March 1. He was not getting minutes so Vlade did him a favor.

He's a vet player on his last legs (his vet leadership did wonders to put the Kings in the position they are in now but his inability to contribute on the court did not) if he wants to latch onto a top contender to get a ring before his playing days are over, I say we give him that opportunity and then let him rejoin the team as an assistant coach in the offseason

Step 1: Draft and develop a star playerDMC coming?
Step 2: Balk at signing him to a Supermax Contract
Step 3: Trade him for prospects and a pick.
Step 4: Acquire good players while he's gone.
Step 5: Have him suffer multiple debilitating injuries that crater his value.
Step 6: Have him get cut by the Lakers
Step 7: Sign him to a minimum contract.
Step 8: Profit.

... that allows Tolliver to pursue opportunities with playoff contenders.
So this means we are not contending for the playoffs?

It means he could sign with the Rockets and immediately be their third big

Ehh, Tolliver might get picked up by someone else as an end of bench guy. He's always been known to be a great teammate. Really though, that gas tank is empty. He should just hang em up and maybe go into coaching or something.

He took some of the ugliest shots I’ve seen this entire season in his short stint here.

Oh so the Griz waived Jordon Bell to sign Tolliver.
From a small rotational guy on an NBA champ to waived on his 4th team after 2 years.

amazing how playing on the greatest team in recent league history can make you look like a quality player while playing with non-great teams can make you look like a chump

Went from Draymond Greens protege to the waiver wire.........NBA can be hard.

So, Tolliver shot 4 of 5 from 3 last night for Memphis.
It would be funny (in a painful way), he'd be their shot in the arm like Bazemore was ours, and helps keep Memphis ahead of the Kings in the play-off race.
But at least he got a chance to go to a play-off contender...

Lol, I remember my Warriors fan cousin talking him up as absolutely the next Draymond Green. Of course every single player that ever wears a Warriors uniform is excellent. Willie was amazing. Criss is even better. Bender’s potential is through the roof!!!
