Adams

Hassan Adams and Darius Rice were waived on Saturday, and Noel Felix and Anthony Tolliver remains on the roster as practice players.

Adams, who played at Arizona, was the 54th selection in the 2006 NBA draft. He played in 61 games for the Nets, averaging 2.9 points and 1.3 rebounds.

Adams’ salary of $687,500 would become guaranteed if he remains on the roster past Sunday. Adams, who appeared in 61 games as a rookie last season, supplied nice energy off the bench. He averaged 2.9 PPG and shot 55.6 percent from the field.

Colangelo got point guard Jose Calderon locked up to a long-term contract and signed guards Roko Ukic and Hassan Adams to deals, all of which can be officially completed on July 9. The terms of Calderon’s deal have yet to be disclosed, but it’s believed he’ll make about $8 million per season to stay with the team. And with T.J. Ford now out of the picture, Calderon should be an excellent fantasy point guard next season.

Per team policy, financial details were not disclosed. Adams played in Italy last season where he averaged 20.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 3.0 steals in 12 games. Adams last played for the Nets in the NBA, but isn’t expected to have fantasy value this season.

We don’t think he has any fantasy value, but he might be worth keeping an eye on in your league once the season starts.

He had only scored more than three points in one game this season, so we’re guessing he just go hot. There’s no reason to pick him up, even in deep leagues.

This is a salary cap move for the Raptors, and for the Clippers Adams represents a player who’s at least healthy enough to play. It’s unlikely Adams will have any fantasy value in L.A., but then again, Mardy Collins has value in injury-plagued L.A. right now, so crazier things have happened.

He’s currently dealing with a foot injury that may not allow him to pass a physical, but it sounds like a deal will get done when he’s healthy. He’ll have no fantasy value this season.

The Arizona product was the 54th pick overall in the NBA draft and averaged 17.5 points and almost five rebounds last season. He is the only player in Pac-10 history to record 1,800 points, 700 rebounds and 200 steals in a career.
