From the trading deadline through the end of the regular season, vested veterans are subject to the waiver process.The official basketball rules books (196-pages) are filled with tons of complicated words and scenarios you’ll rarely face during local games.

That means if a team decides to release a vested veteran, the league considers his contract to be terminated immediately and he is free to negotiate and sign with any other club. Once the waiver period starts each year through the trading deadline, a vested veteran - a player who has acquired four years of pension credit - is not subject to the waiver system if the club decides to release him. If a player passes through waivers unclaimed, he becomes a free agent. For example, a team with fewer wins will be awarded a player off waivers ahead of a team with a better record. From the beginning of the fourth regular season weekend through the Super Bowl, assignments are based on the inverse order of their win-loss record. From the first business day after the Super Bowl until the day after the third regular season week, assignments are based on a claiming order that is the same as the order in which clubs selected in that year’s Draft. Clubs are assigned players on a priority basis. Once a club waives a player, the 31 other clubs either file a claim to obtain him or they waive their chance to do so (thus the origin of the term “waiver”). Except in rare incidents, the waiver period lasts 24 hours and all waivers are categorized as “no recall” and “no withdrawal,” which means once a club waives a player, it cannot take the player back or change the player’s status. The waiver period runs from the first business day after the Super Bowl through the end of the NFL’s regular season. The waiver system allows player contracts or, in certain cases, a club’s NFL rights to a player to be made available by one club to the other clubs in the league. The NFL and NFL Players Association Collective Bargaining Agreement sets forth specific rules for how NFL clubs can claim and release players using the NFL’s waiver system.
