A couple of days ago the Brooklyn Nets and Thomas Robinson verbally agreed on a contract after Thomas Robinson passes the waivers that he will sign with them. Now the Philadelphia 76ers have claimed Thomas Robinson off the waivers which completely ruins everything Robinson had in mind.
According to Adrian Wojnarowksi of Yahoo!:
Philadelphia is likely to place a claim on Thomas Robinson and secure him via waivers, league sources tell Yahoo Sports. Deadline's 5 PM ET.

If Robinson goes unclaimed, he plans to sign a 10-day deal with Brooklyn.

Sixers need to reach 90 percent of cap before season's end. Robinson's salary gets it there. If not, shortfall divided among rest of roster.

Well Thomas Robinson must be angry. He went from hopefully being on a team that will probably end up in the playoffs, to the bottom of the Eastern Conference with the Philadelphia 76ers. One thing is for sure, he will definitely be able to get the minutes and prove himself as a post player and energy player in philly.
