In....well this is a shocker.

For those who are inevitably going to ask: NO, he cannot join a team for the playoffs.

[Patrick Chewing]

Can another team pick him up?

He is ineligible for the playoffs. Just answered my own question.

Can another team pick him up?

Yes but looks like he won't be eligible to be on a playoff roster.

[Bandito]

How...Why...could somebody explain to me why would they do this?

[HomieWeMajor]

A playoff team should pick up Captain Jack for him to make a big shot in the playoffs

Why woould they do this? SMH

So is it official he's an asshole?

[Levity]

his daughter passed away earlier in the season. I wonder if this has anything to do with it, or rather, did something internal happen between him and the team.
