ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills have cut little-used veteran running back Tashard Choice.

Choice is a six-year NFL veteran, who was in his third season in Buffalo. He ranks third on the team with 126 yards rushing behind co-starters C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson. Choices best outing came in a 35-17 loss at New Orleans on Oct. 27, when he had seven carries for 35 yards. He also has four catches for 10 yards. http://www.officialraidersgear.com/Raiders-Bo-Jackson-Draft-Jersey/ .

After huddling up following their win in Fridays pre-season finale, Masai Ujiri and Dwane Casey opted to hang onto veteran centre Greg Stiemsma, making him the 15th and final player on their season-opening roster, and subsequently waive forward Jordan Hamilton and guard Will Cherry in the process. Their decision came down to the wire, announced just hours before Saturdays deadline to waive players on non-guaranteed deals. Ujiri and the coaching staff had raved about the performance of all three candidates throughout training camp and as of Friday evening they were still mulling over their options. Its coming down to the wire here, Ujiri had said before hosting the Knicks in Montreal. All of them bring us something, but we have to figure out which piece fits with our team now going forward to the start of the season. By the end of what turned out to be a gruelling camp for the 29-year-old, Stiemsma certainly looked the part of a Casey player. In just his second exhibition contest with the club, he took a hard fall, later failing a baseline concussion test that forced him to sit out the following game. Upon his return to the lineup, the hard working centre took a finger to his eye. Its a roller coaster, he said a few days later, sporting a bump on his head and a bloodshot right eye. It can be up and down, day-to-day but youve just got to try to stay consistent, control the things you can control, worry about those things and then just let the chips fall where they may. The 6-foot-11 Stiemsma was an early favourite in camp, given the teams lack of size off the bench. He spent last season in New Orleans, his third team in three NBA seasons, and now becomes Torontos second oldest player. His game isnt pretty - he committed 20 fouls and scored 15 points in 86 pre-season minutes - but his workmanlike approach and ability to defend the rim, a weakness of Torontos last year, seem to be a good fit in a situational role behind Jonas Valanciunas, Amir Johnson and Patrick Patterson, platooning with Tyler Hansbrough and Chuck Hayes.ddddddddddddThe Raptors hope 22-year-old rookie centre Lucas Nogueira can eventually make an impact as a defender in the low post - he showed some glimpses towards the end of camp - but he still has a ways to go and isnt expected to factor into Caseys rotation this season. Hence the need for Stiemsma. Its all about opportunities, Stiemsma said, hoping to take advantage of this one. This whole league, my whole career has been about opportunities. Ive just got to look at it like, whatever amount of minutes I have is an opportunity to succeed, to play well and to show what I can do. Of the three, Hamilton may have come in facing the steepest battle given the teams talent and depth on the wing, but he had an impressive pre-season, averaging 9.5 points on an efficient 59 per cent shooting. A Summer League standout in the off-season, Cherry was praised for the effort and energy he brought to practice but become expendable once Lou Williams - a combo guard - proved capable of playing the point in a pinch during a strong camp. The Raptors also have Kyle Lowry and Greivis Vasquez, one of the leagues best duos at the position. Its very difficult, Casey said of the decision. Its the hardest thing to do in sport is to bring a guy in and say, hey youre not good enough to make our team, or right nows not a good time. I dont think its ever [that] a guys not good enough. The timing may be bad for whoever it is. All three guys are NBA players that we brought in this year. Over the years, thats the hardest thing to do is bring a guy in and have that talk. I hate it because I know how hard guys work. I know how dreams are made and I know how dreams are broken. Im always an optimist. I love that guy at the end of the bench, whos worked and scrapped trying to make his career.
