Mavs may flush out camp roster with Cardinal, others

Training camp opens in a week and the Mavericks’
intentions are to start with only 13 guaranteed contracts.
 
A few others will be brought in, probably including 6-8
Brian Cardinal, who won’t be guaranteed any money or a roster spot. He’ll
have to earn his way onto the regular-season roster and if he doesn’t,
there’s no risk on the Mavericks’ part.
 
There was a time before Cardinal signed a six-year deal with
Memphis in 2004 that the Mavericks had an interest in bringing him in. But the
price at the time was too high.
 
Cardinal is a good shooter for his size, which might give
him a fighting chance to earn a roster spot as Dirk Nowitzki’s backup.
 
Expect other non-guaranteed players to show up. Former
Garland standout Ike Diogu is looking for a job and is on the Mavericks’
radar.

I'm not sure that 'flush' means what you think it means. On the other hand, given the talent of the names discussed, 'flush' is not completely inappropriate.
