Things are happening! But "no decision has been made" says Nate and KP. More practice notes from Brian Smith of the Columbian including all the injured dudes were at the practice. http://columbian.com/article/20091021/BLOGS05/910219995/-1/BLAZERBANTER
Re: 15th Roster Spot (non) News Ime shooting... Collins whispering : There is a bottle of champagne in a room at the Marriot be there at 7. Nate: Did Jarron give you my message?
Re: 15th Roster Spot (non) News Quick just said on 95.5 that Mills got the 15th spot. Nate isn't happy with it, and it's coming from above Nate and above KP. Some higher-up -- Vulcan maybe? -- to save money?
Re: 15th Roster Spot (non) News Jason Quick has some breaking news for all of us. The 15th spot will go to Patty Mills. The right choice as far as Im concerned. Yet, he sounds pissed about it.
Re: 15th Roster Spot (non) News Quick says it's non basketball related decision, sounds like it's Vulcan pulling the strings on this one.
Re: 15th Roster Spot (non) News Collins is going to Phoenix, and Ime has 2-3 teams interested in him.
Re: 15th Roster Spot (non) News Well it obviously can't be basketball related as Mills hasn't even practiced yet.
Re: 15th Roster Spot (non) News I always wanted to see what Mills could do - but if this is not a basketball decision, it's ugly.
Re: 15th Roster Spot (non) News What's the point if he's never going to develop? I'd rather have Collin's and Udoka's veteran presence than Mills bench sitting.
Re: 15th Roster Spot (non) News Yeah, seems very unorthodox but a classy way when you're sending guys packing that you wanted to keep around.. or at least one of them.
Re: 15th Roster Spot (non) News Good..now if we can just get rid of a player so we don't have 3 players per position who want to play...
Re: 15th Roster Spot (non) News To be honest. If Greg or Joel were hurt Collins wouldn't save us. And Ime is burried.
Re: 15th Roster Spot (non) News Yeah, we just added three more rookies to the roster. Crazy. Seemed like more of a Vulcan move than basketball-related to save a couple hundred thousand.
Re: 15th Roster Spot (non) News How could a roster cut not be basketball related? It's not saving us money... So it has to be basketball related.
Re: 15th Roster Spot (non) News I disagree, I think this is a basketball decision. This decision tells me that the Blazers think they can win with 14 guys on their roster and that Patty Mills might be able to help them a year or two down the road. How many championship teams needed their 15th man?
Re: 15th Roster Spot (non) News I obviously don't know anymore than the rest of you. But I dont believe it's that. I think KP made the decision. He may not take credit for it. But I believe he did. I feel its the right one.
