Non-guaranteed contract == training camp fodder. You can't have players participating in training camp or preseason unless they are under contract. It's non-guaranteed so they are free to cut him before they need to get down to the 15-player limit.

Thanks for the info guys. Repped. Should have realized that. I just didnt remember signing a bunch of camp players.

Maybe Im not familiar with those kinds of contract. Why even sign a contract and why would it be a year?

Contracts have to be for 1 year min. Since it's non-guaranteed, Southerland gets a loooooong shot chance of making the team & Blazers get another player for camp. I believe Southerland also gets a "bonus" of $10K-$15K that he gets to keep since he will not be seeing the rest of the money.

I guess my confusion was if all players get this or just the ones that they think may have an outside shot as basically insurance

Sorry, I have fond memories of watching Zendon Hamilton play during the preseason. As my dear friend EnglandDan so eloquently put it, "Every time I saw Jamaal Magloire doing something right, it turned out to be Zendon Hamilton."

No worries I remember Zendon being pretty liked as well
 
Perhaps we're taking a look at him in the event a trade or injury and we want to sign him to a 10-day or 30-day contract. SA does such things.
 
Blazers have signed former Syracuse...

Queue MM in 4...3...2...1

Huh. The guy looked pretty solid in that workout vid.
Shit looked better than Crabbe did.. lol
 
Looks like the Blazers are trying to do what the Spurs have done, find D league talent. The kid looks good but if you've seen D league games, there's not much defense played. Seems he likes to drive the lane and finishes well at the rim as well as having a 3pt shot and talent for blocking shots. This could mean Crabbe is headed for the Stampede.

Nonguaranteed. Probably just a camp contract

When the Blazers owned their D-League team, Olshey stocked it with summer signings like this. Coby Karl, Richard Howell, and Dallas Lauderdale were roped into a D-League season by getting fooled that they had a chance to make the Blazers in preseason. Maybe that's a hidden reason now.
 
Even if Sutherland were to completely outplay the entire bench, he still wouldn't be kept on the roster. ~Koby Carl

What Karl is trying to say is the Blazers have young guys that need time because we don't know what we have in those players yet.
 
As long as Roy Toy approves of this move I'm okay with it.
