You say that like it's an accomplishment.

I view that as a basic prerequisite.

The last two Blazers' GMs hired guys to do the CBA stuff for them. So no, it's not a basic prerequisite. It is what makes NO stand out as better than most, though.

I think it was coincidence because I remember Baldwin talking about how Portland offered him “more days,” so I assume he was promised maximum time on the roster before he signed.

I think he could be called up on Feb 22 or he can be called up on Feb 2. Feb 2 is more days, but still keeps us under the LT.

I assume NO knows his stuff.

Gerald Henderson? He had hip surgery and is said to be out for the year. He will be an unrestricted free agent in the off season.

@Scalma Had a post where he listed several options and in it under Gerald Henderson it said he was cleared to play.

Hendo for sure!

It’d be an upgrade, he can take Connaughtons role, and he already knows the system so there wouldn’t be much of an adjustment period. Plus he’s played with a lot of guys on the roster already.

Plus, we might be able to count on his concrete posterior to take out the opposition's floor leader in the playoffs. Worked once...
 
I've been a Gerald Henderson fan since he played here...he's the perfect wing we need..

GM's should ALWAYS have a "professional" on staff to know all the little details.

Regardless, knowing 95% the CBA stuff is a GM prerequisite for me....

The only thing I was able to find was that he was sitting out the year to make sure he is fully healed and ready for next year. Another article mentioned that he was just starting to do a little bit of running and movement and that was in December.
 
Henderson played well for us. A huge contributor to our surprising success the first year after LMA left.

He's also an example of a guy we rented and let go for nothing. Not because we were capped out, but because we wanted his salary for cap space.

I assume NO really knows the CBA. He's demonstrated it repeatedly over the past few seasons, if not longer. I don't think Baldwin's call up was any sort of coincidence. It might be an insurance policy if they don't sign someone else, though.

Joe Cronin is the brains when it comes to that. He knows his shit. Has this dry erase board in his office floor to ceiling with every player’s contract status written down. He’s all over it.
 
If he can play, Warriors, Cavs and Rockets will be all over it.
 
I can’t see anyone signing bosh right now. Maybe in the summer. Probably the same with Henderson.

My guess is we’ll go the ten day route, assuming Baldwin doesn’t have to be converted.
 
Well, Baldwin hasn’t been sent down to the g league (they don’t even have games until next week) so I guess we’ll be converting his contract. Then again, they could always send him down later. They could also sign him and still play around with ten day contracts, but what’s the point, those guys wouldn’t get in the rotation anyway.
 
How long are players on waivers? Isn’t it 48 hours? No one claimed Troy Williams??
 
I'm not sure how many "contending" teams really would take a chance on him considering the health risks involved. Everyone knows he can play. But I think Bosh is seriously not thinking this out. He's achieved everything, and it's a little selfish to his family to risk it. Sure! if there's NO risk to dying out there on the floor, then let'er rip. But his condition seems to not allow for that.
