We have to cut two to get to 15.

Cuts:
Phil Pressey
Omari Johnson

We carry 13 active (or has this changed?).

Inactives:
Cliff Alexander
Luis Montero

We will probably go 10 deep on the rotation.

Out of the Rotation:
Chris Kaman
Pat Connaughton
Tim Frazier

Any disagreements?

Slightly... or maybe just more of an asterisk, but when foul trouble comes, and it will.. then Kaman and Connaughton will get burn.
 
I was actually tempted to put Henderson out of the rotating and put Frazier in but I can't see the coach going for that and CJ has proven to me that he can handle 12 mins a game at backup PG so most likely a moot point now.
 
I think Montero gets cut and Pressey makes the roster (for now).

I would love for Portland to find a BIG PG to start grooming. Absent of that, I see Pressey making it.

I disagree with this. Pressey doesn't have much of an upside and though Montero may be a bit more of a project, his upside is huge and he has PG handles Ive been told by Harry's Raincoat. :)
We already have Connaughton, CJ, Dame Frazier who all have PG or near PG skills. I don't think we need Pressey as well and I don't think he beats Frazier out. Frazier has more time with Dame and the system.

We have 15 on our roster even after cuts. They moved the active players from 12-13 because teams are required to have at least 13 people on the roster. We would have 2 inactive as we are over 13.

I deleted my post you quoted by accident.

I was wrong.

CBA FAQ
http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q79

Normally an NBA team can have a maximum of 15 players on its roster during a season (and up to 20 during the offseason). A team normally has 12 or 13 players on its Active List, who are eligible to play in games, and can have as few as 11 for up to two weeks at a time. Any remaining players must be on the team's Inactive List, and are ineligible to play in games.

sounds about right, although I think Kaman and Alexander will alternate on the inactive list.

If Monetero had any shot of making the roster, you would think he would at least get a little burn here & there.

There have been several comments made by the reporters (Quick, Columbian beat guy, etc) who have said Montero will likely be cut. Throw in Stott's comments about how challenging he has had it - I just don't think he makes it.

You can only play 13 guys max. We will have 15. Even if they kept Pressey he wouldn't play ever (unless major injuries hit) so why not keep the guy who might (key word, might) have a future on our team in the years ahead? I think POR has plans of sending Montero to the D-League.

I completely agree with your logic, just not your assessment. I just have a feeling that POR has enough evidence (from practice, etc) that Montero has NO shot.

POR needs to find a different reclamation project to invest in. I think Pressey hangs on to the roster spot until they find that project.
 
Pressey doesn't look bad. Played well last night.
 
Denny you ever consider letting us "cut or release" posters on here that are complete No Basketball Knowledge Having Ass Clowns? There'd only be about 25 of us left! #OneCanDream

We tried to trade you to a L*kers board, but they want too much extra from us to take you.
 
Wonder if the rookies on here know about our deal we have about me posting on S2?
 
the best reason to carry 14-15 is to have bodies for practice, d league, or long term injury.
 
Newbies, Denny pays me to post here.

I don't think Alexander will be on the innactive...probably Kaman

Look no further than one Luis Montero (after at least another year of seasoning)

Seeing how Montero hasn't been seeing any time in preseason I think its safe to say he can put 'inactive on his drivers license'. Cliff Alexander? I'm not so sure. I think Henderson will be the other inactive for a while, and here are some candidates I wouldn't be surprised to see take his place: Kaman will probably fill this role some nights. It will be interesting to see how Alexander fits in when he comes back which shouldn't be too much longer. Frazier might see some time on the inactive list as well.

I'm really not sure Connaughton will find himself out of the rotation. I kind of get that scrappy get after it vibe that Wes. I feel like Connaughton could make a name for himself as a Dellavadova type player who you hate to play against. Patty C is far more athletic than Delly is though, and probably a better shooter too. Gonna be interesting to see how his game develops.

Frazier will probably find himself out of the rotation unless Dame/CJ are in foul trouble. I suspect Kaman will probably play specialized minutes in certain situations. Probably in games where the score is close and we are having trouble getting anything going inside. Other than that I think you are right, for more games than not he will be out of the rotation.

Great assessment, outside of the aforementioned differences I think you are spot on!
