former @pdxtrailblazers big man chris johnson claimed off waivers by the new orleans hornets: http://t.co/20UMSCdM

Good for him!

 

[Mediocre Man]

That's awesome. Still have no idea why they waived him over Okur, who can't play.

 

[Reep]

Maybe because he broke Williams? I don't really get it either. Seems like a good guy to have around.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Good for CJ!

I think he could be a good role player for a team if he starts getting some decent PT.

 

[HailBlazers]

Great to Hear, CJ's a good dude.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Great for CJ! He is an awesome, down to earth guy.

No clue.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

No clue.

If he was claimed off waivers, doesn't that mean he retains his existing contract, the remainder to be paid by his new team? Maybe PA saved himself a few hundred Gs by waiving CJ instead of Okur.

Spite. CJ injured Email.

Just a guess, but wouldn't we have had to waive the guys already on the roster in order to make room for the extra guys coming back in the trades? I don't believe you can waive someone that's not yet on your roster, so I assume the trades couldn't get approved by the league office until we had made the necessary waives.

Maybe? I could swear I remember hearing about trades being made and guys instantly waived

I think this could be part of it. This was a perfect opportunity for E Will to get some serious burn. Instead, he's trying to recover from a dislocated shoulder.

Yeah, there is that.

You need to turn on your sarcasm-o-meter

Monty Williams will have him over-achieving in no time.
