Hill and Sykes waived

[Rastapopoulos]

According to Freeman. Hill didn't last long as a Blazer (the second time), did he? So... trade coming soon?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

...the return of S-BO is imminent....

 

[mook]

Maybe Przybilla is coming along better than we thought?

Anthony Randolph hasn't exactly fit in like a glove in dantoni's system, maybe we can poach him by dangling Rudy and one of overseas stash guys?

I would think it would be for a guy who could play center if we're already cutting Hill.

S-BO just got waived!

Turiaf then?

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Dampier sign any day. I know he wants a guaranteed 2nd year though.

This strikes me as just the usual roster cleanup at the end of preseason. I'm not holding onto my shorts.

Who do you think they'll waive? Pendergraph?

I am still puzzled why he has not signed with anyone. Seemed like a few teams were interested. You said two years.......at how much per year? Is he a head case? What is he waiting for?

I mean just look at those stats, those are Greg Oden-like numbers

I think it's cute how all of you think our front office is capable of making a trade

Do you have some reason to believe the Blazers recently have been less active in player movement than the Blazers have historically, or compared to other NBA teams?

I look at the team and see Camby, Matthews, Babbit, Johnson, and Williams all added in the last six months. On a 15 man roster, that's basically 1/3 of the team. That to me seems a pretty significant amount of movement for a team that had a freakish injury season yet still won 50 games last year.

Obviously, we'd all like to see an upgrade at PG, but there are really only about 12-15 guys in the NBA who are better than Miller at the PG position (or are likely to become so). They are pretty prized commodities. So in my book it's understandable we haven't succeeded there yet.

I'd like to see them address the backup 4/5, but it's not like this was an issue we'd known about for 6 months. Pendergraph was supposed to be the guy until the freak injury, and there has been a lot of uncertainty until very recently whether Przybilla or Oden might be ready for opening night.

I'm not a patient fan in general. I was never in the Pritchard "let it bake" crowd. But I look at the current circumstances, and it puzzles me that someone would declare that this team is incapable of player movement.

That's right! Cho is so in love with his players!

I could see Babbitt slide over to the C position but he just needs to add like 20 lbs more muscle! Pendy is the same height but weighs 240.

Please tell me this is sarcasm that flew over my head. If not that's probably the stupidest idea I've ever heard.
