Re: Ime is Back!

Kewl. Just as long as he doesn't take away from Juwan's playing time!;)
 
Re: Ime is Back!

That makes 15 right?
 
Blazers sign IME!!!!!!!!!!

Hell yeah!
 
Re: Blazers sign IME!!!!!!!!!!

Non guarenteed! Probably just for training camp!
 
Re: Blazers sign IME!!!!!!!!!!

I like it!
 
Re: Blazers sign IME!!!!!!!!!!

NO WAY!
 
Re: Ime is Back!

Imma let you join our team, Ime, but I first just gotta say that Juwan Howard is our 15th best player.
 
Re: Blazers sign IME!!!!!!!!!!

ok.. we now know who takes randolphs cheerleader spot
 
Re: Blazers sign IME!!!!!!!!!!

Meh... its non-guaranteed Pritch signed him since hes always at the PF chatting it up with the guys. This signing is good for team morale and might be KP trying to show a softer side of himself by basically paying the local guy while he works out with the team. He will be out by the end of the preseason, don't see how he will find PT if we cant find Rudy/Bayless enough PT.

Spot on.
 
Re: Blazers sign IME!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure your right. Got a little excited cause he's from the neighborhood and I grew up playing ball with him. He is genuinely a great guy too. Nevermind, reality has set in.
 
Re: Blazers sign IME!!!!!!!!!!

I love Ime. He was a real bright spot the year he was here. One of a couple feel-good stories. I hope the signing allows him to showcase his skills (once again) so he can find a permanent spot somewhere.
 
Re: Blazers sign IME!!!!!!!!!!

He's not going to be here to compete for PT. He's here to be a veteran leader and instill some toughness in the team. A great move, similiar to the Howard signing. I bet he makes the team instead of Collins.
 
Re: Blazers sign IME!!!!!!!!!!

Udoka is the perfect guy to bring to the team as the last roster spot closes. Very happy!
 
Re: Blazers sign IME!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, I'm kind of surprised. Ime is still young and he's can shoot the ball. I wonder if this maybe means we're gearing up to get rid of Outlaw?

Kind of an interesting idea. I doubt he's the official replacement for Outlaw in some impending trade. But if we had to trade Outlaw you could plug Ime in there for a few minutes and it wouldn't be the end of the world.

Hopefully he can at least come in and give Batum and Webster a few pointers on defense.
 
Re: Blazers sign IME!!!!!!!!!!

Ime must think he has a shot to make the team otherwise wouldnt he be in another training camp?
 
Re: Blazers sign IME!!!!!!!!!!

Looks to me like Travis' days could be numbered :wink:

Well, OK maybe not quite, but if Ime actually makes the cut, this team is going to be so overloaded with wings they could probably give Fire on the Mountain a run for their money -- something will have to give somewhere -- One wonders that with the addition of Juwan Howard, the supposed surge from Dante Cunningham and Pendergraph eventually getting healthy (maybe?) Travis entering a contract year almost seems to beg for a pre-season or mid-season trade.

It should be an interesting training camp.
 
travis gets traded at deadline.... or sooner.

thats my prediction.

some crappy team with a solid sf will trade for him cause hes a free agent off the books next summer.
 
Guess Denver was interested in Ime also. Hope he makes the cut!
 
I love Ime Udoka. He does a lot of good things and doesn't make mistakes on the court. He would be another good locker room leader. The problem with him is he is a small forward. Probably the last thing we need on this roster. I wish now, we could take his body and stretch it out and add thirty pounds to it.
 
I've always been an Ime fan. He, along with Juwan Howard, is a great use of our 14th/15th roster spots. They are the kind of guys who play the game the right way, won't bitch about PT or touches, but will be ready to fill in if someone goes down with an injury. They won't put up big stats, but they also won't make costly mistakes. They will teach the youngsters a lot in practice and will keep them focused, but loose on the bench and in the locker room. Ime has always been undersized and under athletic for his position - yet he manages to play good defense by using good positioning and knowing his opponents tendancies - something he can teach Batum and Webster.

I believe the contract is non-guaranteed. So, we can always cut him if someone better becomes available. I also like the fact that signing him keeps him from getting picked up by Denver. Denver's bench is pretty weak this year compared to last, and they could definitely use Ime. He also gained valuable post season experience playing for the Spurs. By adding Miller, Howard and Ime, we know have guys who have played with, and against the best in the league. They aren't going to be intimidated or star struck in the play-offs. The examples they set will help our young guys adjust to the intensity and spectacle of the NBA post season.
