Sean Marks gone?

[OneSport3]

Batum just tweeted that Marks is gone.

 

[PapaG]

Hmm ... seems that would add credence to the theory that Charlotte will buy out Przy, and then Portland would re-sign Przy after the 30-day waiting period.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Marks for Brooks?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Martin for Ford?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Oh, I wonder if Marks went back to NZ to tend to family matters after the big quake...
...or maybe they slapped a sticker on his shirt saying "Hi My Name Is JOEL PRZYBILLA" and are hoping MJ thinks all white guys look alike or something.

 

[e_blazer]

Did anybody ever hear how the x-rays on his hand came out?

 

[BlazerBeliever]

Martin for Ford?

???

Very well done!

Post of the year!!! Repped! (I messed up my message though)

 

[The Professional Fan]

Marks was part of the Wallace deal according to someone I know. No linkage.

Canzano says that Marks being waived clears spot intended for Ford.

 

[MickZagger]

Its true. He's leaving to make room for Ford.

Wouldn't we already have a spot for Ford by trading Cunningham and Pryz for Wallace? I think Marks was just part of the deal to make the money work.

 

[andalusian]

He is waived to make a spot for the return of Rasheed and the emergence of the Wallace brothers.

 

[e_blazer]

Since we traded two players away for Wallace, why do we need to waive Marks to make room for Ford?

 

[Blaze01]

Not necessary to clear room for Ford though....

Cunningham & Przybilla clears 2 spots for Wallace (1 spot)

Why waive Marks then?

Something else is going on....

 

[alex42083]

So is this the Sean Marks appreciation thread?

We need another big now. Who is going to be Camby's back up?

 

[hasoos]

I for one will be celebrating.

 

[B-Roy]

LAMONSTERRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[Minstrel]

Aldridge.

Foul trouble or injuries will be a problem, but I'd like to see a three man front court rotation of Camby, Aldridge and Wallace. The team does need to pick up a big body for those foul trouble nights or in case of injury, but when things are going okay, I hope he remains planted on the bench.

Bring back Chris Johnson...

I suppose. I'd still like another big for foul trouble purposes and such. Especially with Camby coming back from a knee-injury and losing Dante who could get away with playing spot minutes at C.

So Nate won't be tempted to play him until Przy can be re-signed.

 

[e_blazer]

Jeez, how many minutes is LA going to have to play on Friday if Camby doesn't play and Wallace hasn't cleared his physical yet?

 

[Minstrel]

That's what I said, yo.

Also, mook made a good point elsewhere: Cunningham never really played center. He was always on the court with either Camby or Aldridge, who took the bigger player defensively. Regardless of what Cunningham was labeled, he wasn't truly playing center, he was playing power forward and Aldridge was making a de facto shift to center. Wallace will simply take Cunningham's place, except he's much better at it.

 

[PapaG]

Jeez, how many minutes is LA going to have to play on Friday if Camby doesn't play and Wallace hasn't cleared his physical yet?

Hopefully Camby will stop what appears to be his pouting and will now go all in to help this team win some games. If he's not healthy, though, the Blazers are in a tough spot. Maybe Camby's staying here will be the placebo that makes him suddenly feel great.

Ken Berger of CBSSports.com confirms that Marks was traded to the Bobcats.

I thought the numbers did not quite match up with just Dante'. This makes more sense.
