Sean Marks gone?

[andalusian]

PTBNL = Marks.

PTBNL = Marks.

Yup. Just went from B- to a solid, solid B trade!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

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

That rules out Canzano for having any inside sources whatsoever... since he didn't even know who was in the Wallace trade.

Sean Marks is gone in trade too.

Just saw it on Twitter. Who do we have at center now??

I heard Gerald Wallace is coming to Portland

Re: Sean Marks is gone in trade too.

Camby might be back by tomorrow. If not, time for a quick D-League contract.

Re: Sean Marks is gone in trade too.

Camby takes Przy's spot, Wallace takes Cunningham's PF spot when LMA moves to center.

Then, in 30 days, Przy is back to take Marks' spot.

Celtics give Chris Johnson 10 day contract:

That leaves the Celtics frontcourt awfully thin for their game tonight against the Denver Nuggets, leading the team to call-up Chris Johnson from the NBA Development League's Dakota Wizards for a 10-day contract. Johnson, a 6-foot-11, 210-pound center out of LSU, is averaging 16.9 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.8 blocks this season after previously being a part of the Celtics during this past training camp.

We lost Sean Marks?!?!?!

Season over.

Re: Sean Marks is gone in trade too.

We are very thin at C. Cunningham was playing a lot of C for us. If Camby gets hurt, what do we do? Start Aldridge at C and play him and Wallace for 48 minutes?

 

[Darkwebs]

Re: Sean Marks is gone in trade too.

I wonder which big man, if any, are the Blazers looking at with their now open roster spots. We might have to take a look into the D-League. But Chris Johnson has been snatched by the Celtics, or so I've read. Who else is there?

 

[KingSpeed]

Re: Sean Marks is gone in trade too.

I don't know but we better find someone.

Re: Sean Marks is gone in trade too.

He wasn't. As mook has pointed out, he always had Aldridge, Camby or Przybilla on the court with him. When Aldridge was on the court with him, Aldridge was the de facto center. Nothing has changed, as Wallace will simply take over that role, of playing power forward alongside center Aldridge. Wallace is just much better than Cunningham.

They are thin at center, but not due to losing Cunningham. They need a big body in case of injury, but if everyone's healthy and not in foul trouble, a three player front court rotation of Wallace, Aldridge and Camby should take care of all the PF/C minutes.

If Camby gets hurt, we have no center. Wallace and Aldridge have to play 48 minutes at PF and C. If Aldridge gets in foul trouble, Wallace is playing C and Batum is PF with no other options. We MUST sign another player.

Re: Sean Marks is gone in trade too.

Marks is a great guy, but not an NBA caliber player. Glad he's no longer on our roster.

But we traded all three backup Cs for a SF/PF. I'm glad we made the trade but it means we MUST sign another center by tomorrow. Will that guy be better than Marks?

Re: Sean Marks is gone in trade too.

HCP at Center

 

[BBert]

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?

LaMarcus will be playing both Center and Power Forward, for a total of 96 minutes.

We need to sign a big, pronto.

STOP. CALLING. CUNNINGHAM. CENTER.

We traded two backup centers, and Marks barely counts as a center either. We do need another big. You don't have to keep calling Cunningham a center. We get it.
