Trail Blazers PR ‏@TrailBlazersPR The Trail Blazers have signed G Coby Karl, bringing the training camp roster to 19. He will wear No. 7

Chris Haynes ‏@ChrisBHaynes Coby Karl was on T-Wolves Summer League team & now #Blazers scoop him up. On top of that, he's going to sport No. 7. Coincidence?

 

[KingSpeed]

Wow. He's a good player.

 

[MickZagger]

Wow. He's a good player.

Haha, no he's not.

 

[NOVoodoo]

Coby Karl is in the NBA, and both Allen Iverson and Stephon Marbury are unemployed in their mid-30's.

Never thought I'd see the day...

 

[Nate Dogg]

There goes Elliot Williams contract and he will be cut perhaps?

So, wait... is Adam Morrison officially on the roster with a guaranteed contract?

Not to mention that Karl is only a training camp member...

No, A_am is not officially on the roster with a guaranteed contract.

More importantly...

Coby Karl and Adam Morrison are in the NBA. Sergio is not.

Neither has been coached by Nate, or maybe they wouldn't be?

 

[Denny Crane]

I cannot imagine Nate making Morrison into a worse player.

True, he's not a PG

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Coby Karl can play. He's like a slightly better Luke Jackson. He does everything... but probably just a step below NBA-level. Actually, a good comp is probably Kyle Singler. I'd rather have him than Morrison just because he's capable of being a role player. Morrison has to be the focus of the offense, because he's less than useless at everything else. And he's not good enough on offense for that. (Although, if a team really was desperate enough to base their offense round him he could probably score 20ppg. They'd have to be the early '90s Clippers, though.

That's because Karl and Morrison weren't good enough for Real Madrid.

Dude. #7.

wtf. I know he won't make the team, but that shit is sacred.

Why is it sacred? It's not retired, nor should it be. The guy who wore it before signed with a division rival. Why exactly is it sacred?

Blazer fan store still has a lot of #7 jerseys they're trying to unload.

[illmatic99]

Well, it's sacred to me.

 

[Denny Crane]

FWIW, I saw a guy here in San Diego yesterday wearing a #7 Roy jersey that said Rip City on the front.

Would that be anyone who posts here?

 

[BrianFromWA]

no one's going to admit to being at exotic dancing facilities at 11am, Denny.

and Sergio couldn't stick with two coaches who play very uptempo basketball.

I read on Hoophype that they will not cut him and instead go the disabled player route for the extra spot.

Cause Nate had already destroyed any confidence he had
