Who will we cut - who will we keep?

According to The Game, today is the day that teams have to trim their rosters to 15.

My guess is that we release Jackson and Hill, and Keep Randolph. Or do we cut all 3 and pick up a guy that another team cuts? Hmmmm.

TRAIL BLAZERS WAIVE LUKE JACKSON, STEVEN HILL

Portland Sets Roster for Opening Night

PORTLAND, Ore. - The Portland Trail Blazers waived forward Luke Jackson and rookie center Steven Hill, General Manager Kevin Pritchard announced today. Portland's roster stands at 15 players entering Opening Night at the L.A. Lakers on Tuesday.

"We want to thank Luke and Steven for their contributions during training camp and preseason and wish them all the best for the future," said Pritchard. "They've conducted themselves as real pros on and off the court and we believe both of them have a bright future in basketball."

A former All-American at the University of Oregon, Jackson (6-7, 215) played in three preseason games, averaging 5.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 19.3 minutes. The four-year NBA veteran was 5-for-15 (33.3%) from the field and 1-for-4 (25.0%) from 3-point range.

Hill (7-0, 245) saw action in three preseason games, recording averages of 1.0 points, 0.7 rebounds, 0.67 blocks and 9.0 minutes. The rookie from Arkansas was a member of the team's 2008 NBA Summer League squad and signed on August 27, along with Jackson and Jamaal Tatum.

Kind of surprising.. I thought Hill would get it to be a punching bag in practice. Oh well, at least Shavlik can play a bit and saved his job with that game against Atlanta. He's our next Josh McRoberts!

True, but practice is a better indicator at this point of camp, and I imagine Randolph played well enough to force the Blazers to keep him.

I thought it would be Hill, but obviously KP saw something that told him Randolph was the better keep for the season.

pacers cut croshere. can't be too many players good enough to play for 1 team for 10 years that were waived and not traded first.
