    We need to win a championship bad. My brother-in-law keeps texting me pics of lamarsha in a spurs uniform. I need a ring so I can skull fuck him.

    they're signed, but they can be cut without a guarantee of money. Right now they're "signed" and "on a roster spot". You're missing Kaman and Connaughton and Montero.

    I think Neil is punting on this offseason and is stacking chips for next offseason.

    Alexander's contract is only $100k guaranteed; I think odds are he's cut. Crabbe contract becomes guaranteed next week on Aug 1 and I'd be shocked if he's cut.

    Pretty sure Crabbe will make the team, and I don't expect a few of those guys to be part of our active roster. Connaugthon, Montero, Alexander and Pressy are D-League fodder.

    So we have one roster spot for Frazier, Alexander, or another free agent. If I was betting I'd say this is our opening day roster but of course Neil will be open to opportunities. We might sign Delly or TThompson but Cavs will match. I expect us to wait and gauge interest for using cap space during the season. Disappointing teams will look to cut salary and we will have a better idea what needs our roster has.

    Blazers have rarely sent players to the DLeague. I could see us sending Alexander or Montero there.

    If Blazers send someone to D-League, they still count against the 15-man roster limit. Otherwise - Blazers have to cut them and they are Free Agents and can choose to go play in the D-League or go to Europe or where ever they want. Blazers have no control of their activities.

    Is the roster finished? I think so for the beginning of training camp. Then we'll see who will be on the regular season roster and those that'll ride the pine for nearly the entire season.

    With that said, I think Olshey and company will have several trade opportunities leading up to the trade deadline. He should have plenty of chances to take advantage of our cap space.

    For players signing fully guaranteed NBA deals that's true. For training camp invites we can send an additional 4 to the D league beyond the 15 rostered players and retain their rights. But each contract has to be setup to allow that. Perhaps Alexander was signed that way, I haven't heard.

    Where am I wrong? I'm not.

    Either they make the Blazers 15-man roster & they are on the "team" .... or they don't. If they don't, they have to be cut and become UNRESTRICTED Free Agents to do what ever they want. Blazers don't have any draft rights on any of these guys (except for Pat - but they have already signed him to a contract, so if he is cut he becomes a UFA and Blazers loose their rights).

    I don't have a problem with it. Play the young guys, develop our assets, and maybe pick someone up next summer.
