    Fair point. But there's always the 2-way contract, and then we're ready after we make that huge end-of-the-roster clearing trade.

    If the players stopped caring about meaningless things, they wouldn't be playing basketball.

    We already have two guys on two way contracts, the maximum allowed. But if he's still on the street when/if space opens up, sure.

    Maybe it was all the other ball hogging you did to lead up to that chuck?

    Why would someone on the other team get mad over that? BTW, 37 points 10 assists..

    So funny reading some of the comments on Baldwin only a year ago after his debut. Now a year later he's evidently lost athleticism and has turned from confident to cocky. Whatever. If theres any place he's going to prove people wrong it's here.

    I'm very high on Wade because I have no actual clue but being a homer sure feels good right now. Wade is going to be a damned beast in this league, just give him time and the tutelage of Dame & CJ.

    So both of our 2-way-contract players are now sidelined after surgery. Interesting that we went after guys that weren't healthy for both 2-way spots. A bit reminiscent of us drafting Elliot Williams who had knee surgery shortly after we drafted him, though that was a different regime altogether.

    Baldwin is a post deadline/2018 guy anyway so this doesn't affect much.

    Wade Baldwin becomes the first person in medical history to undergo microfracture surgery of the thumb. Blazers to sign to max contract.

    After Oden, whenever I hear the words microfracture, I get a chill go through my body.

    Zbo successfully underwent MF surgery in both knees when he was a Blazer. I'm sure Baldwin's thumb MF surgery will turn out fine.
