    Hey SharpesT -- I agree like I said we could get something good or we could get crap out of this but the fact he is clearing space for something shows a very very small sign of hope but that hope could turn to dread if Cronin does something stupid.

    Watford is certainly better (and bigger) than most or all of those, but his contract was non-guaranteed for the most part. Walker could find himself in the same situation....accept he is a Cronin/Schmitz guy where Watford wasn't. (Walker's guaranteed salary date is in about a month.)

    Since the Blazers offered Badji and Butler QA's, does that take them off the 2-way list? Can someone confirm that?

    Technically he isn't. We extended the qualifying offer to JBJ and Badji. They're RFAs.

    Or they used the stretch provision on him to make him 6 inches taller.

    I'm sure he's not concerned about your perception of him..

    Last year there were 4 players on the roster that through really good alley-oop passes to Sharpe. 3 Of them (GP2, Hart, Trendon) are no longer on the roster and the 4th (Winslow) is not necessarily going to be either.

    Hope Scoot can throw a good alley-oop pass..

    Lame the GM is behind this.
    The day we'll finally trade him I'd be so happy

    Kinda crazy we kept Jeenathen Williams's contract over Watford. Can still waive Williams at the end of next month though.

    And Dame might be the worst lob thrower in the history of the league.

    it's not whining, it's mourning.

    But yeah, he became our 4th string PF and 3rd string C.

    I actually don't think he did. He played really well, but I don't think ever got the MVP.

    Should we expect them to waive the other 5-6 players on the roster who are not very good today?

    I predict Watford signs with the Suns or Warriors -- seems to fit there style

    Do we need his roster spot for some trade?
