    That should be 15 guaranteed contracts then.

    Roy Rudy
    Blake Miller Bayless
    LaMarcus Travis Howard
    Batum Webster
    Joel Greg

    That's 12.

    Richie Cunningham, Pendergraph and Mills makes 15.

    So one would assume it means that Ime and Collins are cut. Unless the team makes a trade to clear up a roster spot.

    IF McMillan is trying to force KP's hand by implying he's going to start Joel and Blake (instead of Greg and Andre), and potentially play Ime minutes or find a roster spot on the team for him..this was a counter by KP to force Nate's hand into actually sticking to that dumb plan.

    If you believe they're playing cards of course.

    Maybe Mills will be cut later this month. Maybe they just wanted to give him some walking-around money?

    I don't think so. I think blazers have other plans for him. Like sending him to europe.

    So, does that mean he is ineligible to play in europe? I'm only repeating what I heard from Canzano on his show. Something that was sent to him via text from Quick.

    Why would they "send him to Europe," if they just signed him? And how exactly does that work?

    Maybe Quickzano meant "to the D-League."

    According to a quote on B-Edge (from Shamsports), a player apparently needs to officially be signed before being moved. Maybe this is simply a procedural task.

    Also, there is no mention that this contract is guaranteed.

    Mills is signed - Guaranteed or non-Guaranteed? I haven't heard.

    Either we're getting ready to trade Blake or Bayless thus needing a new third PG

    OR

    We're going to cut Ime and Collins (stupid IMHO) and bank on the future/potential again.

    It looks to me to be KP saying to Nate - I'll see your bet and raise you!!!!

    Wouldn't it be funny if KP traded one of Nate's announced starters????

    That's... a stupid thing to say (not you, Fez).

    We don't need to waive him. We can simply not sign him, or we could renounce our rights to him, I believe. The only reason we'd renounce (or sign and waive him) is if we wanted to set him free to sign with another NBA team.

    I'm thinking either he's about to get waived, some kind of consolidation trade is in the works, or ... oh who the hell am I kidding, I have no fucking idea what's going on.
