    6 players on the shelf: Mills, Pendergraph, Outlaw, Rudy, Batum, Oden.

    What's the over/under that any of those guys will be contributing members of the Blazers on December 1st 2010?

    I'll say 3, and take the under.

    Really?

    Mills and Pendergraph are long shots, and there is a very real possibility that Rudy will be traded and/or Outlaw will be allowed to walk.

    Even at my most optimistic (ie Oden and Batum both recover) that is still only 2.

    I'm a lot less sure that Rudy will be traded and Outlaw will be given his walking papers. Regarding Outlaw, what is the team's motivation to let him go? They'll be over the cap, so his salary savings can't be reapportioned. He can be re-signed with Bird rights, so he doesn't eliminate the team's MLE. It would just be a straight personnel loss. Unless he's asking for a crazy contract, I assume Portland re-signs him because they don't get anything if he walks and they're a better team with him on the bench than without him.

    I think Oden and Batum are both likely to be in uniform and playing a year from now, and Fernandez and Outlaw are both still likely to be with the team. Whatever long-shot chances I give Rudy or Outlaw being gone are made up for by the long-shot chances that Pendergraph or Mills is contributing.

    That's why I said over.

    I'm starting to get get it now why soldiers frequently develop very dark and twisted senses of humor in in warzones. If you don't find a way to laugh, you're just going to end up in the loony bin.

    I've been wondering if it's the Blazer's organization's astrological chart. Who freaking knows. If anyone can provide me by pm with the time of day of the creation of the Blazer's as an entity I could give ya'll that angle. Day isn't good enough, I need time of day.
