    But, obviously this was the right move for Oberto. No reason to jeopardize your life.

    Yeah, good for him to do what's best for him. Weird for Portland, because they just can't seem to catch a break.

    Well, we have a spot for Jerryd now.

    Apparently, Dwayne Jones is available.

    Two questions: Do we still pay his full salary? Does this free up a roster spot to get another big?

    On a related note, I think this pushes the Blazers past the injury exception limit. Ten day contract coming soon!

    EDIT: NM, roster is at 14 so it doesn't matter.

    The roster is at 14 now, so yes they should be able to sign somebody.

    Wow.. this was totally out of the blue. He was actually an adequate backup for now until Joel comes back.

    Wow. It's a bummer for him... he's gotta take care of himself.

    The cold/calculating/Blazers fan in me can't say he'll miss his 0.9 PER, of course.

    Is Dampier still available? Or a time machine to go back a week and sign him?

    Bad news on one side.

    Good news is that Joel and Greg are essentially 100% and ready to come back, they are just waiting for the right "moment" to bring them back. I have a feeling we could see one of them start much sooner than expected.

    You have to wonder if Damipier would even accept a one year contact.
