    Hmm... I guess you could be right, but I would be surprised if Johnson is considered by many to be the same level of a prospect as Randolph.

    One other note is that Johnson and Randolph played together at LSU during the 07/08 season.

    Johnson is a twig... and he has tried to put weight on over the last 4 years. Some doctors think its genetic.... Randolph is waayyyy better than this guy Johnson...but Johnson is prob better than marks

    huh. I guess it's better than Marks. But I don't think we'll use him at center anyway.

    If he has to play any minutes at all I would think you'd use him at PF, with either Prz or LA at center. Just like Cunningham is being used already. (I know DC is often listed at C, but that's a joke. When was the last time he was on the court without a true big next to him?)

    Is he likely to be any better than Cunningham? Taller, but 20 or so pounds lighter.

    Which means we are not in trade discussions for Randolph. Or maybe we were and Cho couldn't pull the trigger.

    Or maybe he wasn't good enough to get something done? Or maybe Randolph is a bad egg? Or maybe Nate didn't like him? Or maybe....

    Patty was at the Duck game today and he hadn't heard of this move yet. I'm assuming they would let Marks go. That's his boy, so when I told him, he seemed kinda bummed.

    You know, waiving players isn't the only way to clear a roster spot.

    Could be a .... Trade Coming Soon!!!

    Wow, I didn't know Johnson's sister was in porn. I wonder if she'll fly in for some games?

    Might not be the case. As RR7 said above, we could possible be getting an exception and add him without waiving anyone.

    With Cho as GM?

    Yeah, and maybe MM or Mixum will learn to post someday.

    Here's the facts from the CBA FAQ page:

    So, the Blazers have Roy, Oden, and Williams on the Inactive List. If they can get the hardship approval to put Camby at the 4th player on the Inactive List, then they could give Johnson a 10-day contract.

    My sense is that when Cho does make a move, and I don't know whether it will be before the deadline or not, but when he does, there are going to be a lot of surprised people around here. He strikes me as the kind of guy who doesn't leak anything prior to making a move.

    Blazersedge reported Johnson being brought in for predraft workouts twice in 09.

    Ben even got a KP quote back then about Johnson:
    Blazers chose Dante, Pendy, and Patty instead.

    What are the chances we're doing this because we ARE trading for Randolph and we want one of his old teammates to maybe boost his morale?
