    They said he will be in uniform for wednesdays game. I think this HAS to do with a trade. or just they assume they will make a deal.

    Trail Blazers will recall rookie PG Armon Johnson from D-League after Monday's game at Utah. He will be in uniform for Wed game vs. Lakers

    In his first 8 games, Johnson avg 17.6 points, 4.4 rebs and 2.9 assists in 27.3 minutes. He's not expected back in time for Tues practice

    Might not have much to do with a trade. Wasn't the reason they sent him him down to allow for Chris Johnson to suit up? IDK for sure.

    Maybe they just want to see how he is doing. It is pretty common for a team to pull their guy back after a while to see how the playing time may have helped. I also remember a few years back we yanked somebody back from the D league because the team was not working the skills they wanted them to.

    If it had to do with a trade, I think they would make sure he made it for Tuesday's Practice. Obviously they do not expect him to play against LA

    What was the point of calling him up when Miller and Rudy are sharing the point the last few games and Mills only get 10-11 minutes?

    Yep, he sounded very positive, he's doing a lot of lifting, says he'll be back on the court in a month or so. These were "choice based" surgeries to correct a problem he was born with where the knee cap slides out of joint and cause problems, supposedly it went well. Should be no long term issue at all

    He went down to the D-League for the same reasons Patty and Babbit were sent. They all needed more experience instead of rotting away on the bench. When we brought Patty and Babbit back, were there trades looming? This is absolutely nothing to speculate over. Why even speculate since our season is already over anyway Mixum?

    yeah, how about we just limit our threads to talking about the upcoming draft! Or better yet, lockout speculations!
