    Armon waiving is fine, considering this org once had Viktor Khryapa and Sergei Monia

    Actually, both of them are good players. Khryapa is earning millions as one of the stars of CSKA Moscow, which could beat a couple of NBA teams no problem, and Monia has gotten better to the extent that he's a lock down wing defender and great three point shooter. Both are better than Armon. But I guess they're furrin and have furrin names, so they're good for comic relief.

    Honestly, I wish they would waive a couple more guys. Bring in somebody like Mills who will play balls-to-the-wall just to earn an invite to training camp next season. Replace the guys like Babbitt who show no urgency or drive to improve.

    So Blazers pick up a big man and drop a 3rd string PG . . . GM's are overrated.

    So, at least twice as good as Adam Morrison, then.

    Why release Armon instead of Greg?
    Sure seems like they've given up on Greg, but I didn't expect them to admit it like this.
