    I am so desperate for change, that I like this!

    Ahh, something new to watch. Finally. He can cover for McCollum's defense. If Rush does alright, this will cover the gap when Olshey trades McCollum.

    I knew about minimum payroll, but what's this about a minimum number of players? It changes during the season?

    Then it's

    number of players...date...roster change
    14 ...before Feb. 8
    14...Feb. 8...trade Vonleh for Milovan Rakovic
    13...unknown date...waive Rakovic

    Why did the league let us be at 13? My only theory is, we waived Rakovic the same day we signed Rush.

    So, this is literally the cheapest move they could have made.

    He's a practice player. Nothing to get either excited about or worried about.

    Will lighting Turner's farts fix his broken ass shot? If so, I'm all for it.

    It appears our roster was at 13 for 11 days, which is why I started asking about the 14 minimum. My theories were 1) the minimum changes during the season? Of course not. 2) The Baldwin addition counted? New situation this year. 3) Rakovich was waived 11 days after the Vonleh trade? No, we just owned his rights, but didn't sign him. 4) My new theory: Maybe they give teams a grace period after the Trade Deadline to return to 14?

    14 ...before Feb. 8
    13...Feb. 8...trade Vonleh for Milovan Rakovic rights, but do not sign Rakovic
    14...Feb. 19...sign Brandon Rush

    Let's play Stump the Board. Theory 4 is a subset of Theory 1. Theory 2 would answer it, if true.

    Why? Waiving Myers wouldn't release the team of his contract so there is no reason to just release him.

    It's a price you pay to make the roster better.

    How does a guy not playing in the rotation being waived make the roster better? We have 15 roster spots so it's no burden. Waiving him now would be foolish and not improve the team at all.

    Rakovic was never under contract - and so was never waived.

    And by the way, Google is your friend....

    Portland only had 2 weeks to get a 14th player on the roster.

    We waived Rakovic? We never signed him. He was never on our roster. We traded for his rights should he ever come to the nba.
