    It all depends on if he was signed using the 10 day provision which in this case he was. They can keep signing him to 10 day contracts as long as he is under that clause.

    And a 10 day is only liable for that amount if he gets injured during that time.
    If they pick him up and he gets injured then they are in the hook for the entire remaining balance of the contract.

    Phenomenal. I was expecting more of the past 6 games, especially without Simons. It was very conflicting with the tank going on, but it was fun to be able to see the young guys turn it on like that. Very encouraging. If Chauncey can get the bottom of the bench to play like that, imagine when we have a full team back with Dame next season. I'm excited to see it.

    It was mascot night, Blazes birthday, my son enjoyed the mascots doing dunks and dancing and all that.

    It was also my daughters birthday. My son came out from LA to surprise her and they went to the game! They had a blast.

    Yeah, it was on the Jumbotron. I posted that here last night, wishing her a happy birthday. Sounds like she had a good one. Awesome.

    And btw, Neil tanked the end of Dame’s rookie year. 13 straight losses.

    no he didn't.

    Portland played their starters in several of those games. Aldridge sprained his ankle, IIRC, and it was a legitimate injury. Batum missed the last half dozen games or so with a bad wrist and I'm pretty sure he had off-season wrist surgery that summer

    that was simply not a good team. Dame was a rookie; Hickson was a terrible C; and that was one of the worst benches in NBA history. Also, that 13 game stretch was brutal. 12 of 13 games were against playoff teams, and 10 were against top-4 seeds

    Did you look that up? Or do you just remember crazy blazer factoids like that?

    Good points. No good excuse for losing all 13 though. That bench was bad, wasn't it? Pavlovic?

    I kind of remembered Batum's injury and that it was a tough schedule. I definitely remembered how bad that bench was because after Indiana matched Olshey's dumb max offer to Roy Hibbert, he pivoted to cheap-screwing together a terrible bench. I looked up the actual schedule and compared it to the final standings for that season. The worst team Portland played in that stretch had a 41-41 record

    yeah, Pavlovich was one. Rookies Meyers and Will Barton; Luke Babbitt & Nolan Smith; Freeland and Claver. Ronnie Price. Best bench player was probably Eric Maynor who was added at the trade deadline
