    ...wasn't that weeks ago? And I highly doubt the lesser Holiday has a shot at the 15 man roster.

    Presumably we need a body for training camp, because he doesn't sound like an NBA player.

    I think, if we'd waited until after Ronnie Price went down we would have gone after a PG.

    having a SG/SF who isn't Nolan Smith, Sasha or Adam Morrison probably would be a reason.

    Although I'm not sure if he's the answer.

    My inside source says that Mrs. Holiday is taking a day off from childrearing and is employing Olshey as babysitter.

    Paul Allen likes to have one Seattle player on the team.

    Wouldn't you want to take a chance on someone with more upside than Holiday then? There were plenty of players in this and last year's drafts that could have made great NBDL stashes. If that was the goal of the signing... why Holiday?

    Do you think the NBA needs to revise their minor league system?

    I mean, the NBDL was only supposed to be the "first step" towards a minor league, right?

    How cool would it be if the NBDL actually became a farm system for young prospects, instead of the University of Kentucky...

    It just seems like the NBDL is where all the Euroleague rejects team up with the "rough around the edges" NBA prospects. It'd be nice to get a real minor league system in place.

    The Blazers should be an injured player exception for Williams.

    Does that mean that Ammo is a lock to make the roster?
