    I know the Blazers have had some injury problems, but Mobley would be a cheap, ancillary character off the bench and, if truly healthy, could prove to be a great, veteran bench presence.

    There are a lot of younger options out there. With our injury history, I would want someone that could play significant time if needed.

    I'd be surprised if he could still contribute game minutes, but I wouldn't mind having him around practice for Barton to learn from. I see a lot of similarities between them, with Barton's biggest weaknesses (patience, control, outside shooting) being strengths of Cat.

    A player dropping dead on the court. That would just be the icing on the cake for the Blazers injury curse. Umm...no.

    (Isn't that what happened to Batum's dad?)

    Sure if he's still available after we make our major moves first.
