    How much risk do you assign to a training camp contract for a guy who can be cut before the start of the season? If a trade is being sought, then having a guy in camp who can become the 3rd or 4th string center will look smart. Otherwise, there's zero risk. So I guess I was inaccurate to begin with in implying there was some risk involved.

    Nobody, but what I drank last night woke me up several times to pee!

    Anyway, when you return to this board after being absent most of the summer, you notice the same personality traits of people that you remember. Tonight, I've especially noticed Boob (long posts with many stats to make obvious points) and you (always trying to be supportive by praising the tiniest of Olshey's actions).

    There's a difference between praising and commenting. I was surprised at the signing and then thought it might make sense if there's a possibility of a trade involving one or more of our big men so I posted my comment. If you took it as unduly sunny, I guess I will just have to live with that.

    Yes, we all get it's a training camp signing. But if we didn't already have a plethora of big men, I'd be happy to have him on our bench. We could do much worse. And in case a trade or injury happens, this is a good opportunity for him to try out, and for us to take a look.

    I read an article about it saying he's battling 2 other invites and Montero for the 15th roster spot..Monetero doesn't have a guaranteed contract
