I heard that on the radio too.
I see Hill ending up on another team soon. He is too good to go to the D-League. A lot of teams can use a hard working, shot blocking center.
And he already knows how to shut down Greg Oden from working out with him daily! ;-)
My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.
It's mainly for roster flexibility.
I originally wanted Steven Hill to make the team, but he’s too one-dimensional — as his offense is non-existent at this point in his career — and would’ve been nothing more than practice/NBDL fodder.
Yet, instead of Shavlik Randolph, I’d’ve rather had a true third-string center on the roster to bang with Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla during practice. Unless Randolph can defend centers, he’s not that guy.
At this point in time, my vote goes to keeping an open roster spot for flexibility reasons.
If I'm not mistaken
His contract isn’t guaranteed until January, so in reality, we still have that flexibility of an open roster spot to make an in season trade.
Witty Unpredictable Talent and Natural Game
Actually his current one (non-Guarantee) was to expire on November 1
So now….not so sure…but maybe he will help out here and there …he did score 27 pts in his last 48 min with 15 reb 6 blocked shots….
Shavlik Randolph's minimum-level contract ...
doesn’t become fully guaranteed ’til 1/10/2009, so you are correct here.
Unless he would get injured in a game or in training
In that case it gets instantly guaranteed. But the Blazers could still waive him to free up a spot.

Here is the press release
Or rather, it’s right here. Good luck to Luke and Steven.

NBA says today game at 9:00 PM ET. PTB Official site says 7:00 PM WT. Something wrong?. I think there are 3 hours between East and West.
Sergio + Rudy = 16
Sergio + Bayless = 16
Batum 8+8=16
Game is
7pm Mountain time utah. I know this because I am going to the game :)
That would be 6pm pacific. and 9pm eastern.
We haven't done anything yet... but don't blink.
Thanks. Have a good time watching the Blazers beating UTAH at home.
Sergio + Rudy = 16
Sergio + Bayless = 16

How long till the first "Trade Shavlik Randolph" fanpost?
Surprising news. Considering Greg just opened up Zilla’s forehead in practice.
I’m still waiting on Hansboro.
"Brandon Roy is your favorite restaurant" - Dave
I suggest to waive Shavlik, take Fazekas who became available today. Seriously.
Odenied: If you're given lemmings—make lemming-ade (Bow4Meow)
Nick Fazekas has more potential than Shavlik Randolph, but ...
he’s also not a true center; thus, he doesn’t seem like a viable target.
Regarding Fazekas, he surprisingly lost out on a roster spot with the Denver Nuggets to a washed-up Juwan Howard. Honestly, Howard should join his fellow Fab Fiver, Chris Webber, in retirement.
He is 6-11, Shavlik is 6-10. They are both rather PF/C

Damn...
Oh well, if he gets any play time we will have lots of pictures to look and laugh at!
Keep him away from Blake!!!!

looks like
you’ve been saving that for just such an occasion.

What I love most about this picture
Is that it really leaves whats going on up to your own interpretation…
Like, what’s really happening behind that guys head?? That girl looks pleased about something.

Insignificant
Shav will be lucky to average 2 minutes a game.
Flex it up, Shavik. Yer on THE Team this year.
Don’t be a wiener.

So I'm envisioning some big moment from Shav followed
by the spontaneous outpouring from the fans raining down a 1/2 ton of sausage onto the court….
"As long as you don't bring your gayness on me I'm fine"
Looks like the guy behind him was trying to “bring his gayness” and a booty smack…

Thanks for mentioning this
What if he had said something about “bringing your blackness” or “you Jewishness”? What happened to the great culture the Blazers are supposed to be fostering?
Palin drone: a statement that is equally nonsensical whether uttered or written forward or backward.
Exactly
Even if he didn’t “mean” it, I still don’t think it was cool to say.

I think the "meaning" was all blown out of porpotion
I’ll again point people to LeBron’s statement when asked the same question…
It was a way of him saying that short of this guy hitting on him, that it was really none of his business
Yeah it was worded wrong
I get the meaning of it. Here’s to hoping that he can learn some interview skills when faced with questions like that.
And I’m not a LaBron fan and he’s not on our team so I encourage him to say stupid things!

I'm not 100% certain...
… but I think that’s Luke Schencher (sp?) . A former Blazer (and Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket).
hakkaa päälle !
Not for nothing and all jokes aside...
This is a big moment for him — it was widely felt that his injury was career ending — it was in Nov 2006 and he was starting at the time replacing an injured Chris Webber — His numbers across that starting 6 or 7 games were pretty impressive — he has always been one injury or illness away from achieving his potential — he ws the top ranked HS player in …2002? I think — Amare S. was #2 that year —
Given the ability of PTB management for making good decisions — maybe they found something here that will prove to our benefit — even if just in a trade package
I wish him the best
And if he does something cool, I’ll cheer for him. But it’s so easy to make fun of him too :)

But I also want to tell you
That Shav is one of the nicest people you will ever meet on the planet…
He has an incredible work ethic when it comes to the game, which is why he was so sheltered in so many other areas…he didn’t do anything but play —
This summer he worked out 35 + hours a week — more sometimes…
I’m guessing that those of you who have seen me out here might be figuring out who my “insider” with the PTB’s is…

Odenied: If you're given lemmings—make lemming-ade (Bow4Meow)
I think Randolph is a nice player to have for the 15th spot
on the roster. I’m willing to bet he may be one of the best #15 men in the entire league.
Don’t know how much it will matter, as it is questionable how much court time he sees. But then again, he might just earn playing time if he really is any good.
hakkaa päälle !
S-bo is a guy that can NBA it; Hill is a practice dummy to save wear and tear on Pryz...

Don't know about that
but the average hair length on the team just dropped by several inches.
