The Oden Era, Day 469

The addition of Hill adds the most to Blazer karma...

…………………………. he was a fan favorite at summer league, seems a hard worker, and will have the thankless job of getting crushed by GOd on a nearly daily basis in practice.

Still, the addition of Jackson wouldn’t surprise me, with Martell’s injury and all… They’re short a shooter…

This is all about Oden

I asked if Hill would make the roster back in August. I thought it would be great to have another big guy to bang on Oden and Pryzbilla.

Hightide was the only "Yes" vote.

Just so you know.

I missed that poll

But I jumped on the SH bandwagon when the news came down re: Raef’s shoulder

(but, if another small forward goes down in the next week, Luke Jackson may still get that 15th slot…)

What are the odds that if Hill were to get cut and then WOULDN’T be available for a 10-day contract in January?

Maybe there’s a GM out there who would “make room” for SH on his 15 man roster in November-December, but methinks the odds are slim

I like what Quick said about Hill

that he is more than holding his own in scrimmages against GO. We’ve all had to play against really strong guys sometimes, and it can be demoralizing. I like Hill’s grit and determination.
