Wow. Pretty amazing that a #6 pick in the draft would get sent down to the minors, but it's probably for the best. Webster can get in some valuable playing time and regain his confidence. When he comes back up to the big leagues, he'll be the better for it.

For those who, like me, have paid no attention whatsoever to the NBDL until now, here is the official website of the Ft. Worth Flyers:

I think it's great. For starters it sounds like it's only for a few weeks, just to get them some playing time instead of rotting on the bench and losing confidence.

With Webster, since Dixon, Blake, Jack, and Telfair are all playing pretty well he's not going to be seeing much playing time for awhile. This is a great way to face some competitive competition and build his talents for next year.

The announcers tonight said it was only for a couple of weeks at the most.

Personally, I like the moves, because the guys WILL get playing time down there. Right now, Nate seems to have a rotation that he enjoys (or at least uses often enough), and if Martell and Sergei can get more experience at the NBDL, more power to 'em!

not that suprising really , hopefully it'll work

"barfo" might be a little strong, but the lady in the middle in the front row might look better in say, an angora sweater.

I've been calling for the Blazers to use the D league all season. I love the fact that we sent Martell and Monya down, but I wish we would also send down Ha.

I want to see Martell and Monia have like, 30-some shots between them. Really get a good look at their range and what they can do with the proverbial baton.

Lineup in the last game:

VONTEEGO CUMMINGS, 29

IME UDOKA, 29 (check out his line; he's been scoring a lot of points at Shooting Guard)

ANTHONY TERRELL, 25

RAWLE MARSHALL, 23

LUKE SCHENSCHER, 25

...Martell Webster, 19

I hope there's some sort of rule requiring signed players preferential PT.

Thanks for the stie.

It'll be interesting following them. Hope they do get a lot of playing time.

Are any of these games televised?

Possible side effect of this move... more minutes for Outlaw.

For anybody who is feeling really down on Outlaw right now, I recommend heading to blazers.com and watching the little highlight reel they have on him - cool stuff.

Here's the team that is left with Webster and Monia moving down:

Blake/Telfair
Dixon/Jack/Smith
Khryapa/Outlaw
Randolph/Patterson
Przybilla/Ratliff/Ha

Nash made this move? Much to the chagrin of Nate??

Sumthing seems amiss here.

Heh, I'm certain a Canzano inquest, er, report, will be forthcoming.
