I guess it just boils down to this: What was the risk with keeping him around? He is presumably only going to get better and healthier, and if he plays more than 10 games this year the Trailblazers have to pick up his salary, anyway. If there's no risk, financially or otherwise, why not see if a 26-year old who was projected as a stud can regain some of the swagger that earned him all that attention? I don't get it.

Then, if Bill Walker turns an ankle in January or Tony Allen needs to sit a few games in February, you have a dynamic player available in his place.

Two things stood out in my mind almost immediately: Bill Walker can play in this league, and Gabe Pruitt could be a solid back-up combo guard. Whether either of those things happens in Boston remains to be seen, and one of the reasons that's an issue is Cassell.
