You get to go the playoffs now, but better pack a coat. Enjoy the poutine! Also, learn the difference between a loonie and a toonie. |

He has been waived by Toronto. Someone will pick him up.

He has been waived by Toronto. Someone will pick him up. is he any good? Have to admit outside of a minute here and there, I’ve never seen him really play in NBA. I know he’s had some decent games stat-wise (seem to remember at least one double-double this year), but in NBA stats can be deceiving as to real worth on the court. My Chicago Bulls could certainly use a big, but no idea if he’s worth adding. Regardless, I hope he gets picked up by someone. |

Portland needs some low cost Bigs. makes way too much sense for Portland to do that. Local kid, feel good story for a team that could use some good news. No way |

Portland needs some low cost Bigs. Blazers need "good" low cost bigs that can play multiple positions. That's not Drew. |

I know he hasn't played big NBA minutes but at one point Pop thought enough of him to give him the guaranteed contract. I would be surprised to see him not picked up somewhere at least. |

Drew was only making 1.2 million this year, so it was not a big contract. He is a 10-15 minute bench guy at best for most teams. However, Portland only has one guy on the roster over 6'8", so I guess that they've decided they don't need big men. |

Portland is obviously tanking the remainder of this season. They won't make any move that improves their chances of winning.
Cleared cap space to sign FAs this summer. At least I assume so. When was the last time Portland signed a big name FA? Scottie Pippen at the end of his career?
Maybe they'll trade Lillard for Westbrook in the off season.

But if you’re 7 foot and have seen a basketball at some point in your life, that normally equals 7 million per year, even if you sit on the bench. |

When was the last time Portland signed a big name FA? Scottie Pippen at the end of his career? Maybe they'll trade Lillard for Westbrook in the off season. The Blazers traded Stacey Augmon, Kelvin Cato, Ed Gray, Carlos Rogers, Brian Shaw and Walt Williams for Scottie Pippen on October 2, 1999. Pippen was not a free agent. He and Barkley did not get along and Pippen's play style did not really gel with what the Rockets were trying to do at the time. He had a huge contract to contend with, but the Rockets were the ones that had negotiated the contract after the lockout ended the previous year, not the Blazers. |

That got my very faulty memory stirred up, and the best FA signing I can recall is either Brian Grant or Wes Matthews. Does not bode well for Portland. Loved both those guys, but they were not franchise changers. |
