Another sudden turn of events, in Portland
First. The Blazers made a major mistake, when they decided to fire Kevin Pritchard, as their GM, on the eve of last summer’s NBA Draft.
Second. Portland made a second blunder this season, when they traded Joel Przybilla [C] + Dante Cunningham [PF] + Sean Marks [PC-C] + 2 conditional future 1st Round Draft Picks to Charlotte for Gerald Wallace [SF-PF].
Third. The Blazers now...

From the Trail Blazers’ Perspective

The Charlotte Bobcats might not waive Sean Marks immediately, after all. Since they're already paying him, they might keep him around until they know how much Joel Przybilla's knee can take.

Greg Oden and Elliot Williams are not included, obviously, as they have...
