Sources indicated that Blazers GM Kevin Pritchard has decided to keep center Joel Przybilla, wing Martell Webster and guard Sergio Rodriguez, and Pritchard said he has not engaged in trade talks involving guard Jarrett Jack, leaving few options for trades. Pritchard declined to speculate on which players are locks to stay. What appears to be a lock is the signing of Travis Outlaw, the fifth-year forward who is coming off his best season.

I'm hoping the front office shows some stability with the Blazers...they have a pretty good coach, a top two draft pick and a bunch of guys that has been in the league for a few years...The Blazers could make some doubters rethink their ambivilence.

I would keep Outlaw that is a smart move by the trailblazers..Portland was smart to bring Blake back to the team i think the blazers are really making some great moves in the off season...

Outlaw last season was there best D player. Now they Oden and it will only make Outlaw better. They Blazers are really looking good in the future.

Also I would not mind the Cavs trying to make a run at Jack. He kind of reminds me of a young Billups and if he keeps working hard I think he can turn into a good NBA PG.

what happen to miles...is he still on the team????

July 17, 2007  01:35 PM ET

I thought they wanted to get rid of the image "The Jailblazers" and what do they do.......... sign OUTLAW

I have known Spartak Olga biblically.

Logic still says they will make more trades since they have like 10 freaking guys on every position.

But once the dust settles, this team should start making some noise and it begins this coming season. They are using the next 2 years to build momentum and then sign a FA's on 2009 who will be considered the 'finishers' to start making runs at the championships.

I know it sounds far fetched for a team that missed the playoffs the past few years, but most of the pieces are in place and they will have a butt load of cap space in 2009. Look out!

hey Denis24, Outlaw isnt a "Jail Blazer" he is one of the first of the new good character guys.

July 17, 2007  06:32 PM ET

EITHER WAY THEY ARENT GOING TO BE A CONTENDER ANYTIME SOON ... THIS IS ODEN'S FIRST YEAR , MAYBE IN THE FUTURE NOT RIGHT NOW...

Rememba Bill Walton came to Blazers and it took them 3 years to make noise....Oden is no Walton.....
