Sports Blazers Re-Sign Travis Outlaw

Yesterday the Blazers re-signed lanky SF Travis Outlaw to a three year deal worth about $12 million dollars. This most likely means that fan-favorite, and local boy, Ime Udoka is as good as gone. Udoka was the feel-good story of last year’s team, proof positive that the franchise was ditching its not too admirable past, and focusing on community-minded players, who contribute both on, and off, the court.

But, do you know what Outlaw has that Ime does not?
A fancy highlight reel, set to pulsating techno beats. Oh, and $12 million bucks, too.

Outlaw has more offensive 'upside' and could develop into a dangerous all around player. I think it's safe to say Ime is the player he is and a team in need of a hard nosed 3 who can hit an occasional trey will have great use for him. Good for the team. Hope Ime lands in a good spot.
