Sports Farewell Channing Frye

In an expected move, the Portland Trail Blazers are cutting ties with Channing Frye, this according to an article by the Oregonian's Jason Quick. By not giving Frye—the Blazers' best blogger and second best PF—a qualifying offer, he is free to seek out employment with another team (which he should find, no problem).

Frye's stay in Portland will probably best be remembered by his deep love for the city, and less for his limited time spent on court. He was the only Blazers player to make Portland his full-time home during the off-season, and was, without question, the nicest/funniest voice in the locker room. You hear that Oden? Time to turn that frown upside down and be funny.

Hopefully Frye can land on a team that will give him some more playing time, and perhaps pay his salary entirely in Sweet Leaf tea. Good luck, man.

Dale Davis definitely didn't get such a sweet sendoff. What of Chan Chans lady friend? Too bad Vancouver BC still doesn't have a team!

I miss Ha Jin and his ammug staring at me from the I-5.

Frye seemed like a cool guy but did little for the team.

Aren't there any 7 foot tall hipsters in the league? Let's get one of them.

While a mere 6'10", Matt Bonner's been known to check out indie bands in Austin.
