    I'll think about it. I just can't get all the fingers to move in sequence. It's like keys of a piano and one key is sticking. Took me six months to feel normal on a keyboard again.

    I think he would have to be a Blazer for 3 seasons for full Bird rights.

    This was just a smart, blue collar signing ..free agents do actually fly to Portland and want to play here after all. I like the Layman draft pick as well...going to be an interesting roster as it stands

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    If his knees were "shot," the Blazers wouldn't even throw away $16M. This is pretty clearly a "make-good" deal--play for two years and try to build his value if he has no major knee injuries. Low risk for the Blazers, a chance to get back on the market quickly for Ezeli if his knees cooperate. If they don't, $16M is a nice insurance policy.

    Team option? His knees are definitely risky.

    I like this contract. Team doesn't have to cut an arm off trying to get this guy, he gets a short-term deal to prove he's worth more and the Blazers can pull the ripcord if his knees explode.

    Shame we didn't get to year three and bird rights, but fuck it. Not bad.
