    It does mean that he'll be traveling with the team.

    "The Trail Blazers announced Monday that Terry Porter will move into the television studio and add his basketball expertise to broadcasts of Blazers games this season.

    Porter, the legendary Blazers point guard and former NBA head coach, will provide commentary and insight to the broadcast team as a studio analyst and sideline reporter. Porter will work alongside Michael Holton in his new role, which will span 76 games this season."

    I dunno if that means he's traveling. It seems to emphasize "studio" more than "sideline".

    If only TP had laced it up for the Sonics, he too could be on the Blazers coaching staff.

    So Terry Porter is now -

    Blazer Ambassador

    A campaign manager for Chris Dudley

    Assistant Coach for Lewis & Clack basketball

    Studio host and sideline reporter for the Blazers


    It's like he just discovered meth.

    I think that would make Rebecca look unbalanced. But she is a Los Angeles celebrity now, so I'm pretty sure it's mandatory.

    This is great. He's a great speaker and would definitely be a positive addition to Blazer games.

    I'm not sure, but I think this is for home broadcasts only. They will be in the studio when the team is on the road.

    I talked to Terry tonight, he laughed when I asked him if he's going on the road with the team and then said no and he is glad that he doesn't.

    You are kind of like the little brother of the Blazer organization. If you went back to school in the offseason their are higher positions within the organization available to you.
