    He's one of many very good Free Agents the Blazers have signed over the many years. But, where does he rank all-time in Trail Blazers history??

    Who was better on your list??

    Strickland and Przybilla rank slightly higher on my list of all time Free Agent signings.

    Wes Matthews for free agents had the biggest impact for me.

    Buck was a trade, though yeah? Traded Kiki for him?

    Wes is my favorite free agent signing, followed closely by Joel P.

    No, we traded Bowie and pick to Nets for Buck Williams 1989. He doesn't apply to this thread.

    Wes was the savviest and most surprising free agent signing in Blazer history. I had no clue who he was when KP signed him.

    Wes is in a close one with Brian Grant for me. Both cut from the same ilk too.

    Good list although I would change the order. Wes, Grant, Pryz, Dre, Rod.

    Strickland is right there as the most talented of the group but he came to my school for a stay in school assembly and was such an idiot. His message was school didn't really help him at all while he laid down resting with a mic but maybe its good for kids and such.
