    No Blazers named in worst contracts.

    He also has an article on the best contracts.

    A couple of long but entertaining reads:
    I don't find it funny when BS bashes the Blazers, but I do find it funny when he bashes others.

    I don't like it when he indirectly bashes a few of our posters who still want Beasley as a Blazer. (OK maybe a little)

    well, Roy's on there but in the "amnesty section".

    And I don't think he's right about Outlaw having 3/12M left. Travis signed a 5/35M deal.

    you're right, I just finished the article. They're talking about the Kings resigning him after his amnesty.

    So to recap, TrOut's making about 11M (7 from NJN, 4 from SAC) a season for this year and the next 2. Or about what Batum is.
