Shareef Abdur-Rahim dealt to Miami
October 30, 2004



It was reported earlier this morning on ESPN's "Cold Pizza" that the Portland Trailblazers had traded All-Star foward Shareef Abdur-Rahim to the Miami Heat. Hours later the trade was officially announced, and we found out the two newest members to the Portland Trailblazers roster. The Blazers aquired veteran guard Eddie Jones and foward Rasual Butler from the Miami Heat, and in return send Shareef Abdur-Rahim.

Shareef was aquired along with Theo Ratliff near the trade deadline earlier this year, when the Blazers sent Rasheed Wallace to the Atlanta Hawks. "Shareef is a great talent, but there weren't enough minutes for him and Zach.", said head coach Maurice Cheeks. The Blazers are happy about the two players they aquired, and you can expect Eddie Jones to be starting at the shooting guard position.

GM Steve Nash says there should be more moves expected before the end of the season, he also reported the team was in talks with the Atlanta Hawks about a possible pre-season deal.

Rookie Point Guard will start
November 2, 2004



With four days till the Blazers season opener, it was announced that rookie Sebastian Telfair would be starting at point guard for the team. He was picked 13th overall in this year's draft and is looking to follow in the footsteps of his cousin Stephon Marbury, who is already an all-star point guard in the league.

"They said they was impressed with how hard I worked in camp, so they're giving me the the keys to the car", said Telfair to reporters on Tuesday. Telfair was drafted out of high school and has amazing potential, he says that he'll do whatever it takes to get this team back into the post-season. "They missed the playoffs last year for the first time in a long time, but this year we're gonna bounce back", said Telfair on what he thought of the team.

The fact that Telfair has been named the starter makes the rumors of Damon Stoudamire leaving town even more likely to happen, make sure to check back at Blazers.com for more updates!
