The Portland Trail Blazers signed a former Oklahoma City Thunder and Philadelphia 76ers forward to a deal. The 26-year-old has some familiarity with the organization on the G League level, but will look to get some NBA minutes as the regular season looms.

In other news, new Blazers guard Jrue Holiday spoke candidly about what his role will be this season. With such a young core in Portland, Holiday can immediately make an impact in the locker room with his leadership, and certainly share some of his championship experience with his new team.

Finally, a Blazers big man is predicted to take a major leap this season as he heads into year No. 2. The ESPN insider thinks that a breakout season is inevitable for the seven-foot-two sophomore.
