Morrison defending, when he played for Mead High School
Word has been spreading the last couple of days that past Gonzaga star, Adam Morrison, received an invite to the Portland Trailblazers training camp. The only problem was that their roster was full, and it was a non-guaranteed invite, meaning that Adam would have to make the team.
Things have suddenly changed for the better. Morrison now has a guaranteed 1 year contract and will receive the league minimum salary.
Adam played very well in Europe recently with Besiktas Milangaz where he averaged 11.8 points. He was also very impressive playing summer league for the LA Clippers where he averaged 18.7 points and 4.7 rebounds on a scorching 56% FG (22-39) and 60% 3-PT (6-10).
This is great news for Adam...we wish him much success in Portland.

True irony
Portland Drafted Brandon Roy AFTER Morrison and crowed about their wisdom for more than a couple years after that draft.
Morrison struggled and faded while Roy starred.
Now Roy (injuries) is pretty much done and who do the Blazers find that may replace him??
I love stuff like this. I most sincerely wish Adam realizes his full potential with this team.
Since the Sonics left town I have been looking for a reason to be a Blazers fan. Guess I just found one!
Awesome! Ever since NBA summer league, I have checked the news to see if he had landed anywhere. Very happy for AMMO!
Awesome story Quidveritas~
Anyone remember that there was a radio station in Portland that really wanted the Blazers to draft Adam Morrison? So much so that they started a "Draft The Stache" website and campaign.
He was definately a fan favorite!
GO AMMO!!~
It's gonna be a blast to watch him. I really hope he does well
