Let’s hear it for the underdog! Today it was announced the Portland Trailblazers signed former-Celtics point guard, Phil Pressey for a short-term deal.
As Trailblazers’ reporter Casey Holdahl tweets:
Trail Blazers sign forward Cliff Alexander AND point guard Phil Pressey. By my count, the Blazers have 14 players under contract.
While it’s still unclear whether Pressey’s contract is guaranteed or not, most reports – at this point – have suggested that it is indeed, guaranteed.
Pressey, at 24 years old, will be a welcomed addition to a Trailblazers team on the brink of a rebuild.
