Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. "We've been actively trying to get Joel to return to Portland for some time now and we're thrilled with his decision to come back to the Trail Blazers family," said Acting General Manager Chad Buchanan. "Joel is a hard worker, a great teammate and a player that does the little things to help you win, all qualities that will help us down the stretch run." In seven seasons with the Trail Blazers from 2004-11, Przybilla averaged 4.8 points (57.8% FG), 7.3 rebounds, 1.54 blocks and 22.4 minutes in 395 games (273 starts). He ranks fifth on Portland's all-time list with 607 career blocked shots and ranks 13th on the team's all-time rebounding ledger with 2,872 boards. Przybilla, 32, holds career averages of 4.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.48 blocks and 20.3 minutes in 553 games (377 starts) over 11 seasons with Milwaukee, Atlanta, Portland and Charlotte. Originally signed by Portland as a free agent in 2004, Przybilla was traded to Charlotte on Feb. 24, 2011, along with Dante Cunningham, Sean Marks and two conditional first round picks in exchange for Gerald Wallace.http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2012/02/trail_blazers_officially_sign_joel_przybilla.html It's definitely good to see Joel back. Can't wait to watch him play. He's always been one of my favorite underrated players. Adds complete toughness to the team. I like it. Armon Johnson was way to inconsistent. Hopefully he finds a team to play for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
