Howard, a 15-year veteran, played in 42 games last season (three with Denver, 39 with Charlotte) and averaged 4.1 points and 1.8 rebounds. Swift, an 8-year veteran, played in 19 games last season (six with New Jersey, 13 with Phoenix). Both will scrimmage with current Blazers players over the next three weeks, and general manager Kevin Pritchard said he expects the team will sign one, or two, players before training camp starts on Sept. 28. The NBA allows teams to carry as many as 15 players; the Blazers have 12 players under contract, which doesn't include rookie Jeff Pendergraph, who Pritchard said is "getting close" to signing."----http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2009/09/blazers_will_take_a_look_at_ju.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
