Blazers re-sign Outlaw to three-year deal

Posted by The Oregonian July 17, 2007 14:47PM

The Trail Blazers made good on their promise to retain free agent Travis
Outlaw, signing the 22-year-old small forward to a three-year contract
Tuesday afternoon.

Details of the deal were not immediately available but Bill Duffy, Outlaw's
agent, told The Oregonian that the contract is worth roughly $12 million.
Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard refused comment.

"Travis is really excited with where the team is going, with the direction
and enthusiasm, and he wants to play a great role in that and continue to
develop," Duffy said. "Quite frankly, Travis was not pushing me that hard to
look in other directions."

Duffy said "three or four" teams expressed interest in Outlaw, a restricted
free agent who averaged 9.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 22.9 minutes per game
last season. The 6-foot-9 player, who will enter his fifth professional
season in 2007-08, did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.

Outlaw, who was drafted by the Blazers out of high school with the 23rd
overall pick in 2003, is expected to compete for the starting small forward
position next season. He has started 14 games in his career.

Because Outlaw was a restricted free agent, the Blazers had the opportunity
to match offers from other teams, and Pritchard and coach Nate McMillan had
said for weeks that they planned to match any such offer. Turns out that
won't be necessary.

"He has a chance to start and solidify himself," Duffy said. "He's
comfortable with Nate and they're comfortable with him. It's a good fit."
