Blazers, Spanish guard Fernandez reach deal

 
The Portland Trail Blazers have reached an agreement to sign Spanish guard Rudy Fernandez. Fernandez previously announced his intention to join the NBA, but the Trail Blazers could not announce his agreement to sign until Tuesday because of league rules. "Brandon Roy, Greg Oden, LaMarcus Aldridge, I can't wait to play with them," Fernandez said in a statement. "We will do nice things!" Fernandez has played the past seven seasons for DKV Joventut Badalona of the Spanish ACB League. [link]
