Luke Jackson > Koponen
Rip City Project | A Portland Trailblazers blog —
Over on OregonLive, it's being reported that Luke Jackson will be added to the Blazers pre-season roster getting that coveted #15 spot. This has not been confirmed by the team. I meanwhile scratch my head. I mean really??? Not because of a lack of talent from Luke Jackson. I've always ...
Rumors and Free Agent Updates - Lots of Guard Rumors Edition
LOY's PLACE a celtics green blog —
... Another former Celtic (although very briefly), Luke Jackson has been working out for the Blazers and reports are that he will sign with them and become the 15th player on their roster going into training camp. Jackson can score and is good from beyond the arc, but he is a defensive liability. Still he would be good for a team that needs instant offense off the bench. ...
Ghosts of Cavs Busts Past: Luke Jackson Returns to Oregon
Cleveland Cavaliers —
... Now, Luke Jackson - former GM Jim Paxson’s final bust in his tenure in Cleveland - has found a home. Rather, is returning home. Jackson, the 10th overall pick in the 2004 draft, will return to his home state of Oregon, where he played college ball. That’s because the Portland Trail Blazers signed Jackson to their preseason roster on Tuesday, where he’ll be the 15th man. He’ll be joining a team that already has a logjam at the guard and small forward positions, with 2008 NBA All-Star Brandon Roy, rookie first-rounder Jerryd Bayless, Spanish import Rudy Fernandez, incumbent ...
Petteri Koponen packs his sunscreen, heads to Italy
Deceptively Quick —
... . Although we at DeceptivelyQuick are sad Koponen won't be with the team this season (especially if they sign Luke Jackson to that last spot instead, dear God man!), there is reason to be happy. Apparently the contract is reasonably buy-outable (new word, exciting!) if Portland wants to bring him over before the four seasons are up. The Finnagler will also face some tough competition to be sure, which is really something he needs at this point. ...
Luke Jackson reportedly to fill Blazers' final pre-season spot
NBA Noise —
... In what is still an unconfirmed report, Luke Jackson has been working out at the Blazers practice facility and will occupy the final spot on the Blazers' pre-season roster. Jackson, who is certainly a fan favorite in Oregon from his college days with the Ducks, has had somewhat of a lackluster career after struggling with injuries and failing to stick with a team. Selected 10th in the 2004 draft, I remember being bummed that he didn't fall to the Blazers, who were picking at 13. Now Jackson may have a chance to finally land where some would have liked to have him in the first ...
