In a move Portland is sure to live to regret, Ime Udoka is leaving town. Headed for Texas.
To me, this is similar to the woman who puts her husband through med school and then he dumps her when he becomes a doctor. Lame. Lame. Lame.
Apologies to Udoka, who is no girly-girl, but you get the point. The Blazers think they are all that and a bag of chips, now that Oden is in the picture. So no love for those that got you to this point. Nice.
According to the Oregonian today:
Udoka, who played at Jefferson High School and Portland State, will provide San Antonio with solid long-range shooting, superior perimeter defense and a tireless work ethic.
The Blazers invited him to their training camp last season as an afterthought, but he blossomed into an opening-day starter. He started 75 games at small forward, averaging 8.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, and shot 46.1 percent from the field, including 40.6 percent from three-point range. Before the breakout season, Udoka was a journeyman, making professional stops in Europe, the NBA Development League and the NBA. "He's excited to start the next phase of his career," Cowan said. "He wants to be a Spur for a long time."
This is extremely bad basketball karma. The Blazers better hope Outlaw is a hell of a trophy wife. Those starter wives often get the last laugh.
