Stotts' deal good for Blazers: Terry Stotts’ three-year contract extension with the Portland Trail Blazers, which begins after next season, calls for him to make an average of more than $5 million per season over those three years — though the Blazers hold an option on the last season (2019-20). Portland exercised its option for the 2016-17 campaign, which will pay Stotts about $3.5 million. For the three guaranteed years of the deal, Stotts will reap a total package of roughly $13.5 million, or an average of about $4.5 million. -- The Portland Tribune Great free agents never go to Portland?
