Very strange and interesting story out of Portland, especially after seeing recent pics of Kemp who looks to be in excellent shape. Kemp will be waived by the Blazers and has agreed to forfeit over $25 million of his guaranteed contract. I could only hope that maybe he would want to come back to Seattle and play with GP again. But I have a feeling he is just tired of the pressure and doesnt want to be a hated athlete in Portland. Come back to Seattle and Legalize Kemp!

i found it curious that he'd forfeit 25 million bucks of a guaranteed contract, too. of course, the blazers will still be paying him about 20 mill over the next ten years, so shawn will have money for big macs.
still, why forfeit all that dough? is there going to be a chapter two here? i really don't care unless he lands in boston!

Nate doesnt think Shawn will fit in to the Sonics situation of building with young players. Plus his off court problems could hinder the team also. Meanwhile the Sonics have got DMase signed through 2004 and Sesay for 2 more years. Rashard and the Sonics dont seem to be in a hurry to get anything signed yet though.
