The roster begins to fill before cut-downs.
The Portland Trail Blazers have signed veteran forward MarJon Beauchamp, plus 7-footer Liam Robbins and scoring wing Javonte Cook to undisclosed deals, per a release from the team this morning. Given the timing of the contracts, it’s reasonable to assume that the trio have been recruited for training camp and will battle for permanent positions on the team.
The Blazers announced the following:
