(Portland, OR) -- The Trail Blazers acquired forward Andrew Nicholson from the Nets for Allen Crabbe in a salary dumping trade. Nicholson, however, will likely never suit up for Portland. The Blazers plan to wave Nicholson and stretch his 21-million-dollar salary across the next seven seasons. The trade would also lower Portland's tax bill from about 48-million-dollars to less than five million.
