(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.
