Przybilla accepts five-year deal to stay with Blazers By Marc Stein ESPN.com One more top free-agent is off the market: Joel Przybilla has decided to stay with the Portland Trail Blazers. Przybilla's agent, Bill Duffy, told ESPN.com that the 26-year-old has verbally agreed to sign a five-year deal with the Blazers believed to be worth more than $30 million. Przybilla also had strong interest in Chicago, but the Bulls landed the No. 1 center available when they agreed to a four-year deal Monday with Detroit's Ben Wallace worth an estimated $60 million. The Pistons, in turn, reached a verbal agreement Tuesday with San Antonio free-agent center Nazr Mohammed, but Przybilla -- who drew feelers from the Spurs and a handful of other clubs -- chose to stay where he is. "Joel said all along that loyalty is important to him," Duffy said. "It means a lot to him that Portland gave him a chance two years ago when no one else did. His relationship with the Blazers and [general manager] Kevin Pritchard were very important factors." http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2509340 合同内容大约是5年30 million Przybilla其实还是对前往芝加哥公牛很有兴趣， 但公牛签了他们的第一志愿BIG BEN之後自然不会再和Przybilla签约， 而在Przybilla争夺战中另有马刺、活塞两只主要的竞争对手， （其实还有骑士等队也对他有兴趣） 但後来拓荒者来是以较高的价码争取到他， 除了价码之外，Przybilla的好朋友同时也是拓荒者的代理GM-Kevin Pritchard 也是一个很重要的因素。 Kevin Pritchard和总裁Steve Patterson从选秀当天开始， 即有一连串改革的行动，看来他们势在必得的样子， 当然背後的推手同时也是拓荒者的大老板Paul Allen也是功不可没， 要交易要砸钱买人，也要有人点头嘛XD 国外有球迷也说了：Allen看起来一点都不像是要卖球队的样子！ 的确也是有点道理在XD 也希望接下来的交易案无论时谁交易出去， 或是谁被交易进来都能有好的成果表现出来！ --
