Trail Blazers sign Trendon Watford sign to a multi-year contract + Drew Eubanks gets a 10-day deal

It was a transaction heavy Monday for the Portland Trail Blazers as the team inked Trendon Watford to a multi-year contract. Watford, who had been on a two-way deal, signed a real NBA contract that keeps him in Portland at least through next season and potentially two more after that one. It's good news for Watford but it's a deal structure that greatly benefits the team.

Portland also added a homegrown big man to the roster as Drew Eubanks, of Reynolds High in Troutdale and Oregon State University, reportedly will sign a 10-day contract with the Blazers. Eubanks was waived by Toronto after the trade deadline and ends up in Portland as big man insurance on a team that could use some frontline depth. If nothing else, it's a cool story for a young man who grew up playing high school hoops about 25 minutes from the arena.

Finally, the Blazers filled Watford's vacated two-way spot with point guard Brandon Williams. The point guard was with the Blazers early this season on a 10-day deal in December and now joins the team as some point guard insurance on a two-way contract that gives the team a chance to get a closer look at him for the remainder of this season and potentially next year as well.
