One other note concerning the Blazers. As you probably know, Brandon Roy, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Greg Oden were invited to play for the USA Basketball Select Team in Las Vegas this summer. While Oden and Aldridge will play, Roy will not. The Blazers, along with Roy, decided some rest is perhaps more in order, and that certainly seems like a good decision. We have, however, learned that Jerryd Bayless has now received an invitation, and will play on the select team against Team USA. This is huge for Jerryd, as he'll join the group of about 16 players in this prestigious event.

Bayless will once again play for the Blazers in the Las Vegas Summer League, and then will stay and play with the select team. The Blazers will be coached by assistant Joe Prunty in the summer league.
