Bum foot or not, Martell Webster will be sticking around the Portland Trail Blazers locker room for a while. The team signed the forward to a $20 million extension (over four years). It’s a sigh of relief for Webster. The league has a contract extension deadline that expires tonight. Without a new contract, Webster would have had to wait until the summer to resign.
Aside from leading the team in 3-pointers last season, Webster is considered to be one of the new “good guys” on the squad. After a few rocky years with players’ antics off the court leading to a negative public image, the team is proud of players like Webster, Brandon Roy and Lamarcus Aldridge who are pillars of the community when they aren’t on the hardwood.
