Blazers extend QO to Anfernee

[wizenheimer]

It also keeps a cap hold in place, right?

As opposed to not extending a QO to Elleby, which removes the cap hold...?

as I understand it, renouncing the QO simply eliminates Portland's right of first refusal; Elleby is UFA now. But I believe Portland still has Early Bird rights, which keeps the cap-hold (1.97M) in place until/unless the Blazers renounce the EB rights

maybe I have that wrong though

edit: and I wrote that before I saw that cj-is-gone had done a better job of explaining it

blazers shouldnt have send him qo, but instead should have test his loyalty

As with all young athletes his first loyalty is to making as much money as he can while he can.
