"We are extremely excited to add this unique blend of character and talent to our roster," Blazers interim general manager Steve Patterson said.

i give them another 4-5 years
the team mcmillan is buildin based on the philosophy when he coach the sonics, basically this jailblazer team is rebuilding, and i dont think miles+zach is part of the future what they are invisioning. The team is still young, but i think if they can sumhow offload one or both of them for an allstar/superstar player, could probaly make them contend earlier than planned. A KG would work.
I read somewhere today that there looking to move both of them this summer.
That's well known.
