Q is as good as gone.

It is clear that we will not be seeing Q as a Blazer again. He has had more chances than most to, as Q says, "put this behind me". Now he will pay the consequences of his bad choices, something that will hopefully help him more than it hurts him.

Unfortunately, he has devalued himself to the entire league and robbed the Blazers of any chances to trade.

"...There are a lot of factors involved in this,” Brothers says. “You can’t put a timetable on these things. We are moving through the process. It takes time.” The sides are trying to negotiate a settlement.

The Atlanta-based agent has filed a grievance with the NBA Players Association, claiming that the Blazers’ suspension was illegal since the police investigation has yet to result in Woods being charged with a crime. Blazer management believes the suspension is just, citing a pattern of poor conduct by Woods..." Source: Portland Tribune

Is it fair to say that the Blazers are STILL paying for Bob Witsitt's gambles?

UPDATE: . Bloody paw prints found at Wood's home. I truly wish this wasn't happening.
