GM Chris Wallace was on WEEI today and confirmed that the Blazers are paying
his salary for the remainder of this year and for next year, but that the
salary still counts against our cap.

No cap relief there, but that's $5MM/year he won't have to pay out that
Gaston may be willing to put towards re-signing Walker, for those concerned
about that.
