During the summer of 2010, the Trail Blazers took a long look at free agent point guard Raymond Felton before deciding he didn't fit on the roster financially. A year later, Felton has joined the Blazers after a draft-day trade with Denver. Felton said he's looking to make the Blazers his team for years to come. "I want something long term here and I definitely look forward to that situation," Felton said. "But I've got one year left on my deal, and that's all I'm worried about." The 6-foot-1 Felton has played for three teams during his six-year NBA tenure, including five with Charlotte. He signed last summer with New York before being dealt to the Nuggets in the Carmelo Anthony trade. Felton, 27, is viewed as a point guard with an ability to jump-start a running game in Portland, a team he described as "a slow-paced, half-court team." That's not to say the Blazers can't change, or that Felton can't change his game. "I'm a point guard that is able to push the ball up the court, but I can also run a half-court team," he said. "Playing with coach Larry Brown for two years definitely made me that type of player."
