Joel Przybilla deciding on team Wednesday

US PresswireFree-agent center Joel Przybilla and his 7-1 frame have spent 11 seasons in the NBA, playing for the Milwaukee Bucks, Portland Trail Blazers, Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Bobcats.

Now he's a wanted man and his decision is expected to come Wednesday on whether he wants to join the Portland Trail Blazers, where he spent most of seven seasons; the Miami Heat; the Chicago Bulls; or the Milwaukee Bucks, where the Minnesota native spent the first three full seasons of his career, according to the Oregonian.

There is also a chance, the paper notes, that Przybilla could remain "idle at his home in Milwaukee, where he is an All-Star father to his two sons."

Przybilla's agent, Bill Duffy, suggested that the Blazers have a special spot in his client's heart: "I think Portland is always the sentimental favorite for obvious reasons," Duffy said, according to the paper. "Joel has a home here and he had the best years of his career here. And at this particular time, it looks like he is needed, too."

    So why is there a picture of Bobcats' assistant coach Rob Werdann in an article about Joel Przybilla? Oh well, keep it up yahoo!

    Why do you have a picture of some random white dude in this article??? Is this the same nitwit that in the past when reporting on Travis Outlaw would post a pic of Bo Outlaw???

    I never in my life expected Joel Przybilla to be a "wanted man" in the NBA. Why isnt Rashad McCants on an NBA roster? He can fill up the cup

    I really like Joel while he was in Portland. A great guy and a real professional. Great community guy. Sadly, Joel...if you want your best shot to get a ring...go to Miami and get one or two there. Then you can come finish your career in Portland.

    I sure dont want a Bucks asst coach on the Bulls
  • JoshS  •  Orlando, Florida  •  2 months ago
    He joined Portland...I'm guessing he doesn't feel that he is capable of playing a significant role (Miami or Bucks), so he just choose what he's use too (Portland) over Chicago...ohh well Heat now need to look into bringing in Fesenko (same style of play, only 1knee injury, cheap, big, and younger).
  • Josh R  •  Southfield, Michigan  •  2 months ago
    join the heat..we need a center.
    • LAS 2 months ago
      he doesnt need your heat
  • JoshS  •  Orlando, Florida  •  2 months ago
    Want plenty of playing time? Join the Bucks

    Want some playing time and an opportunity to make it out of the first round in the playoffs? Join Portland

    Willing to barely play but get an opportunity to make it past the second round of the playoffs? Join Chicago

    Want an opportunity to possibly become a starter or at least get solid playing time, all while having the highest chance of winning a ring? The OBVIOUS choice is Miami.
  • Jack  •  Elmhurst, Illinois  •  2 months ago
    I meant Bobcats.

    Pretty sure that a guy like him isn't going to play just to play. I imagine he's after a ring, and if that's the case, it'll be with the Heat or Bulls.
  • jun  •  Manila, Philippines  •  2 months ago
    join the bulls
  • oripunk3485  •  2 months ago
    Join the Heat, get deep in the playoffs, and then watch LeBron choke under pressure. Of course, you could see the same thing just by staying at home and watching TV.

    I'm pretty sure that's not a picture of Joel.. looks like Rob Werdann, an assistant coach for the Bobcats. You might want to change that.
