Blazers Waive Qyntel Woods After Pleading Guilty To Charge

The Portland Trail Blazers announced today that the club has waived guard/forward Qyntel Woods. The 6-8, 221-pound Woods has been suspended from the team since October 12, 2004 when allegations of animal abuse were first levied against him.

“Qyntel was waived as a result of material breaches of the contract with the Trail Blazers organization and for failure to comply with team rules,” said Trail Blazers President Steve Patterson. “Paul Allen has made a commitment to this community and as I have said from the time I came to this organization, our fans and this city can have the expectation that we will do the right thing. From the moment we were made aware of this disturbing situation, we have acted quickly and in a strong manner by suspending Qyntel and cooperating with authorities. In light of today’s developments, it is clear that the Trail Blazers and Qyntel Woods must part ways. We are confident that this action is both justified and appropriate.”

Woods was a first-round pick (21st overall) by the Trail Blazers in the 2002 NBA draft out of NE Mississippi Community College. In two pro seasons, the 23-year-old Woods played in 115 games and averaged 3.1 points and 1.6 rebounds. He is originally a native of Memphis, Tenn.

what did he do?

Don't you remember when the cops raided his house in connection to dog fights

Hopefully for him he can sign with a team which has some better off the court influences then the Portland Jailbl....Trailblazers

Yeh blame the blazers for him being accused of dogfighting .
Unless the dogs are drug runners, he deserves it.

The million dollar contracts just doesn't buy what it used to I guess.
