Zaza Pachulia, captain of the Georgian national basketball team, may continue career in “Portland Trail Blazers”. www.csnnw.com spreads this information. According to this internet portal, the negotiations have already started and as the interest is bilateral, the dialogue will start in the next few days.

In the previous season “Blazers” had one of the worst defenses in NBA. The Georgian center plays well in defense. So, “Blazers” plan to strengthen this line.

“Pachulia does not have many block-shots but knows how to play in defense. He has tough fouls that cause good result”, - Comcast Sportsnet supposes that Zaza will be a lineup center not a substitute.

The 28-year-old Pachulia spent the last 8 seasons in “Hawks”. His average result was 6.8 points and 5.5 rebounds. Zaza stated many times that Atlanta is his second home. Today, on 1 July he became a free agent. So, he waits for a lot of interesting offers.

“Blazers” is very active. It also plans to transfer Chris Kaman. The German basketball player played for “Dallas Mavericks” in the previous season. Now he is a free agent too.
