Kerry Eggersof thePortland Tribunereports that the Trail Blazers arediscussing naming rightsfor the Rose Garden with a Spanish company. -------------------- Discussions are ongoing with the Trail Blazers and Iberdrola – the world’s largest renewable energy operator headquartered in Spain – about naming rights at the Rose Garden. But any deal is likely connected to Portland Arena Management’s Rose Quarter development rights, which expire on May 24. As for a naming-rights contract at Paul Allen’s palace, it’s inevitable. I just hope the "Rose Garden" can continue to be incorporated in the name. Nothing is more fitting in the City of Roses. -------------------- Here's a link toIberdrola's USA website. -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com |Twitter

(Teammate Mike Anderson seemed to confirm the news in a tweet on Saturday afternoon) ---------------------- Portland's roster stood at 14 players after the team signed Jarron Collins to a second 10-day contracton Friday. The Blazers signed Johnson to a 10-day contracton Jan. 24but elected not to give him a second 10-day contractin February. Johnson was also signed by the Celtics to a 10-day contract but wasn't retained because the Celtics needed the roster spot for their waiver wire signings. Johnson averaged 2 points and 2 rebounds in 2 appearances with the Blazers.
