The move was received well in Portland, where Wells had been vilified for his off-court whining and misdeeds and for his on-court verbal abuse of coach Maurice Cheeks. When Wells would get the ball during home games, boos would echo through the Rose Garden.
Nash is a busy guy these days; he knows the boos won't stop just because Wells is gone. The feeling last offseason in Portland was that, though the Blazers had made a public pledge to clean up their act, they didn't do anything to achieve that end.
When the Blazers hit the court this year, Wells was a crab, Rasheed Wallace andRuben Patterson were practice-missing headaches, and yet another player, Zach Randolph, was arrested on an intoxicants charge.

UTAH OWNER FINED FOR ARGUMENT WITH PORTLAND'S ANTHONY

(AP) - The NBA fined Utah Jazz owner Larry Miller $10,000 Monday for
arguing with Portland guard Greg Anthony during Utah's win over the Trail
Blazers last Friday. The league said Miller made "inappropriate comments"
in the fourth quarter of the game when he told Anthony, who had just
committed a hard foul on John Stockton, he was a "cheap-shot artist."
Anthony replied angrily and walked toward the Jazz owner, and Miller rose
from his courtside seat. After a heated exchange, Anthony backed off. "I
can't repeat the words (Miller said), but I'm going to report him to the
league, because I was told we're not allowed to talk that way out there,"
Anthony told The Oregonian. Anthony also said he would consult with an
attorney and demand a public apology. "I've seen guys who play like that,
and I don't like it," Miller said of Anthony. "I understand hard play, but
it looked like all he was assigned to do was take Stockton out." [...] It
wasn't the first time Miller, the Jazz's owner for the last 14 seasons,
has been involved in controversy. He has had numerous similar run-ins with
opposing players over the years at the Delta Center, and in 1994, Miller
settled out of court with a Nuggets fan he attempted to choke after being
heckled during a playoff game in Denver.
