The Portland Trail Blazers today signed ex-Clippers point guard Jeff McInnis to a three year contract, blazers.com is reporting.  McInnis is set to join newly acquired Antonio Daniels and Damon Stoudamire in the Blazers backcourt, something that excites Portland officials.

?We are very pleased to announce the signing of Jeff McInnis,? said GM Bob Whitsitt. ?Since the beginning of the off season, we have said we wanted to address our size and depth in the backcourt. Jeff and Antonio Daniels, who we acquired last week, give us two players who fulfill that need. We believe Damon Stoudamire, Jeff and Antonio give us great stability, depth and experience in the backcourt. We believe we have definitely upgraded this area for next season.?

?I'm very excited to have Jeff join our team,? said Blazers Head Coach Maurice Cheeks. ?Jeff and Antonio give us two big bodies in our backcourt that make us that much tougher in this area. Jeff is a big guard who can defend and run a basketball team and regardless of who plays, we feel very comfortable with the players we will have on the court.?

Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
