Portland to buy out Francis contract?

Okay the Blazers had it all going on.  Plus they had Randloph in hand, love him or not he's 20/10 trade bait.  Frye and Francis for Randolph and Fred Jones.  NNNNyyya okay, seems like they could have done better but maybe Frye is ready to break out and Francis could become a team role player (Hey, Big Dog with 2005 Championship Spurs).  Or maybe they could trade Francis.  No who would take that huge salary on for two more years.  Cuban?  He's got guards.

So Portland is going to buy out Francis contract?  They just gave up Randoph for Frye, and are paying 34 million to let Francis become a free agent?

What??
