Portland adds a serviceable big man on a low-risk one-year deal. Multiple outlets covered the signing as a depth move rather than transformative news. Carlson's 7-foot frame provides rim protection and spacing, a useful complement. Fans see this as a modest improvement but question impact without major trades. Blazers likely view this as insurance depth while exploring larger roster overhauls.
