#Portland owner #LarryWeinberg said on conclusion of the season in May, "We will either sign Calvin or we will match. We are going to retain him." Natt, a 4-year veteran with the #Blazers, averaged a career-high 20.4 points and pulled down 7.5 rebounds during the 1982/83 season.
Team Captain #JimPaxson offered his thoughts, saying the Blazers could have avoided this contract had they made a commitment to him. "By going the offer sheet route, it's going to cost them more money. An offer sheet usually inflates the worth of a player." Paxson is entering the final year of his contract and is wondering if he'll be in the same situation as Natt in summer of 1984.
July 1, 1983 - The #ClevelandCavaliers have offered FA #CalvinNatt a 6-year contract reportedly worth $4.5M.
The @trailblazers.bsky.social have 15 days to match the offer, which the front office has said they will do.

Paxson finished with 30 points with Natt adding 25 points, and grabbed 14 rebounds, to lead the #Blazers to their 45th win. #WayneCooper grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds, one off his season-best.

#WorldBFree scored 30 points while #CliffRobinson pulled down 23 rebounds, tying his career-high. Robinson, who finished with 18 points, very nearly became the second #Cleveland player to record three 20/20 games in the same season. #ElmoreSmith did so in the 1977/78 season.
With the win, the #Cavaliers avenged a 50-point loss to the #Blazers earlier in the season. Currently 15-42, the #Cavs have matched their win total of last year when they finished with a 15-67 last season.
Owner #TedStepian is in negotiations to sell the club but has put in a "new set of stipulations and demands" to the potential buyer #JohnFerchill. Ferchill has with drawn his offer after the latest demands by Stepian.
February 27 1983 - The #Cavaliers matched their win total from last year with the win today vs the @trailblazers.bsky.social

Playing in his sixth game since a trade brought him to #Portland from the #NewJerseyNets for #MauriceLucas, Natt scored a career-high 39 points. He connected on 11-of-16 FGA and set a team record with 22 FTA. Natt made 16 of his FTA, the same number the #Pistons attempted as a team. In addition, Natt made the only 3-PT FG in the game for either team.
Playing in his 53rd game, Paxson scored 18 points off the bench, hitting 7-of-11 FGA and passed for a game-high, and at the time, a career-best 7 assists. Playing in his 59th game, Jeelani also came off the bench to score 17 points before leaving in the fourth quarter due to a bruised knee.
Making his Blazers, and @NBA , debut, Bates played 3 minutes. He made 1-of-2 FGA and grabbed 2 rebounds. There was speculation by an @Oregonian sports columnist whether Bates would be able to fit into, and contribute, to #JackRamsay's system this late in the season.
February 23 1980 - @trailblazers.bsky.social rookies #CalvinNatt, #AbdulJeelani, and #JimPaxson took over to guide the #Blazers past the #DetroitPistons. Even #BillyRayBates made his debut in the win.

December 11, 1984 - Despite #KikiVandeweghe and #MychalThompson combining for 56 points the @trailblazers.bsky.social dropped a road game when #JimPaxson missed a short jumper as time expired.
