Free agent Jamal Crawford has agreed to a two-year, $10 million deal to play for the Portland Trail Blazers, sources said. Crawford will have a player option for his second year.

Crawford announced his choice on his Twitter page, posting "Rip city!!!"

Crawford chose Portland over Sacramento, which was offering a two-year deal worth $6.5 million per season, and New York, which offered $5 million over two years, sources said.

The deal had yet to be formally signed. Crawford's agent, Aaron Goodwin, could not immediately be reached for comment Thursday.

An 11-year veteran, Crawford played for the Atlanta Hawks the last two seasons. For his career, he has averaged 15.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists. He won the NBA's Sixth Man award in 2010.

Pretty happy with the signing, we needed another SG after Roy's retirement and I think he'll be a good fit.

The Blazers have decided to use their amnesty clause on Brandon Roy, according to sources.

Portland had to use their amnesty waiver on Roy in order to sign Jamal Crawford to the mid-level exception.

For the contracts that have been handed out it seems 2 years and 10 million is a bargain for him.

Good pick up by Portland. He'll fill the loss of Roy decently.
