July 7 1971 - The @trailblazers waive guard/forward #ShalerHalimon. Halimon became the 1st #Blazers ever acquired in an in-season trade when he arrived from the @chicagobulls for a future draft pick on Oct. 20, 1970.. Halimon averaged career-highs in points (8.9) and rebounds (5.3) in 79 games with #Portland. Halimon would play a single game with the @ATLHawks in 1971 before jumping to the rival #ABA, where he played 2 seasons with the #DallasChaparrals, where he was a teammate of future Blazers player, and legendary broadcaster, #SteveJones, aka, #SnapperJones. After retiring in 1973, Halimon worked first as a social worker in #SanAntonio, Texas before heading back to Oregon, initially to get his things out of storage. He instead found a job as a driver for @trimet in 1978. He retired from #TriMet in 2012. Halimon joined former teammates @GeoffPetrie, @uograd66, coach #RollandTodd, broadcaster #BillSchonely in 2019 as part of the 50th Anniversary celebration. Halimon passed away on April 19, 2021. #RipCity #ThisDateinBlazersHistory
