[h1]Heat, Blazers given player exceptions[/h1]By Marc Stein

The Portland Trail Blazers and Miami Heat have been granted disabled player exceptions for Greg Oden and Udonis Haslem, ESPN.com has learned.
Both Oden (knee) and Haslem (foot), after being examined by an independent league-appointed physician, have been deemed to be carrying injuries that will likely sideline them for the remainder of the season.
Portland and Miami, as a result, have received exceptions valued at half of each player's salary.
In the Blazers' case, that amounts to $3,380,262 from Oden's $6,760,524 salary and expires Dec. 30.
Miami's exception is valued at $1.75 million, half of Haslem's $3,500,000 salary, and expires Jan. 6.
League rules allow for such exceptions to be used to acquire only one player, but teams can use them to sign a free agent or to take on salary in trade before the expiration date.
