    Larry Miller got a better job offer and will make more money doing something else.

    I loev a lot of the hindsight reporting that comes out after something like this.

    Speculation has flourished? Where was it flourishing? Why didn't Ken Berger ever mention it previously, amidst the flourishing speculation?

    Good. Never liked the guy. Not sure why, but he just didn't seem to fit the role.

    And now they are free to hire me as President.

    I'm told Miller played a behind-the-scenes role in Rich Cho joining #Bobcats, after Paul Allen abruptly fired Cho.

    Kind of an odd thing to do, maybe not.

    Probably pulling a Costanza and leaving on a semi high note.

    I see this as good news. Miller always rubbed me the wrong way in press conferences. He may be a nice guy, but he never really seemed to fit as a Blazer staffer. Good luck to him.

    It’s sad to see Larry Miller leave @pdxtrailblazers for another job. A search for his replacement is under way http://t.co/p097Yhxw

    Good option. What is he doing now? Didn't he move back to CA for a new career?
