    The Blazers don't need Mike Born when they have all of us in the forum. We're making a difference!

    I wonder if they'll replace him with someone in-house or hire from another team like the Spurs.

    He's still with the team as Director of College Scouting.

    We can replace him too. All Olshey needs to do is just read this forum. We can tell him everything he needs to know about which players to draft or sign.

    He saw Nolan Smith as a first round talent.

    Neil should've fired him on the spot.

    Also, fleeced New Jersey out of the 6th pick for Gerald Wallace. That alone is a Top 5 move in franchise history.

    Probably messed up and posted a good scouting report on Felton, that will do it!

    It was only a matter of time until Neil decided to bring in some of his own scouts. It's probably to his credit that he gave Born a couple of years to see if he wanted to keep him around.

    Born will probably find a job in Indy with KP.

    I hear S2 is not exercising their option on SPD. Comments? Thoughts? Celebrations?

    Exactly. I blame Obama, too.

    And I blame Sly.

    It's like 2/3 of the board blames Obama, same with S2 and Sly.
