Candidate #4 is Tony DiLeo who currently works with the 76ers. http://www.nba.com/sixers/front_office/tony_dileo.html
Actually, I posted Dileo before Blazer Freak did. I just meant that the first three were made obvious and have been discussed for some time now.
Me, and some of the Blazers beat writers. Don't think he's a top candidate in the group, though. Google "Blazers interview Dileo" and you'll see all sorts of articles on it.
I can't find the link now but it was from Twitter and on the PTB website saying that DiLeo was the 4th candidate. However, this link seems to make it sound like Morway, Bower, Olshey and DiLeo were the 4 to interview with PA but only 3 of them are finalists. Hopefully Bower is the one that has been eliminated. http://www.portlandtribune.com/sports/print_story.php?story_id=133832967617525200
John Canzano @JohnCanzanoBFT One Paul Allen confidant is pushing internally for Neil Olshey. Take it for what it's worth.
John Canzano @JohnCanzanoBFT Can't see Indiana GM David Morway staying in this Blazers GM search much longer.
I highly doubt any "PA confident" is telling Crapzano anything. I honestly think 100% that Crapzano just makes stuff up based on what he thinks people will believe just so it appears he knows something relavent.
It could very well be the case. I mean that's what guys like Barrett do, but it could also very well be that Canzano is talking to someone who a PA confident would talk to
Barrett has legit sources, he talks with Born, Buchanon, etc. Crapzano has burned so many bridges that he know has to call the Rose Garden garbage man for his inside info.
I wish that Canzano would win another award so he could get a job offer in a bigger market and get the hell out of Portland. I was listening to his show a bit in my car yesterday and the dufus was ripping on the Blazers for past draft "mistakes" (which is fine as far as it goes), but he seemed to have no clue that Victor Claver was still the Blazers' property or that they plan on bringing him over for a look this summer (which is just plain embarrassing for a columnist who writes about the Blazers).
You guys mock Canzano, and for good reason, but he mentioned DiLeo yesterday morning as one of the candidates that met with Paul Allen. He has more clues than some give him credit for
Considering his position, he should have a lot more clues than he does. There are several people scattered on a few Blazers boards that have more "inside" information than he does.
Rookie? Check the join date. Oh, and Olshey just reupped with the Clips. Wonder what happens next? Here comes Morway and Shaw.
