    Not sure why?

    Portland is so white. Most of the people watching are white males.

    And as a joke, the last four black guys in profile positions...Harvey, Mo, Nate, Larry were all horrible. ...just sayin

    The city needs to check its privlege?

    How about a black transgender muslim and an empowered full figured female.

    or are they busy filming Ghostbusters 2?

    The players aren't "so white."

    If you want to be able to attract top FAs, you have to create an environment that is attractive to top FAs.

    And that's the commentators?

    Listen, I have no issue AT ALL, if they hire, hypothetically, a black pbp guy or girl and Doris Burke, for example, if they are the best choices. IMO, that wouldn't be better than what they just had though, and would bring nothing to the table for FA's

    Yep. It depends on who they bring in.

    Do you think Mychal Thompson would leave a radio gig to be a tv announcer?

    I was thinking about Thompson. Maybe? He moved back to Portland after his playing career. How would fans receive him? He's pretty Laker brainwashed.

    Would he leave his two kids playing in California?

    Yep, and unless I am completely overlooking someone, I can't think of any that are complete no brainers.

    I'm happy to wait and see how this unfolds. The Blazers are still a quality organization.

    Until someone posts a link regarding their decision being about the Seattle media market, this notion needs to be dispelled with. It's purely speculation.

    The snapper gets my vote. But ONLY if Bill Walton is added. They can both do color. Who would be the ref.. er... play by play guy?
