    Kris, it sucks that you are leaving and it's even worse that you're leaving to California. Thank you for all of your help, advice, and hard work you put in and the things you put up with.

    Good luck!

    Kris is who set up the Skybox games for us and gives us swag. Really nice guy. He's going to be missed.

    Got to talk with Kris a little bit while shooting around on the court after one of the skybox games. He was a really cool dude. Sucks that he's leaving the organization.

    Hopefully they can get someone as similarly considerate and thoughtful of this message board, for selfish reasons! :D

    He wrote a piece about it (if you didn't click on the link in the tweet) I'll put it here. Hell of a read - about halfway through myself.



    Edit: holy fuck - what a great read.

    It was a great read. I asked him to stop by when he has the time and share some stories.

    He's my new intern at www.instagram.com/blazerfansla

    That agency is a shell corporation for our group.

    But really, he was pretty dope for all things digital and sent us some swag too

    That's great news! We may have had our differences in the past, but honestly, I was a little concerned. I saw the Blazers had a help wanted ad, trying to fill your position. Good luck!

    He had a lot to do with helping this community over the past few years. A terrific person. Sorry to see him leaving the organization, but I also am hopeful he's moving on to much bigger and better things for himself.

    If he's going to the L*kers, I take back all the nice things I've ever said about him.

    (Just kidding)
