    I'm not so sure about that.

    Her bio says she left comcast to work for blazers broadcasting as a sideline reporter and host....she's listed on the blazers home site broadcasting page with the other broadcasters...Casey works in the media dept and is in a different job description but from what I saw...both are employed by the team...her wiki page sites when she joined the Blazers from comcast

    Eh....... I'm fairly certain that MB was doing his NO BULL Wilsonville Toyota commercials while he was working for the team.

    It's like the team gives zero fucks about quality or fan approval.

    She works offseason gigs for sports events....and is free to. Orlando Williams does as well...he's a sports agent when he's not broadcasting for the team...lot of broadcasters call baseball games after the hoops season ends as well. I don't think that's an issue...

    Exactly what I'm saying, she works for Blazer Broadcasting. Casey works for the Blazers.

    Yes, again, exactly what I'm saying.

    HCP works for Blazer broadcasting and is free to work other gigs.

    Casey works for the Blazers and is not free to pick up other gigs.

    Yes, exactly. Just like Schonz did endorsement gigs when he worked for the Blazers as a broadcaster.

    Blazers broadcasting has it's own page on the team website....it includes all broadcasters...Mike and Mike were there before....in my view that's working for the Blazers broadcasting branch...Casey works for Blazers media branch...in my understanding these are both divisions of the Blazers franchise and not subcontracted positions....Brook is on the same team with Lamar Hurd, Jordan Kent and Michael Holton.....not Dwight Jaynes or Joe Freeman....they are employed by other organizations..

    Okay? And now you understand why what you originally said was wrong about Casey.

    Casey gets paid, year around. Brook doesn't.

    Oh, I think I'm confused. So you're separating out the two. I'm not sure how the broadcasting side of things work. The website and Casey is through the Blazers corporate side of things. It's a 100% of the time gig. Broadcasting goes on hiatus I think during the offseason, but then again I'm not sure because they did things like "courtside." I'm not super familiar with their contract structure.

    Casey is on salary.(I'm going with your assertion here) ..Brooke might be a wage worker....not sure but they are listed as members of the Portland Trailblazers, not another company

    I didn't actually know Casey was on salary but I knew he didn't like working offseason when he didn't have to.

    YES!

    They work for separate divisions within the Blazers.

    Not quite sure that Casey is paid all year around though....school teachers on salary don't get paid in the offseason....I know he usually prepares for draft coverage but we haven't had much life in the draft now for a couple seasons.

    I never said she didn't work for the Blazers.

    Lillard works for the Blazers. But the terms of how he is paid is different than someone who works in the office.

    do you know if they are employees of Blazer Broadcasting or sub-contractors?
