    Ainge also stepped down as GM for health reasons. He makes sense as a Jerry West style advisor, but I don't think it makes sense to bring him on as a full time GM. The Blazers now also without McGowen are an organization lacking executive management to share those duties.

    so...if I'm reading that press release right, the Blazers terminated Olshey's contract for cause....?

    I'd imagine a lawsuit is on the way

    it's not happening. Mannix is the only guy repeatedly throwing Ainge's name out there.

    cuz Ainge is overrated, we don't need a guy with local ties, and he's washed. i have no interest in bringing in a retread hack who thought sebastian telfair was > brandon roy. his claim to fame was winning a championship on the backs of his friend kevin mchale gift-wrapping him garnett after Ainge failed to even tank correctly. dude is trash.

    Any way that players or coaches had insight last night into this type of thing happening soon?

    The blowout loss at home to a poor Spurs team seemed unusual even for this underwhelming of a season.

    It was nice success in the beginning....but it didn't show the growth to anything more than that. Then it because stale. While making the Playoffs every year was nice, you want to improve and get better.

    That just wasn't happening.

    I wonder if this would have happened if the Blazers had won by 31 points last night instead of losing by 31?

    Ainge would be a worse hire than Olshey

    Don’t know much about Prince

    Brent Barry would be interesting for spurs connection.

    you really think they fire him because of one loss, and not a month-long investigation involving nearly the entire basketball ops staff including players/ex-coaches/etc?
