I still think it’s hilarious that mr culture got fired for his treatment of others LOL...couldn’t make this shit up. As for his actual job as a GM, I was always indifferent but I can’t help but feel more optimistic now that he’s gone. Just hope the next guy takes more swings.
I like the idea that they sat him down to tell him that he was fired and he said, "Look..." and they said, "We've already looked into a lot of things." Then Neil said, "Listen..." and they said, "We've already listened to a lot of people." And then they told him he was fired and he had no one to condescend to. The End.
The worst GM in Blazer history. Dame’s prime won’t survive getting out of his mess that he left behind.
At present, I think its the worst ownership in the NBA. But if they hire the right new GM, maybe second worst?
Um, they're not under investigation for racist comments and sexism in the work place, like the Suns, nor are they going on stretch of 9 straight years of missing the playoffs like the kings, nor are they James Dolan...
I considered all that but, since Pauls passing they've nothing more than a cash cow for the Vulcans and if these personnel complaints about Neil never surfaced he's still be in total control. For me when they blatantly removed Mike & Mike the way they did, and have screwed around with Blazer Broadcast's and really never communicate directly with the Portland fans, has soured me on them. At least Paul would communicate occasionally with Portlanders about the team. Just not a big fan of the centralized operation from Seattle. The Suns owner is I believe part owner and being pressured to divest from what Ive heard on the radio?
ah, you're a Mike & Mike homer. Which was done under Paul Allen. Again, not even remotely the worst ownership group in the NBA. Waited too long to can Stotts and Olshey. Yeah. missed out on some drafts? Sure. But so have the majority of ownership groups.
yeah even the “good” ownerships have their own issues. For example, the Mavs. We have it pretty good, relatively speaking, if our main issue is how they handled the firing of the broadcast team lol. I’d also rather have an ownership group stick with a guy too long than one have turnover anytime adversity hits. That’s not a winning formula either.
