Basic content of the opening rant: Didn't abuse press credentials--nephew attended because he purchased tickets Picture "with Steph Curry" was during warm-ups, with Curry in the background. Canzano wasn't involved. "Team Chemistry" and "Organizational Culture" are two different things. Second doesn't require locker-room time.
To be fair, he only said he was concerned about the possibility of his nephew receiving comments about Olshey's rant.
He was contrasting the Blazers with the Warriors players who apparently did shake Moda security guards hands after game 4.
When I've had a press pass to Blazer games the players never shook my hand. I'm really upset now! Rice did, it's probably what got him fired.
The call screener is awesome! Next caller is congratulating Canzano for taking the high road for all of this.
Next caller: "Olshey sounds really phony when he talks. He's a phony, you should stay away from him." Canzano: "Olshey is worried about his next job."
Yeah, that was pretty amusing. "My nephew-in-foster-care might get bullied because of Olshey" is certainly taking the high road.
Caller: "Olshey owes you an apology for talking about your family. And he has a responsibility to come out and address the Blazers' culture."
Caller: "The culture issues that you commented about are the same issues that existed with previous GM's. The only constant is Paul Allen. He is the reason for the toxic culture in the Blazers' organization."
Canzano: "I've been around winners (dropped 20 different names). Winning culture is easy to spot. The Blazers' culture is very different from a winning culture."
