    Exactly. The organization was running HIGH in the PR department after getting to the 2nd round after the huge player departures, Damian is quietly becoming a world-known Superstar, and the outlook for next year was "what tweaks can we make to contend against the Warriors?". This has destroyed all of that.

    If he's still with the org, I'm sure he's under a gag order.

    To be MIA, you first have to be In Action. Not to mention they'd probably force him to be tight lipped.

    Oh, Lordy! Big changes bring so much rage at RC2. I do appreciate you all gathering the news in one place and giving me some chuckles this fine Wednesday.

    HCP is reading this thread. I imagine he can't say much.

    So nice of you to return from a self-imposed year-long exile to remind us all what we weren't missing.

    See you next June.

    That personal attack is too complicated for my simple mind. I'm sorry to have irked you so quickly!

    Happy to help! I'm sorry that you haven't been missing the chuckles I can provide. Or were you missing chuckles I do not provide. Like I said... too confusing for me.

    I highly doubt Comcast Sports Net will have any impact on who the next broadcasters are.

    ANYWAY... I am fascinated to see who they bring in. I think that the fears about the broadcasters being brought in on the cheap are reasonable, but until it happens it's more pleasant to think that the franchise has something better in mind.

    And in the ultimate tribute to PapaG, EdO comes back to make the thread about him instead of the Mikes.

    (j/k)

    (and no, that's not a personal attack.)

    (hey, how are things going? I've missed you.)

    I'm thinking a combination of muted television with Wheels on in the background will be the order of the day.

    If that's the motive then McGowan is pretty darned stupid given that Blazers Broadcasting is on the hook for next year's salaries for Barrett and Rice whether they work or not. Seems like if it were a penny-pinching move, they would have waited until after next season to cut them.

    The guy I'm worried about is Wheels. Without a sidekick to calm him down, I'm a little worried that he may stroke out the next time the Blazers have a scoring drought.

    To be announced, yes, but it doesn't go into effect until after next season.
