ABOUT THE SOCIETY
Because the world really needed another blog dedicated to the Portland Trail Blazers. We're a group of journalists and fans who've grown up with--or have grown to love--Oregon's only professional franchise (and this won't change when MLS comes to town). Plus we're convinced that--if given the chance--we could totally hit the Toyota halfcourt shot. Until then, we're stuck here in the Portland Roundball Society.

Paul Allen Releases Meager Statement

Via Trailblazers.com:

The Trail Blazers made a change in the vice president of basketball operations position, and that’s all. Decisions like this are made at the top levels of Blazer management, and are not made unless we have good reason, have worked through the issues involved, and feel we should make an immediate change.

We are not going to make any more long-term decisions today. When the season ends we will evaluate how best to move the Trail Blazers forward. That’s no different than the way we have operated for the past 21 seasons.

I support everyone who works for me, including Kevin Pritchard, and that’s why he’s our general manager. We all have the same goal — to bring another NBA Championship to the great fans of Portland.

Sorry to say, but it’s not going to quiet the general fear and outrage over Kevin Pritchard’s tenuous future.

The statement says he supports KP...he also has to negotiate any contract that is extended. This is all part of business.

On the basketball operations side of life, my respect for Paul Allen is hanging by a thread. I always hear "we have the best owner is sports," but deep pockets obviously doesn't equate to great wisdom. I'm now wondering who committed the bigger fumble - KP with Turk, or the Vulcans with KP. *When* they dismiss KP, they better not cite management skills, or lack thereof, because that would expose them as giant hypocrites. KP has flaws, but Allen, Bert Kolde, and the Vulcans have more.

That said a whole lot of nothing.
