PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- The Portland Trail Blazers have laid off three longtime executives.
The Blazers announced the layoffs on Thursday, about a month after Chris McGowan became the new team president.
Chief financial officer Gregg Olson had been with the Blazers for 10 years. Michele Daterman, who was the senior vice president of tickets and marketing, and Traci Reandeau, formerly the senior vice president of human resources, both had been with the team for some 18 years. Daterman helped develop Portland's ''New Team, New Dream'' slogan.
Chief operating officer Sarah Mensah resigned last week.
 
Vulcans. Time for others to whine about the media creating this mess, and how stable Paul Allen is as an owner.
 
Judging by Canzano's article, I'd say they were all "sources" :grin:
 
The Portland Trailblazers have 33 different vice presidents each earning over 200 thousand dollars a year. Now, I have spent the last two months analyzing what all these guys do, and I still can't figure it out. One thing I do know is that our basketball team lost 110 million dollars last year, and I'll bet that half of that was spent in all the paperwork going back and forth between all these vice presidents. The new law of evolution in the National Basketball Association seems to be survival of the unfittest. Well, in my book you either do it right or you get eliminated.
 
What happened to all the people saying BlazersEdge article was a crock?
 
The new guy wants his own hires. Now if only the medical staff didn't own the entitlement of lifelong appointments, we'd be in business.
 
Ha, that is funny, the medical staff are the only ones to survive! Seems like the more you fail, the longer you stick with the Blazers.....

No, it's the opposite of an invisible background bureaucracy. It's McGowan taking charge and creating his own hierarchy. But you and Canzano will somehow say that this shows that the owner interferes too much in what he owns. You guys should get real jobs where you own something.

If you guys raised your games and could understand my Einstein-like pronouncements, you'd realize that you always agree with me.

If you want to play Einstein, jlprk, you have to publish your equations like he did. No math, no proof.
 
For decades I didn't write my thoughts, figuring I'd get killed if I did. Then I discovered basketball message boards, where I can act like an ordinary guy. It relieves my craving to write.

Was this a parody?
 
I'm guessing it's the ironic and deceptive 'greed is good' speech from the movie Wall Street. Haven't seen it in a long time.
 
That makes 1 guy and 3 women "let go" by the Blazers this fall.

Somebody must be scared of girls.
