#Blazers opted not to exercise option year on Mike Born, Director of NBA Scouting, sources inform @CSNNW. He's no longer with organization.

The Blazers don't need Mike Born when they have all of us in the forum. We're making a difference!

 

[riverman]

So the Blazers will NOT be known as Born again

I wonder if they'll replace him with someone in-house or hire from another team like the Spurs.

What ever happened to Chad Buchanon?

He's still with the team as Director of College Scouting.

He's still with the team as Director of College Scouting.

Hmmm...I wonder for how much longer?

Not much if he suggested Meyers Leonard for the #11 pick!

 

[Mediocre Man]

So now we know who scouted Leonar_

We can replace him too. All Olshey needs to do is just read this forum. We can tell him everything he needs to know about which players to draft or sign.

He saw Nolan Smith as a first round talent.

Neil should've fired him on the spot.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Yes

Many of us are arrogant enuff for the job!

Also, fleeced New Jersey out of the 6th pick for Gerald Wallace. That alone is a Top 5 move in franchise history.

 

[PDXFonz]

Probably messed up and posted a good scouting report on Felton, that will do it!

 

[Nikolokolus]

It was only a matter of time until Neil decided to bring in some of his own scouts. It's probably to his credit that he gave Born a couple of years to see if he wanted to keep him around.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Born will probably find a job in Indy with KP.

I hear S2 is not exercising their option on SPD. Comments? Thoughts? Celebrations?

I blame Obama.

 

[PDXFonz]

I blame Obama.

In soviet Russia, Obama blames you!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I blame Obama.

Exactly. I blame Obama, too.

And I blame Sly.

It's like 2/3 of the board blames Obama, same with S2 and Sly.

What does a scout have to do with us trading a vet for a pick? Born doesn't get credit for that.
