Breaking News: Jay Jensen and Blazers part ways

[illmatic99]

From Quick
This is huge.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

A few years too late, IMO.

He's no longer the luckiest....

 

[illmatic99]

Think you're thinking of Bobby Medina.

 

[Chuck Taylor]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lillard's career just got extended 3 years

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Hopefully Bobby Medina stays.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick - Athletic trainer Jay Jensen has confirmed that he and the Trail Blazers have parted ways after 19 seasons

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick - Blazers GM Neil Olshey: "We thank Jay (Jensen) for his 19 years of service with the team and wish him well in his future endeavors.''

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Throw that money at some of those PHX Trainers.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

lol, they "future endeavored" him.

 

[julius]

I'm almost sad.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick - On Jay Jensen: I covered team for 13 of Jay's 19 years in Portland. He is one of the most loyal, compassionate and competent people I know

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick - On Jensen: Have I heard complaints? Yes, one current and two former. But I don't have enough fingers to count how many players stand by him

 

[KingSpeed]

About. Damn. Time. Tell me this doesn't affect my Bobby though.

You mean the guy who put all that muscle on a big man who was trying to rehab from MF surgery? Why would it??

Interesting. Wonder who the current player is?

 

[Natebishop3]

Interesting. Wonder who the current player is?

Well we know one of the "former" players is Damon and probably Roy.

Maybe Wes? Who is Quick close to?

Did Damon not like him? Wasn't aware at all.

Can see Wes, he's been dinged up his entire time here. Only other thought was Aldridge or Batum, because nobody else has really been here long enough, I wouldn't think, to have much of an opinion.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Maybe Lillard ran him out of town like Roy ran Z-bo out of town?

Oh I assumed that the complaints were in regard to him being let go. You might be right.

 

[RR7]

Oh, gotcha. I was thinking it meant...I've heard complaints about Jay from 3 people, but way more players have been complimentary.

 

[KingSpeed]

Read the last sentence of that tweet. "...(many many people) stand by HIM." Not the decision to fire him.

 

[maxiep]

I wondered why my knee felt better this morning. Now I know.

 

[BBert]

Better late than never. Better five years ago than now.

As for the 'current' complaint, I'll guess LaMarcus (he's seen his chance for a dynasty derailed by injuries to potential HOF teammates) or Batum (been dinged up a lot and seen the same thing).

 

[Darkwebs]

Letting Kaleb Canales go and now Jay Jensen? Sounds like a good start to the off-season for the Blazers.

Out with the old, in with the new.

 

[illmatic99]

Wonder if this affects our ability to draw FAs.

I wouldn't doubt if our chances just got better.

My bunions and my toe wart shrunk since I started this thread. Now, we can safely re-sign Oden without risk.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Competent people in charge. Nice to see.

 

[magnifier661]

Maybe oden comes back?

I do not think it matters unless we make a huge splash like Tim Grover.
