We all know Canzano is NEVER around this team. Barely goes to home games, and likes to stir up shit just so people will listen to his radio show. But according to ESPN he is an "INSIDER" What a fucking joke!
Pritchard next on Vulcans hit list?

Many around the NBA are curious about the reason why the Blazers fired Tom Penn on Tuesday. There is a lot of speculation, but not a lot of facts have come out because none of the parties are talking. One of the most astonishing bits of news that did came out of Portland yesterday is that Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard could be the next to go once the season is over.
"They can't do Kevin in the middle of the season, but they can do a drive-by on someone close to him," Warren LeGarie, the agent for Penn and Pritchard told The Oregonian's John Canzano. "But guess who would be next?"
"They" are in reference to owner Paul Allen and people who work at his company, Vulcan Inc. in Washington.
According to Canzano: "When the Blazers were a lottery team the people who worked for Allen at the mothership in Seattle viewed the organization as his little basketball hobby. But after making the playoffs last season, and looking as though they could be a factor, there was some internal jockeying at Vulcan that left the Blazers as a more important piece of the pie. They've become more visible and active in and around One Center Court."
Pritchard is signed though next season and has a club option for 2011-12.
