5:01pm - John Canzano - Are you selling the team?

5:03pm - John Canzano - My sources are telling me that the team is for sale, will you confirm?

 

[The_Lillard_King]

5:05 John Canzano- Souces say that you want a current big name GM with experience but no GM with experience wants the job. Is this true?

I can't imagine any other owner doing this, especially one that is a billionaire.

Summary: Paul says the draft picks will in all probability not be traded. He is just starting to watch videos of draft prospects, which he always does. He laughed at the stupid rumors that he's selling the team. He has approached no one. No one has approached him.

Mike Barrett and Wheels remarked after the interview that while local media complain about Paul Allen's unavailability, it was very easy to arrange this 20-minute Skype interview. Wheels just contacted him in the morning, asked whether he was free at 5 pm, and it was on.

I thought that was humorous

(In other words, they were saying that local media are a bunch of negative complainers who just want to create a villain for their hackneyed writing.)

Paul is doing a much better job of getting out front and speaking for himself - instead of allowing certain Portland media outlets to paint their own picture. Much appreciated.
