Canzano: "Considerable Division" In Blazers GM Search Process?

21
John Canzano of The Oregonian writes that the Portland Trail Blazers search for a new GM isn't going smoothly. ----------------------- Team president Larry Miller and chief operating officer Sarah Mensah have been involved in the preliminary interviews. So has Bert Kolde, a member of Allen's inner circle. And in the past week, with Allen overseas and expecting a recommendation from his hiring panel soon, there's been considerable division among his chief lieutenants. ----------------------- Larry Miller said two weeks ago that team executives has interviewed "more than four" candidates but that none of the candidates have been interviewed by Blazers owner Paul Allen. Miller refused to guarantee that a new GM would be in place when the NBA lockout is finally resolved. -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com | Twitter
