According to a tweet by local RipCityRadio620 host Chad Doing, the Portland Trail Blazers are making huge changes to their behind-the-curtain broadcast crew, letting go of long-time crew members Jeff Curtin, Dan Hyatt, and Nick Livingston. Curtin is the longest-tenured of the group, having served the team for nearly three decades as a television producer, the last ten years as the Trail Blazers Director of Broadcasting.

Doing tweets:
