[情報] Blazers ignore the best man for the job
也許波特蘭並沒有對 Petrie 有所動作的原因，是了解這應該是項
不可能完成的任務。 Petrie 1994 年離開波特蘭時球隊的老闆也是
Paul Allen。

Blazers ignore the best man for the job
by Kerry Eggers
Sobering news for those Tribune readers who count themselves
as fans of the Trail Blazers: As of the weekend, nobody representing
the franchise had contacted Sacramento co-owners Gavin and Joe Maloof
for permission to discuss the vacant president and/or general manager
positions with Geoff Petrie.
Petrie, the Kings' president of basketball operations, should be
the Blazers' No. 1 candidate, period. His contract obligates him
to Sacramento for at least two more seasons, and the Maloofs would
want compensation for allowing him to leave, but Petrie can be
obtained at the right price.
The Blazers should get their new GM in place as soon as possible,
so he can help with the NBA draft June 26. Instead, their "Star
Search" approach proceeds at what appears to be a snail's pace.
That's OK if it yields the right person for the job. Why do I have
a growing suspicion that it's not going to be the case?
It could be that the economy has clouded owner Paul Allen's thought
process. Last week, his investment and real estate company, Vulcan
Inc., laid off about 100 employees -- 20 percent of its staff of
about 500. Perhaps Allen intends to wait on his hire of a Blazer
president and GM until late summer to save a little on salary, a
la Donald Sterling, the Scrooge McDuck-like owner of the L.A. Clippers.
