The end of a memory filled era is upon us.
Brian Wheeler, the longtime Portland Trail Blazers radio play-by-play voice, will not be returning to the position for the 2019-20 season, according to a press release by the organization’s official website.
Wheeler, or “Wheels” to most Trail Blazers’ fans, has been in the role for 21 seasons. He is one of two radio voices that the team has employed, the other being Hall of Fame broadcaster Bill Schonely.
Wheeler released the following statement in the press release, stating his gratitude to the organization for his time spent calling games who made him one of the highest paid people in his position.
