When it was announced that Neil Olshey would be fired as president of basketball operations, former Celtics president and Blazers player Danny Ainge seemed like a natural fit.
Ainge has ties with the organization, shown success in other places as president, and would align with the organization’s prerogative to remain competitive and build a championship contender around Damian Lillard.
However, according to NBC Sports Northwest’s Dwight Jaynes, the Blazers have yet to reach out to Ainge.
Inside source told me tonight the Blazers have not even spoken to Danny Ainge about vacant GM job.
