this is very random. I was looking up what Gerald Green's status was (just signed by the Pacers) and saw that Kevin Pritchard gave some schpiel to the media. I went "didn't that guy GM the Blazers?" I looked up Portland's GM history and saw that they fired Pritchard a couple years ago (right on draft night, no less, and still asked him to complete the draft!) and Rich Cho his replacement less than a yr later! it seems like they tanked this past season and McMillan is out as coach as well. i saw a lot of allegations about ownership meddling in basketball decisions by Blazer fans. what the heck is going on there? seems like their coach/GM positions are a musical chair....

He is a legitimate (jerk) if we're being technical.  I seem to remember he was one of the ringleaders that kept the lockout going.
