reportsthat Philadelphia 76ers executive Ed Stefanski and the Raptors have "hit a snag" in their discussions for Stefanski to take over the GM role in Toronto. This could mean that Stefanski is now back in play for the Portland Trail Blazers' open GM position. ----------------------------------- It’s unclear what caused the talks between Toronto president Bryan Colangelo and Stefanski to come undone, but several sources said what seemed inevitable a week ago – the hiring of Stefanski – has been derailed. Stefanski is trying to become more engaged in the Trail Blazers’ search, sources said. ----------------------------------- Over atRaptorsHQ,Adam Francishas conducted a two-part interview about Stefanski (hereandhere) withMichael LevinofLiberty Ballers.Last weekit was reported that Stefanski was near a deal with the Raptors shortly after his namecame upwith respect to Portland's position, which has remained open since former GM Rich Cho was abruptly fired back in May. -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com |Twitter
