24

Portland Trail Blazers COOSarah Mensahhas opened a Twitter account and she's off to a feisty start,noting on Saturdaythat she is not involved in the team's search for a new GM. --------------------------- Oh, one thing I’d like to do is clarify an item John Canzano recently reported inaccurately; I have nothing to do with our GM search. --------------------------- The report she's referring to, byJohn CanzanoofThe Oregonian, can be readhere. Mensah heads up the team's business operations, reporting to president Larry Miller, and has worked for the Blazers since 1993.Update: Canzano hasrespondedon Twitter. --------------------------- And yet you declined an opportunity to make same statement pre-report? Funny but Sarah Mensah knew exactly what I was reporting... Why suddenly worried now? The distancing at One Center Court begins... just do smart things, make a solid hire already and stop worrying about job security. --------------------------- Canzano also addressed her directly: "Probably worth getting more involved with Larry on this. He's on the right track if only the Paul Allen circle would stand down." -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com |Twitter
