Any News on a Color Analyst?

8 days ago we get a post saying the Blazers are "close" to hiring someone, and it's a name we're familiar with. Since then I can't find anything about a potential hire, and we're nearly to preseason. If they have the hire already in place, what's the hold up?

Didn't we all agree that CJ was going to do live color commentary on the court?

My guess is they are having a hard time or couldn't come to terms with the talent they were working with last week.

The good news is we still have 2 months till opening night. Also If rather have a rotating cast of guest color commentators this season than to have them hire the wrong guy.

We are setting our sights a little different, we're getting Chris Rock as our "off-color" analyst.

The Blazers could redeem themselves, by taking Mike Barrett back. I still cannot fathom not being able to have the Mike's next season. It really will make the broadcasts and the whole representation of the team much less wholesome. I might not even follow Portland, at all, just cuz of that move and not being able to have those 2 as announcers.
