[h3]Kevin Pritchard Going out in a Blaze of Glory?[/h3]
June, 15, 2010
By Chad Ford
Blazers GM Kevin Pritchard may be fighting for his job, but it hasn't stopped him from being aggressive in trade talks and draft discussions.
Two league sources told ESPN.com that the Blazers (who pick at No. 22) have been very active in trade discussions. Specifically, the team has been hunting for a pick in the mid first round -- somewhere between 16 and 19. They appear to be trying to move ahead of the San Antonio Spurs who pick 20.
Who is their target? According to sources, the Blazers like several players including Damian James, Daniel Orton and Solomon Alabi. They also like international big man Kevin Seraphin from France. The concern in Portland is that the player they're targeting might all be gone before the 22nd pick.
The Blazers have plenty of assets to make a deal and have historically been one of the most active teams in the league when it comes to acquiring draft picks.
Pritchard and his staff remain in the driver's seat right now, despite a flurry of signs that their jobs are in jeopardy. Pritchard has been on of the most successful GMs in the league over the past several years, especially when it comes to the draft. However sources have indicated that the owner Paul Allen's advisors have been unhappy with his job performance and are looking outside the organization for possible replacements. Everyone from Jerry West to Mark Warkentein have been mentioned in the search.
Sources say that Pritchard is expecting to be fired after the draft is over, but has decided that if he's going to let go, he wants to leave with a bang.
"They're going all out right now, which is pretty much par for the course," a rival GM told ESPN.com. "But it's interesting to see this sort of effort given everything else that's going on. He's had as good of a track record as any executive in the league and management is humiliating him. Lots of guys would've just quit. I'd admire that he's going out swinging."

They have New Orleans colors because the Jazz are originally from New Orleans. They added a touch of Nawlinz

Utah could have moved to the old school logo, but kept the light blue color scheme.
The New Orleans colors are just stupid to have in Utah. It's almost like the Seattle green and yellow in OKC

I'm guessing he meant being down 3-2 and losing the series, not coming back to win it. No biggie tho, bragging rights for second place means something on forums.
