Give the guy some credit for keeping this franchise afloat.  He put together a team that should have had at least one title and he's always poured money into this franchise.  Yes, his judgment has not always been great, but he stayed with it and now has a team that may bring multiple championships to Portland.

I moved to Portland as an 8 year old the summer after Portland beat Philly for the NBA title.  I have fond memories of sitting with my Grandmother listening to Bill Schonely call the games on the radio.  Back then, and through most of the 80's, Portland nevery put home games on TV, so I became a huge fan of Schonely.  His call of the games was so wonderful, and I still get goose bumps when I listen to clips of him calling some of the pivotal playoff games in the early 90's.  I always turned down the TV sound and listened to "The Schonz."
