The Portland Trail blazers have fired Neil Olshey, their general manager and president.
Neil Olshey, the general manager and president of basketball operations for the Portland Trail blazers, was terminated due to violations of the team's Code of Conduct. We will not discuss or release it out of respect for those who participated in the investigation. The changes will help build a more positive and respectful working environment.
During the search for a permanent general manager, the team said that Joe Cronin would serve as interim.
O'Melveny & Myers, a law firm, was conducting an independent investigation into the workplace environment of non-player personnel at the practice facility.
According to a Yahoo Sports report, Olshey had created a hostile work environment with instances of intimidation.
Olshey joined the Trail Blazers' front office in 2012 after nine years in the LA Clippers organization. The president of basketball operations was added in 2015.
