Chris McGowan has worn multiple hats for the Portland Trail Blazers over the last decade, first running the business side of the franchise as CEO then stepping into a similar role with the club’s parent organization, Vulcan Sports and Entertainment. Kerry Eggers of the Portland Tribune sat down with McGowan for an exhaustive interview about the state of the franchise, how decisions are made, and the general outlook going forward.
McGowan told Eggers the division of labor remains largely steady between himself, President of Basketball Operations Neil Olshey, and Vulcan vice-chairman Bert Kolde following the death of former owner Paul Allen.
