The investigation into Neil Olshey, Portland Trail Blazers President of Basketball Operations, for creating a toxic, hostile work environment will now involve interviews with current Trail Blazers players and President/CEO Chris McGowan. While the scope of the inquiry was never publicly defined, it initially centered around less public-facing members of the Blazers staff working on the basketball side of franchise operations under Olshey. According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, interviews are now being conducted with higher-profile names in the organization, including the players and McGowan.
Up to this point, the investigation centered on former and current staffers.
