This is super petty on the Blazers part.
I hope the coach gets a job with Spurs now.
Trail Blazers assistant coach Kim Hughes has been fired by the team, The Oregonain/Oregonlive has learned, days after his comments to an Indiana television station about the future of free agent LaMarcus Aldridge went viral.
NBA.com was the first with knowledge of the move and The Oregonian confirmed it.
Hughes, who has been the Blazers’ big man coach for the past three seasons, told WTHI television that Aldridge was leaving the Blazers in free agency, which enraged team officials, who said Hughes had no knowledge of the team’s free agent proceedings.
Fired for telling the truth.
No need to get mad at him because the franchise couldn’t convince Aldridge to stay.
