Trail Blazers announcer blames Tom Dundon after contract rejection

Trail Blazers announcer Kevin Calabro announced his departure following unsuccessful contract negotiations. In comments to Joe Freeman of The Oregonian, Calabro cited 'subprime' offers from the team, a pointed reference to new owner Tom Dundon’s reputation for frugality. This decision comes after Dundon's recent criticism for lowballing a one-year deal to new head coach Micah Nori. Calabro's exit marks the end of an era linked to the Damian Lillard era for the Trail Blazers, and he expressed comfort with his decision to walk away from the role.
