The Trail Blazers initiated an independent review of Olshey after several staff members reported “bullying” in the front-office, per Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.

With Olshey’s firing, it seems those reports were true.

Olshey was hired by the Trail Blazers in 2012 after a long stint with the Los Angeles Clippers’ organization.

The Trail Blazers have made the playoffs a league-leading eight times in a row under Olshey’s leadership.

Joe Cronin will handle General Manager business on an interim basis while the organization looks for a new President.
