Braiden Bell, through counsel, has expressed no ill will towards KGW (the station that discovered the tweets) and believes those individuals involved should not lose their jobs.
Braiden Bell — the play-by-play announcer the Portland Trail Blazers hired and fired on the same day after being notified of derogatory tweets he posted as a team — has hired counsel and is asking for reinstatement.

I dont understand why the Blazers didn’t sign this guy.
"I can go get coffee... I can maybe make a shot... I can watch your dog... I just wanna be a part of the program." 😂
Blake Hinson, who scored 14 PTS in Utah's preseason win last night, just wants to help the @utahjazz HOWEVER he can 😅

See Tom Dundon? This isn't that hard.
To all @Seahawks fans and @12s, we have no plans to move the team, have never discussed it, haven’t even thought about it. End of story. I've said repeatedly we have no plans to change anything. Feel sad for the reporters looking for views and clicks who distort my answer out of context and sent an entire city into a spiral for no reason.

So where is the apology for trading for Ja Morant….?
Community note
The Portland Trailblazers have a history of employing players who used racial slurs while employed by them and have hired players with previous violent felony sex convictions.
They do not have zero tolerance for racist or sexist comments.

Hey Braiden, wondering if you remember cancelling a fellow journalist yourself? Without giving me a call, or truly knowing me or the person I am?
Doesn't feel great, does it?
If your views on free speech and cancel culture have since changed, would love to re-connect!

Too late…
The Blazers had a “big pool” of people show interest in the play-by-play job, including candidates with NBA experience and tenures working at “flagship sports news” stations, a team source said. But they went with Bell because he's "a rising talent."

I guess I’m confused
BCBS and others have used AI and machines to deny care under prior authorization for years. No concern on their end
Doctors or hospitals use AI to catch up and BCBS says this is inappropriate and driving up healthcare costs.
What’s good for the goose…
The Blue Cross/Blue Shield Association says that AI is already driving *up* healthcare costs, as hospitals use the technology to find instances where they can bill more for the same level of care. bcbs.com/about-us/associatio…

Insurance out here using AI to deny care and healthcare providers are using AI to upcode or add services to increase reimbursement. What a vicious cycle

When people warn about AI, I don’t think they actually meant this. This all tracks though based on my experience with UHC.

Adam Silver says it would be a failure if the Trail Blazers did not remain in Portland.
"We need a state of the art arena. The current building there is in the bottom measure of any arena in the league... It's my hope that we can lower the temperature in these negotiations."

If I asked my boss to add another 35% to my paycheck each year, they will just say no. No one forced the Clippers to make side deals to get him paid more….
The Clippers are “frustrated, upset, and have resentment” towards Kawhi Leonard because the NBA let him off the hook with only a $700k fine, per @JakeLFischer
