It looks like another former employee of the Cleveland Cavaliers could find himself in a new gig.

There are several reports that former Cavaliers coach Mike Brown will become the coach of the Lakers.

And now reporter Mike Monroe of MySanAntonio.com writes that the Portland Trail Blazers are interested in Danny Ferry.

Ferry, former general manager of the Cavaliers, is now vice president of basketball operations of the Spurs. Ferry is at the top of Portland’s list of candidates to replace recently fired general manager Rich Cho.

From the story:

Any team that wants to put together a championship-contending roster should consider Ferry, a smart executive whose experience as general manager of the Cavaliers makes him uniquely qualified.

During his five years in Cleveland, Ferry worked for a billionaire owner with a big ego, Dan Gilbert. He also dealt with a superstar, LeBron James, who had a team of sycophants behind the scenes second-guessing and undercutting the GM. Still, Ferry built a team that made it to one NBA Finals and posted the NBA’s best regular-season record in back-to-back seasons.

But the big question, writes Monroe, is why would Ferry want to work for multi- billionare and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen , who is the the NBA’s version of George Steinbrenner – without the championship rings?
