Glickman looking toward future
By Carrto Vincent
fty ;f» QritQan Cmeraxt
Harry c;iit kman c an'I quite keep his hands out
of the pot.
Thi* fi9-vear-old president of tin* NBAs Portland
Trail Blazers said he is in serniretirement. but his
energy and the love for his job art* making it diffi
cult for him to "phase out "
'It's a very rare dm that I don't enjoy work.''
Gtickman said
His enthusiasm is fxMindless. considering in* lias
been with the organization since the beginning —
in fat t. (tin kman lias been integral to the Blazers
sini <■ he set ured the Inn.king for getting the fran
chise in 1070 And lie hasn't looked Ink k
It's the fulun* that is keeping Glic knuin, who a< Hi
allv started in sports writing when he ns eived his
bm helor's degret? in journalism from the Universi
ty in 194H. on the edge of his seat a new sports
arena for the Blazers is projected to open in Sep
tember 1005
The business savvy of Gluinnan is apparent when
he begins to talk about this new venture, w ho h
started Monday w ith the groundbreaking ceremo
ny,
"With the Memoriul Coliseum right next door
and the International Conference Center virtually
in ross the street, who knows what kind of events
we can attract." (.lit kman said
The inevitable sports promoter in (.In kman is
confident that the new arena w ill probably secure
another professional team for Oregon, probably in
the National Him key League
The arena has an estimated cost of $250 million,
of whii h the i ity of Portland will contribute S i4 5
million Owner Paul Allen will contribute $4h mil
lion. and the rest will be gathered from non recourse
loans
(diekman jokingly refers to Allen's high aspira
lions for the new arena
"(Allen) said tfiat whatever the requirement for
rvslrooms is. add 25 |n*n ent.” (.In kman said "We
want to lx* the most bladder friendly building in
the country "
(dii kman’s respect for the Trail Blazers' owner
is obvious
"Allen is very involved." (dickmon said, unlike
many owners who tend to only communicate
through electronic mail, with little hands-on rela
tions.
Allen, along with Click man and It) others, were
the dei ision makers in the "war room" — as Click
man called it — two-and-a-half weeks ago for the
Blazers' 24th NBA Draft
F.ven though the coaches have little opportuni
ty to do any scouting. Glii kman said they have a
lot of input on who will Im* drafted, and "we nev
er draft over the absolute objei turns id the coai li
es."
The Blazers had the 21st pit k in the first round
and No 4H in the sei und The ai quisition of lames
Kobinson. a 6-foot-2 shiKiting guard from Alabama.
‘I'd like to stay on through the
building of the new arena, and
Vd like to always keep my foot
in the door.'
Harry Glickman,
President Portland Trail Blazers
has raised some eyebrows because the Blazers failed
to nil the middle of the lane with, for example. Irvin
Johnson, the (i-foot-11 big man who went to Seat
tle w it It pick No 23.
"I think the necessity of height is a little exag
gerated, and 1 think we can be pretty good with
out it." Glickman said in defense of the "war
room’s" de< ision "Besides, arguably. Robinson was
the most athletic guy in the draft We couldn't pass
him up when he was still available at (pick) 21 "
That move, combined with the rv< ent acquisition
ol Harvey Grant, will probably put forwards Buck
Williams and Gliff Robinson in the center more
often. Glickman said.
(’.In Lilian said that in the next couple of years,
the Blazers anticipate getting a younger group of
players on the floor
"We are dealing with A G. Green (of the lz>s Ange
les Lakers), but we don't have enough money to
offer him vet." he said, citing salary cap restrictions.
However, with a lucrative one-year $H million
contract pending for Clyde Drexler in two years, the
veterans are still a factor
Despite Glickman's input and insight on the team,
he quickly admits that lie is mostly involved with
the business side of the game.
"I’m going to lie phased out eventually," Glick
man said "I never once thought I was the basket
ball mavon in our organization. But I maintained
veto power for financial reasons "
Gli< Lilian's sports-promoting abilities are sizable,
and he has put them to good use for the Blazers
"We broke into cable as a way of increasing our
rapacity." Glickman said
The Blazers also utilize radio and a variety of oth
er sources to supplement the growth of the team.
Because of heavy marketing, the Blazers have the
longest history of sell-outs in the NBA — more than
700 consecutive games.
Glickman also proudly mentions that Si billion
m Blazer merchandise has Ixhiii sold this year alone.
"In fat t." Glickman said, "the new store. Blazers
on Broadway in Portland, has sold more merchan
dise per square foot than any other store down
town." ■ '
Although Glickman's contract expires June 30.
l'l't-G it will be dillu uit for him to keep his fin
gers out ot the pot.
"When my control t runs out. I will liecomu a i on
sultant, whatever that means," he said "I'd like
to stay on through the building of the new arena,
and I'd like to always keep my loot in the door "
