07/19/2010 - Portland, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers have named Rich Cho as the team's new general manager.
No financial terms of the deal were announced.
Cho had spent the past nine seasons as assistant GM of the Seattle SuperSonics/Oklahoma City Thunder and was responsible for constructing trades, contract negotiations, salary cap and Collective Bargaining Agreement matters, player contracts and all player personnel issues.
"Rich Cho joins us as one of the new generation of general managers in the NBA," said team owner Paul Allen. "We were all impressed with the depth and breadth of his skill-set and we know his leadership will be critical to make our great organization even more successful."
The 44-year-old Cho was initially an intern with Seattle before becoming a part-time consultant in 1997. Later that year, he was brought on as the team's director of basketball affairs and held the position for three years until his promotion to assistant GM.
He also served as vice president of legal affairs for the Sonics from 2005-07 and was charged with the legal work involved with sponsorship agreements, licensing issues, immigration issues and employment contracts.
"Rich is the perfect fit for our organization," said team president Larry Miller. "He has the right balance of basketball knowledge, business acumen and tremendous people skills. Rich will be a great fit for our organization and is an executive on the rise."
Cho,who grew up in Federal Way, Washington and graduated from Washington State University, said he is thrilled to be joining the Blazers.
"As someone who grew up in the northwest, I'm aware of the unbelievable passion and support that Trail Blazers fans have, and I'm excited to be a part of this rich tradition."
Portland finished sixth in the Western Conference last season with a 50-32 mark and fell to the Phoenix Suns in the first round of the playoffs.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
