Danny Ferry is expected to turn down an offer to become general manager of the Blazers, according to a source close to the situation.

Ferry was concerned with the nature of how Kevin Pritchard and Tom Penn were fired after he had a meddling owner of his own in Cleveland.

Ferry responded to the CBS Sports report in a conversation with the Portland Roundball Society.

?I can truthfully say that I have not turned down the job because it has not been offered to me,? said Ferry.
