Randy Pfund, who was one of three finalist for the general manager position of the Blazers last summer, said he would still be interested in the job.

But Pfund has not been contacted by the Blazers.

"I'm sure if there was interest, I would certainly look into it … assuming those guys haven't lost my number,'' Pfund said. “We'll see if anything develops."

Pfund said the unexpected nature of Rich Cho's firing doesn't diminish the appeal of the Blazers general manager job.

"Obviously, I would probably try to do a little research to find out what happened there,'' Pfund said. “But just like my own situation in Miami, there's always a lot of things that lead to a person moving on, or a team deciding to move on. I found that spending time to try and figure out or view a situation from a negative nature is not productive. I tend to work more from the positive side of things."
