The Portland Trail Blazers believe they had cause to fire Neil Olshey, which voids the two years and upwards of $20 million remaining on his contract, a source tells The Athletic.

Olshey may challenge Portland's stance.

Players from the Blazers were given the opportunity to speak with investigators about Olshey, but they all declined.

Olshey allegedly was "abrasive and controlling" with staffers and also made an inappropriate comment toward a female staff member.
