Portland Trail Blazers play-by-play announcer Kevin Calabro is no longer with the team, following what multiple reports describe as his rejection of a contract extension offer made by Tom Dundon’s ownership group. Both outlets say Calabro parted ways with the franchise as the organization undertakes broadcast and business changes. The Oregonian reports that Calabro declined what he characterized as a “subprime” offer while the team continues cost-cutting measures. Yahoo Sports similarly reports that Calabro’s departure is linked to the extension offer and notes that he makes critical remarks in connection with the decision. The reports frame Calabro’s exit as part of a broader transition in the Trail Blazers’ media arrangements, rather than a single isolated personnel move. Neither source indicates that Calabro was dismissed for cause; instead, they describe his departure as resulting from negotiations and the team’s ongoing efforts to overhaul operations. As a result, Calabro is presented as ending his long tenure with the franchise, with the team moving ahead with new broadcast direction.
