    It's a molehill when compared to the gigantic fucking flip-out mountain you've created.

    Right because that's the only other option.

    Are you celebrating by misrepresenting Larry Miller? Why yes, yes I think you are.

    I'm commenting about a GM hire on an NBA message board that has about 100 people on it. Didn't realize what a big deal that was.

    Can any board geeks dig out the comments when the Blazers hired KP? I wonder if the same people said he'd never been a GM, etc....

    Learn to compartmentalize, genius. I'll try to simplify it for you.

    He's inexperienced. Yes. I get it. It's true. You're right. Nobody's disputing that fact. You don't like his inexperience. Understandable. Makes perfect sense. I even agree with you here.

    But nobody--not Paul Allen, not Larry Miller, not Rich Cho, not Nate McMillan, not Tod Leiweke, not Steve Gordon, NOBODY has ever said anything about rebuilding. To assume that Rich Cho is going to take us back to draft picks and cap space is nothing short of idiocy.

    As a matter of fact, yes it was. Have you been paying attention to the *available* candidates?

    In your world of over-generalizing everyone, yes, I believe that's the only other option. If not, name me someone who doesn't fall into either the 'inexperienced' or 'retread' category?

    KP already put work in in the 2006 draft before he was fired. It was an easy choice. Too bad the Blazers had to ruin it.

    I'm not the one who fired Kevin Pritchard to hire the new Tom Penn.

    You're under the assumption he is not a combination of both and thus superior.

    True, Cho has never put work into a draft.

    We've all heard the reports by now that it may have been KP and his agent who had to ruin it, by breaking Paul Allen's Focker circle of trust. Who the F knows who ruined it, but KP is gone, move on.

    I also heard there was a lot of jealousy.

    Was that the sound of my point going directly over your head? Not surprising.
