    Wrong. Stop lying.

    I said it was time for Nate to go, and I've never said it was wrong to fire him.

    You continue to use McMillan's departure in your list of what management has done wrong. You ridicule the best coaches as not being any better.

    You contradicted yourself within the same post over just what you don't like about Allen.

    Some quick names of people I have been thinking PA could have spoken to

    Kiki Vandeweghe

    Mark Warkentien

    Randy Pfund


    I am not in any way supporting or poo pooing any of those names, just throwing them out there as potential guys he spoke to that fit Quick's description

    They have said a couple time wark was not a candidate over the past year. pfund was interviewed for the position either before cho or right after he was fired I can't remember.. But I'm pretty sure they said he would not be considered

    Chris Mullin, perhaps, fits into that criteria?

    Canzano is a hack, but love him or hate him, Woj is right (and usually first) more often than not. Everybody heaped scorn on him when he dared to suggest that KP wasn't well regarded by his peers around the league and might be on the hot-seat in Portland and look how that turned out?

    No doubt about that - he's been spot-on the last few years on many things, especially around draft days and various deadlines. Nobody else has come close.

    Woj proved he's the best last year during the trade deadline and the draft -- he owned it.

    Everything isn't all glitter and unicorns like MB likes to spin.

    Apparently Kiki has not interviewed for the position, but says it is an attractive position. Would not comment on whether or not the Blazers had contacted him.

    Chris Haynes ‏ @ChrisBHaynes
    Kiki Vandeweghe declined to comment when asked if #Blazers contacted him.

    Kiki Vandeweghe calls #Blazers GM position "attractive." He has not interviewed 4 position, but he would

    It's all in the perspective. Glitter and unicorns terrify me - so in that context, I'm terrified about the Blazers' current position.

    Kidding aside, I am getting tired of MB's constant spin. No disrespect to MB, I'm a big fan and I know he's getting paid by the Blazers, so I should expect no different. But he spins so much so frequently, for those of us fans that really like the guy, but we're not flat-out dumb, it's almost unreal that he keeps peddling pure crap like we fans really are going to believe it. Does he really think we're that dumb? Or is he that much of a whore for the organization (apologies for calling him a whore, again I love MB and am big fan, but for lack of a better word)?

    I think you can be an employee of the team, and still be somewhat honest. Instead of a line of great names wanting the GM job, maybe say it's not the job it used to be, but the management group is working hard, and have quality names to look at
