    I can dismiss second rounders - you are lucky to get a journeyman. But too many first round including lottery misses. I'd rather have Indiana's GM.

    What misses? Kaman's been an all-star, Livingston simply got injured, Thornton's been solid, Gordon's very good, Griffin's a stud, Aminu is still too young to judge. The only real miss was Korolev, an 18-year-old foreigner.

    I actually think this is KEY aspect that any potential GM for POR needs to have....Allen has publically said that he likes to question his GM and be sold on players\moves, so as a GM you have to be able to sell him on the moves you want to make....

    I think Cho had the right vision for what needed to happen, however I just don't think he could sell it to Allen....and either Buchanan is unable to sell Allen on what he wants to do or his analysis of players is completely off...

    Allen wanting to be sold on players might make Morway....a former agent a great fit. Assuming he listens to the Born Identifier more than Chad Buchanan

    I think we should avoid a Meet and Greet with the next GM. Unless of course it's still Chad. Maybe Sly can get that process started, just in case the Draft rolls in and it's still Chad.

    I wonder what that quote meant? Does he know they are busy, or not as busy?

    PA confirms it's down to 4 candidates:

    GM search has made progress, I have interviewed four candidates in person, good talks, doing more reference checks now.

    (Sorry if this is already posted.)

    The HCP will start to feel a burning sensation shortly after he has sex with Mrs HCP (sorry buddy)

    Whoever the Blazers hire will say it's the guy they wanted all along

    My new adhd drugs are working really well

    resurfacing my pool will cost less than expected

    So the other 3 guys are a front, and Chad is the real guy, aka the Yes-Man

    None of which is helpful to any of us.

    Mrs. HCP will be shut down for some time.

    That's what the Blazers always do (When the draft began, we had four players we wanted, and we got each one).

    Your new ADHD pills should be helpful to us - if they even help to cut your rants and suicidal thoughts on the franchise.

    Shit, it's a kiddie pool. You just go to Fred Meyer and buy another - they're only $6.
