    Adrian Griffin is next. He's been an assistant coach for many years. Someone is going to scoop him.

    Jerry Stackhouse cut his teeth coaching with the Raptors/905 and is now the coach of Vanderbilt.

    i think he's referring to 7 straight playoff appearances in the west, and winning playoff series in 3 of those years. If you think about it with GS in the way, not many other teams in the west can claim this. I know it's not what we want to hear with our expectations, but it is what it is.

    I wish he'd come back; I think he is really missed here. What if the Blazers offered him a promotion to associate head coach or something like that?

    I'd take Vanterpool or Tibbetts over Stotts any day of the week.

    No, just create something else above him :), or make it co-associate head coach.

    Is that what you call it? In my hood growing up it was/is called loyalty.

    Loyalty is what bankrupts a lot of pro athletes because they think they can financially support 70+ people.

    loyalty is commendable

    loyalty that is blind to objectivity due to allegiance is not commendable. I think it is arguable that Dame crosses that line occasionally

    This would look great on Timberwolves forum;) You think this "success" would make Sheed or Clyde proud? When I think of that... Are Blazers wasting Dames talent?

    Looks like Mario Hezonja's time in the NBA has officially run out. He just signed to play for Panathinaikos in Greece.

    Mostly based on Stotts after 9 seasons. We need a fresh perspective. Can't be any worse on defense.

    If we would have ditched McMillan for Monty, we would have been better off too.

    The new Wolves coach got hired through nepotism son. The GM and him go back to their time in Houston.

    poor Rio has to live in Greece and play big minutes instead of waving a towel in Cleveland or Detroit!
