I don't know. What if his dad initiated the conversation and said his son was interested in coming back to Portland?
It’s hard for me to believe any Portland media types have any kind of inside sources. Just by the paranoid environment that’s been in the franchise for years. I think this is one of those things that won’t be known until it’s announced. It will probably be via a tweet by Woj. I do know their should be some kind of urgency by Portland’s front office. Because, Boston who arguably has a more enticing situation could want the same coach (Billups).
I REALLY wanted Billups until I heard about the rape cover up case in 1997 w/ Boston...the problem is what it legit or a case where the story was exaggerated or had lapses of information...Oregon basketball players were accused of the same type of situation a few years ago w/ Damyean Dotson, Dominic Artis, and Brandon Austin...after the police report came out, it was clear the only one of the 3 in the wrong was Austin who had a previous case at Providence...hopefully Chauncey wasn't guilty of rape but how will we ever know?
If she is the best candidate she should get the job, period. People probably said the same things about the first Black coaches. Ridiculous.
Whoever it is I guarantee it will be underwhelming. My guess is MDA, who is most likely Neil’s 3rd or 4th choice at this point.
The fact that Jody and the Vulcans need to review and sign off on a new coach worries me that they will take their sweet time. Boston can pull the trigger real quick especially if they like Billups. I wonder if Emi is even in the running ?
No Spoelstra...that's a dead rumor now...he's said he was always staying in Miami and there was no truth to the rumor
