    Look at the older players Morey had on the Rockets and how many were shooters.
    I dont agree that he would shy away form CJ because he's 30.
    The number to the right of each player is how long in the league up to that point.
    They won 55 games 2016/17

    what rape case? There were no charges. I’ll say it again, it’s gonna take more for me to care than an isolated incident 20+ years ago that may or may not have been criminal.

    She rich and that's mean she knows what good business or she wouldn't be rich. So hiring a new coach that's a woman guess what that's gives everyone interested how she will do and maybe that would put the Blazers on national stage with be big market.

    ...if Billups had anything to do with the Clippers adjustments/strategy vs the Jazz in the closing games, then he is 1000% the best candidate for leading the current Blazers roster to playoff success. /

    Or maybe they talked basketball a lot? Maybe over the past two years she has worked to learn as much as she can?

    She may have, but that is not what the response was to.

    That's help just saying she not dumb. You hire Becky and make history or hire Billups and loose ticket holder due to his past history.

    Hard to see a season ticket holder leaving because of Billups being hired. And if so, they will be replaced easily

    If Dame is still on the team, those season tickets will get snatched up even faster than they were cancelled.

    Which, by the way, is why Dame won’t be traded even if he demanded one.

    At the risk of sounding like speed, Chauncy won only the one title.

    Not just don’t seem to care, they seem to be actively promoting or encouraging her to apply elsewhere. To me that’s a red flag and makes me nervous about hiring her. Personally, I’m fully in the Hire Billups camp after watching him on the sidelines of the last 10 LAC playoff games. He’s VERY active on the sidelines communicating with all of the players (much more so than Lue), especially the stars.

    How dare a head coach give praise to his assistants to other teams

    Do we know for sure that Becky was the "heir apparent" to Pop? Or is that just people creating a talking point
