Notice Chauncey Billups new Portland Trail Blazers head coach

fuck him, simple as that

 

They never should have leaked this on Friday afternoon. Horrible horrible decision.

 

Neil better does that damn press conference now and takes all the blame

 

there are two scenarios:

a) hes putting pressure on the front office
b) he really wants out

let me say something, dame has certainly earned his right to leave, but after all the talk about loyalty, that would be really disappointing, to put it mildly

 

Poor women, if only they could think for themselves. Or as @Scalma says take personal responsibility for their actions.

 

Dame told him to send that out. Not sure what Haynes did

 

Is this supposed to be some sort of gotcha?

 

Look man I am as progressive as they come. I worship at the feet of AOC and Bernie. But I can see through the nonsense going on at that site. The guy is stoking the fire with half information and on a crusade to paint the org in an unfair light and dame is catching drive bys by the idiots that post there.

 

as much as i dislike Neil Olshey, i do not belive for a second that Dame is "innocent" in this Coaching Drama, he definetly knew about Billups at some point during the Interviews

 

I like that you're making irony cool again.

 

Fuck it, blow it up, it doesn’t work anyway.

Dame to Den for Murray/Porter Jr and a 1st

CJ/RoCo to Philly for Simmons/Thybulle/Filler

Resign Powell and Collins

Let Melo/Kanter walk

Talk DJJ into opting out

Trade Nurk IF the right deal is there for a younger big to pair with new timeline

Murray/Ant
Powell/Thybulle
Porter Jr/Nas
Simmons
Nurk/Collins

Powell and Nurk are the old guys there at 26/28, gives Billups a couple seasons to get his system installed.

 

Of course he did. But not at the beginning

I respect Dame more that he sat in the interview. Heard from Billups directly about what happened and since the vetting process came back fine, why should Dame be at fault about any of this

 

Also I bet Chris Haynes probably just wanted to capitalize on the situation once again and throw a lit match into a gas tank for clicks again. Dame just needs to get away from this coattails riding hack

 

I like how you keep thinking you’re saying something.

 

I’m not sure dame was even involved with this particular article. I mean it was so vague. There was nothing new in it except a line about fan backlash. We already know he’s waiting to see how the offseason goes. Just felt like a cheap way to get clicks.

 

Agree

 

btw this "inability to build a title contender" is a bit laughable to me. If he wasn’t buddy buddy with CJ, who knows maybe we would have traded him long time ago. And his loyalty to Stotts absolutely killed him in the past 5 years, and signing a super super Max doesn’t give your team a great chance to get another All Star, maybe take a bit less, you won't starve. And please don't tell me Dame is not the GM he doesn't have influence on those things, he sure does. In todays NBA Superstar are powerful like never before

 

I'm with you. This whole situation is just so incredibly annoying on every level. And it could have easily been avoided, or at least handled with foresight. This is Olshey's mess, not Dame's.
