    Know what would be hilarious? If Olshey hired a woman as an assistant.

    Anyone know if Nate Tibbetts will be retained? I'd love to see Vanterpool in that similar position with us.

    They hired a woman in a position of power last season. I forgot what her role was but it was quite high up.

    yeah but that’s not a visible position so nobody in the media gives it a second thought.

    Doesn't the head coach hire assistants? And why would it be hilarious?

    In all seriousness, getting a different perspective would probably be a great thing for Becky Hammon (assuming she's not going to land one of the other openings)...

    Would love to see Darvin Ham and Vince Carter get looks, mostly because they're two of my all-time favorites to watch. Gary Payton feels like he might be an interesting name -- Dame connection, defense, local angle... I wonder how Chauncey would feel about another similar player coming on under him?

    Apparently Mark Bryant is now considered one of the best big man coaches in the game? He's a former Blazer...

    Feels like a positionless bball type would be an interesting add to a staff (thinking like a Shawn Marion type)...

    Actually I think hiring a qualified female assistant would be a good idea and not hilarious at all.

    People are going to hate this, but LaMarcus Aldridge as a player development coach...

    Pretty sure Dame really wanted to play with LMA against before he retired. Could be a sort of make Dame happy kind of move.

    Pretty sure Melo still wants to score points and move up the list.
