    The first assistant coach hire/announcement needs to be a home run.


    Heard someone turned down an opportunity because of distinction. No idea who? Person overheard someone say that, that was involved

    I don't want to get cut off by anyone, but can you elaborate on that?

    Maybe I haven't had enough coffee yet, but this part confuses me.

    Yes, that does make more sense. But to be honest, I am not buying that they are dysfunctional. At least not compared to 90% of the other franchises out there.
    We may or may not like Neil's trades/drafts but I don't see a dysfunctional front office. It's not like they have been unstable.

    My guess the assistant coach in question is basing it on the Twitter shit storm. Or how dysfunctional the city is in general.

    Multiple national media outlets used that exact term to describe our franchise this week.

    To me I want nothing to do with an assistant coach that doesn't want to be here and don't care why...move on to the next candidate who will cherish the opportunity

    multiple national media outlets are pounding the papers to get Dame to their big markets...we're under assault by lobbyists....not outraged journalists

    Jody Allen needs to quit groping her security guards and stealing bones, and get on with the job of firing Neil ASAP………

    Jody needs to put the team up for sale while Dame is still under contract. At a glance when Paul slobbered all over Neil & McGowen and brought them both here its because they fit the Vulcan persona and characteristics. IF there is change and there will be look for Neil to move to another Vulcan division or company. Just my guess. When they both landed here they were like Ivy league grads taking on a junior executive training tenure before moving on with the mothership.

    What happened to that secret candidate? It’s been reported and confirmed by Olshey that there were only three finalists.

    He also said Billups was a smokescreen.

    Exactly. And how in the hell would they know? They get their info from Tweets and opinion articles like Canzano.

    If you ever listen to the opposing broadcasters for Blazer games, you probably have noticed that they repeat stories verbatim if anything is written about the Blazers or their players. Whether it is true or not. We are all often a little lazy when it comes to news. We hear it, we accept it, and we repeat it.
