The curse of Darius Miles continues to haunt the Memphis Grizzlies. Chris Wallace is the one who should be fired. He is responsible for the curse. BNM
Didn't they just make him the GM finally? I don't know about that one. The Clippers are a mess, and I don't know who could straighten them out. Their roster has talent but is a mess, even when healthy. Who could really make them better?
Yep... a few number of people keep wanting to defend Memphis and their dealings, but Chris Wallace is a joke of a GM, and Memphis is just a scrub of a franchise.
I've never lived in Portland itself but I've lived in Oregon for the past twenty years. What exactly am I missing? Are you thinking of Eric Spoelstra?
The summer we hired Nate, I can't remember which, but either canzano or Quick broke some huge 'inside" story that Ivaroni was on a plane to Portland for a news conference that he was our new coach. That was also the summer of the Trenton Hassell signing. Remember the news conference where they handed him a Blazer hat and he didn't even put it on.
Quick broke the story. Canzano, who many have speculated tipped Quick on the 'story' about Iavaroni, wrote an article in the following days blaming the Blazers organization and their lack of openness being the reason why Quick broke a story that was false. It was laughable.
Those 2004 and 2005 years were simply just a mess from the franchise to the media. It was downright embarrassing to be a fan. I can't believe a lot of us survived it and came out sane.
I imagine if the Blazers have the smoking gun they're rumored to possess, that Heisley will sell Wallace down the river to distance himself from the Miles mess.
One other thing. I would hire Iavaroni and with him as a member of the Blazers staff, I would have him testify about the pressure to play Miles from the front office.
