Because he's already running the show. The next GM will have to sign a waiver stating that Kolde can shove his arm up the GM's ass any time he feels like it.
It would be fitting if Pritchard ends up taking Wark's job in Denver, while Wark is left out of the NBA.
Honestly, I would rather they promote someone in-house like Buchanan or Born. They're both very familiar with the Blazers and have had a decent track record with scouting talent. Co-GMs? Either that or hire the guy who is more familiar with existing NBA players (rather than the one who is incharge of college/European players). Oh, and find them an assistant to handle the cap matters (storyteller?)
Petrie is the only person I would get excited for. A common denominator for most successful franchises is stability. I wonder how the last 15 years would have panned out if he never left? If he had Jerry West-like tenure with us.
At the risk of stating the obvious. I am sure there are people out there that are as competent as KP, maybe even better. They already have jobs. They aren't sitting around the phone, pining for PA to call them. Oops.
I read conflicting things about Danny Ferry: either he's been interviewed already (along with RC Buford!) or that he refused to be interviewed out of respect for Pritchard. Anyone confirm either?
I don;t think it will matter. PA & Vulcan will treat him (or her) like crap, step all over them and then dump them like a cheap date. Hmmmmmmm, I see the fun in all that, but it still isn't right.
