Brian Berger's source said Ferry isn't interested because of his kids' schools. I only believe what Brian Berger says.
Am I the only one that is skeptical about Ferry? He couldn't get it done with arguably one of the best players in the league.
Well, it's not necessarily the GM's job to take the court and win games. I honestly feel they had the pieces to win a Championship, but the players under-achieved when it mattered the most.
Was it Ferry's fault though? Is Doc Rivers a better coach than Jerry Sloan? Ferry traded shit and added pieces around Lebron. Lebron had the ear of the owner, and dictated what he wanted. Ferry got that without really giving up a lot. Portland fans would have been ecstatic if we could have added Shaq, Jamison and Williams for Mills, Blake and Claver. I mean he really didn't give up a lot. Playoffs is all adjustments made by the coach, and Mike Brown sucked as a coach
do we really want this guy, didn't he put together the cav's team as it is? He probably only got Lebron because they were so awful and he's from cleveland. (that is not capitalized on purpose because that town doesn't deserve it.)
That's impossible. Brian Berger said he wasn't interested. I'd also like to add: Ahem. Danny Ferry? LOLZ! What an electric hire that would be!!!!!! Welcome to the Titanic everyone. The biggest most hugest ship the world has ever seen!!!!!!!
Ferry was constantly under pressure from ownership and LeBron to make deals to keep "The King" happy. I have a feeling some of those trades wouldn't have went down if LeBron was locked up a long-term deal and they weren't held hostage by his free agency situation. Even if you aren't blown away by any of his trades, he has a great track record of getting talent back without giving up much in return other than expiring deals. That's more than you can say for KP.
Brian Berger said Ferry thinks Portland's private schools aren't as good as Cleveland's. Ergo, no way is Ferry coming here. LOL Someone from Cleveland thinks Portland's schools suck. I love this.
Why didn't Ferry have any good assets to work with? Does he suck at drafting? We were able to pick up some relatively valuable assets deep in the first round.
Then we need to make sure to keep Buchanan/Born to ensure that we continue to draft well, while letting Ferry handle the deal-making. It's a team effort, right?
If they were largely responsible for how we drafted, then yes. I don't claim to know how much credit or responsibility each person, including KP, should have been given for the way we drafted.
Jerry sloan has been to the finals twice in 57 years the last time being 1998. Sloans Playoff career: No Playoffs Lost to Boston Celtics in First Round No Playoffs No Playoffs Lost to Golden State Warriors in First Round Lost to Phoenix Suns in First Round Lost to Portland Trail Blazers in Conference Semifinals Lost to Portland Trail Blazers in Conference Finals Lost to Seattle SuperSonics in First Round Lost to Houston Rockets in Conference Finals Lost to Houston Rockets in First Round Lost to Seattle SuperSonics in Conference Finals Lost to Chicago Bulls in NBA Finals Lost to Chicago Bulls in NBA Finals Lost to Portland Trail Blazers in Conference Semifinals Lost to Portland Trail Blazers in Conference Semifinals Lost to Dallas Mavericks in First Round Lost to Sacramento Kings in First Round Lost to Sacramento Kings in First Round No Playoffs No Playoffs No Playoffs Lost to San Antonio Spurs in Conference Finals Lost to Los Angeles Lakers in Conference Semifinals Lost to Los Angeles Lakers in First Round Lost to Los Angeles Lakers in Conference Semifinals Yes, What a brilliant coach. It's not Doc Rivers fault he's not 79 years old yet. Stooge
I don't thin kFerry's assets are any worse than KP's? Apparently KP couldn't move the best trade chip in the history of the NBA without adding Batum to it, so they must not have been that great.
