    Brilliant!

    We fired Tom Penn and Kevin Pritchard to hire OKC's version Tom Penn.

    Sniff... Sniff... does anyone else smell ice?

    I didn't think we'd be smart enough to hire a guy like Cho. We still may not be.

    Given the alternatives we've heard, he's the best of the lot.

    No need to badmouth a GM that has no record to run on. Let him show his stuff before passing judgement.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I agree. Now that we've lost Pritchard, trying to find a future Daryl Morey in Cho seems like the best option.

    I would be happy to see what Cho can do as Blazers' GM.

    I can agree to that. even though a different sport and position.. I was PISSED when Oregon hired an offensive coordinator by the name of Chip Kelly. I was like WTF WHO IS HE AND WHAT HAS HE EVER DONE!? AT A HIGH LEVEL NO LESS!!

    Now I just wait on those lol.

    Well if you think calling him the asian kahn is a compliment, I guess we have 2 different ideas of what means what.

    For those of us who had been represented by Barack Obama before, we knew how he was likely to govern. The same signals are there for Cho, but in a good way.

    Agreed. Most of the good GM's are locked up or fired by us (cough). Trying to find a Morey or Presti etc. seems like a good idea.

    The key to hiring a guy like Cho is to give him some experienced hands as part of his team.

    I don't know anything about him to form an opinion. Same as when we hired KP. Maybe that's a good thing.
