Did you see what you wrote? Quite frankly, no other response was suitable. He's the new Kevin Penn!!!!!! "You never know!"
I like it. Certainly better than Ferry, and a bit better than Pfund, IMO. Of course, I reserve the right to change my mind if he F's everything up!

I'm sorry, I was unaware that you possessed a DeLorean and had ventured into the year 2015 to see that Cho had become a complete failure and in no way shape or form had a chance to combine the qualities of both Kevin Pritchard and Tom Penn. My bad, they were the best thing since sliced motherfucking bread and could not be surpassed by this Rich Cho man.
Really, the thread should be: "Mount OddEnormous Explodes; recently hired GM Rich Cho dies in ensuing lava wave, never became as good as Kevin Pritchard."
I understand. The Blazers fired a competent GM without having a back-up plan in place. That was dumb and a needless risk. OTOH, they lucked into a replacement who might actually be *good*, instead of settling for some John Nash type hack. Frankly, I am relieved and grateful.

If you want to hand the team over to an unknown quantity at the very moment we are trying to make the final push for a championship... good news for you. We have. None of this is about Pritchard or Cho individually. It's about our failure of an organization. It's about firing 2 people to hire 1 person with less experience on the cusp of a championship run. If "he could be" is good enough for you so be it. I'm just surprised more teams haven't taken this route if it's such a good idea.
I'd rather not be putting faith in "might" at this point in the franchises run. How do you know Cho isn't going to be the next John Nash?
Might, you never know, could be...... Now THAT'S confidence I can buy into. He might be. Perfect timing Blazers.
