    The good news is that Portland is finally finding a way to make headlines after the first round of the playoffs

    Note to next Blazer GM:

    Hangup if someone named ABM calls you up for a Meet and Greet.

    Well this sucks. I was hoping we would have a very active draft. With this curve ball, I doubt anything will be happening on draft night.

    Make Nate GM in the same way that McHale was made coach in Minnesota. Owner there told him look, if you want someone to win with this roster you assembled, you try it. So why not say to Nate if you aren't happy with the pieces you have o work with(to be fair, I am not either), go get the pieces you need to succeed as coach yourself. Eliminate excuses. Can't succeed with your own guys, you're out.

    because KP just happened to be in the room as Buchanan and Born weaved their 2006 draft web. They got Roy and LMA. Then KP got named GM and traded away Z-bo and Nate got Taurean "4 wins" Green and Kpee traded him, too. Born and Buchanan just bode their time (allowing them to get invited to KP's for wine) and let KP do last year's draft b/c it was his going-away present. It didn't matter, b/c they were already building toxic offers. Then when Cho got hired, they thought "Let's just wait a bit more...this guy won't last long".

    The steady hand(s) on the rudder since 2006!
    In all seriousness, here's what that same article said about them:

    Nate is Parcells now? Buying the groceries so his cooking doesn't suck as much?

    Bring in Rick Adelman or Mike Dunleavy for the GM job.

    Wouldn't that be awesome or what?!?!?! I could see it now. Adelman improving the team, then mid season, he fires Nate and pulls a Pat Riley. Coaches the Blazers by default.

    Buchanan doesn't inspire much confidence to me...

    Just look at the last couple of drafts, bottom line POR track record is NOT good in drafts, the results don't lie....outside of Aldridge\Roy draft, POR has had very little success (Batum aside)...

    2009 & 2010 in particular were horrible

    HCP, can you confirm reports that Cho was seen sitting in the prctice facility parking lot, shortly after being fired, honking twice and laughing hystarically?


    I so stole this comment, but it's hillarious so I thought I'd share
