Eggers (and some Blazers employees) suggest Petrie as Cho's replacement

Well, he does have a decent track record. And the history with him, PA, and Adelman is intriguing. Only problem is, he's on contract for two more seasons.

 

I'd be perfectly happy with Allen hiring Petrie, but I can't help but think this will probably go off the rails in much the same way that it did the last time Allen squeezed him out.

 

Petrie wouldn't come back to work for Paul Allen on a dare.

 

If Petrie were willing to come here, that would be a pretty strong hire.

And if the Blazers are willing to dispense with Cho so quickly, maybe they'll call it quits on McMillan's deal too...which I'd support if they could get Adelman.

Petrie and Adelman has been a fairly successful partnership.

 

I'd be thrilled to see the Blazers hire Petrie. Who knows, maybe the reason for the delay in starting a search is that the decision's already made and they just have to wait for Petrie, or someone else in a similar situation, to get out of a contract with their current team.

 

That could be what Paul Allen is thinking as well. If he is indeed pushing for a win-now attitude because of health issues, as has been rumored, going back to guys who were proven performers could be exactly what he's looking for.

 

Wow if we got both Adelman and Petrie, then I would be extremely excited. I think that combo has been very successful in Portland and Sacramento.

 

HUUGE IF

Can't see Petrie wanting to deal with P.A.'s shenanigans all over again

 

Man, that is like dating your x wife, I just can not see PA doing that. I do like the idea, but if I remember right, the reason Petrie was let go was that he would not fire a coach..was that Rick?

 

Indeed it was, and obviously nothing's changed.

 

I'd love this move and will not be surprised at all when Paul hires someone who is a huge step up from cho, if i didnt like the guy sitting next to me every game i'd fire his ass too..

 

Petrie's a smart guy, a Princeton guy. I'm sure he's not about to go work for Paul Allen realizing how capricious the guy is.

Give it up Paul! You know just as much about basketball as you do football! NOTHING!

P.S. Patty Mills sucks giant balls!

 

So if I'm Petrie, i demand a fat long term contract.

And if Allen really wants Petrie, he gives it to him.

 

Called it!

 

Boy... wouldn't it be funny if Petrie fucked over PA.

Paul: Hey Jeff, I know it's been a while but would you ever consider coming back to the Blazer?

Petrie: Sure, I'd consider it, but you'd have to get rid of Cho first.

Paul: Done. Let me make the call.

*a few minutes later*

Paul: Okay, I called him up and fired him. Now how about coming back to the Blazers?

Petrie: My answer is no.

Paul: But you said you'd consider it!

Petrie: I did consider it. My answer is no. Go buy yourself another tennis superstar.

 

Funnier like lupus?

 

This is hilarious. At the exact time you were typing this, I was postulating the same dream team to my Chiropractor.
