    It's nice to see Brass extending an invitation for working in Blazers in some capacity.

    I think coaching would be perfect for Roy, starting as an assistant and learning the ropes. If Nate's still around in a year or two, I can easily see him wanting Brandon on his staff.

    Not everyone can coach. Magic Johnson proved that. Without knowing Roy personally, I'm not sure which job would fit him the best. Maybe HCP can get in on this one. Would he be better as a coach, front office, or on air?

    I just don't think he has the voice to be on the air.

    He has a better voice than Reggie Miller. I was a huge Reggie fan when I was kid, but that guy has one of the whiniest voices in television.

    Magic never learned how to be a coach. He just started coaching. Roy is young enough that he can learn the ropes and pay some dues, and then if he likes it, try to be a head coach some day.

    But I think coaching, at least head coaching, requires a certain type of personality. Does Roy have that kind of personality? Or were you talking about coaching in general?

    He's a quiet leader type. Kinda' shy. Not sure he would like to be in the middle of everything.

    Now now, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I believe the invitation was assistant coach. It's not like this team is firing Nate (We aren't that lucky) <---- Kidding kidding! But maybe an assistant that works with guards on ball handling, creating shots, how to get shots off in the paint, using the off hand... Things like that.

    On a serious note, why hasn't Buchanan had his "acting" moniker removed yet?

    They never did use the term "colored".... the term was "color commentator".

    Because they made it very clear early on that he's not a candidate for the permanent position. They want to bring in an experienced GM (read: retread).

    Unfortunately, they can't seem to find anyone who actually wants the job...

    My wife got totally offended by that same mistake.

    Wife: "I know who Wheels is, but who's the other guy?"
    Me: "That's Antonio Harvey, the color commentator."
    Wife: "What did you just call him?!"

    I would pay him any amount of money to teach it to as many Blazers as could learn it. I don't think Matthews has the lateral dexterity for it. Williams on the other hand...
