    They are still interviewing candidates that they may or may not have permission to talk to with only a month until the draft?

    Epic fail.

    You are anti Larry Miller but you want us to acquire one of the biggest headcases in the league in DeMarcus Cousins (based on your sig)???

    Not at all. The Blazers are doing a great job with their search. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Rich DeVos, Dan DeVos and Alex Martins run the draft. Portland is a model franchise, and I have the sneaky suspicion that the rest of the league will catch on. After all, sports leagues in general are copy cat leagues. They see what works and tend to go that way.

    Trend setters is what we is , Governor

    Sweet them staying the course, makes it that much easier for me to also stay the course and not give this regime another effing penny of mine.

    The management (Allen, Miller, Buchanan, Mensah, etc) are extremely indecisive -- hence the low season ticket re-ups.

    They are down 4% and are having a hell of a time convincing season ticket holders that they are on the right track.

    Considering the past season, losing Roy and Oden, I don't think being down 3.4% at this point is all that bad. Is that just a total # of season ticket holders from last April to this? In other words if someone cancelled in October because of the lockout, that's reflected in the being 3.4% lower? yeah, I don't think that's horrible at all.

    Holy shit - that is a travesty! It means Paul Allen is selling.

    I see your faux outrage and raise you a faux sincerity.

    Losing only 3.4% is damn good for a team that sucked ass the second half of the year and missed the playoffs. I'd be willing to bet that other teams in the same situation have a worse retention percentage right now.
