    Not surprised that he used the Blazers to get a new contract with the Clippers.

    We waited too fucking long.....like a year too fucking long.

    Paul Allen didn't want the best candidate

    He was using us to get a contract


    It's one of those

    Quick did mention that they keep changing their minds and all are not on the same page with the candidates.

    **Waits for Orlando to announce the hiring of Mike Malone**

    "We knew he wanted to go with the Clippers. He wasn't our first choice"

    At this point I've already accepted that as the outcome.

    Apparently the Magic are interviewing Pippen for the head coaching position. Interesting.

    I wonder if Paul Allen reached out to Phil Jackson and that is why he turned down the Magic??

    It was reported he turned it down to pursue another NBA front office job. Not sure why it would be us? Maybe GM/coach?

    Sam Vincent (who tried to get Jackson in Orlando) said Phil doesn't want to coach anymore.

    It is interesting though.....Maybe Jordan wants to hire him in some capacity?

    IDK, seems interesting though that Olshey signed with the Clippers today. Either he used us for leverage, we are getting close to hiring (Morway?) or Phil Jackson has caught Pauls attention.

    He's a name but does he have the ability to find talent and put together a winning team? Hard to fathom but he's probably less qualified as a GM than our college scouts.

    Why? Red Auerbach's and John Wooden's love child couldn't win with this Blazer team.

    Not talking about coaching? Jackson doesn't want to coach, sounds like he wants to be a GM.

    Or the Blazers are Clown Town, and nobody worth anything would touch Kolde's Krazy bunch without being vastly overpaid?

    He's never been a GM, and he wasn't at all responsible for getting any of the 4 Hall of Fame players he coached.

    So? Doesn't mean he doesn't have the knowledge or know how to do it. The guy has been around the NBA for years and is one of the higher regarded people in basketball.

    Jerry West, Larry Bird, Danny Ainge etc seem to have done OK.

    FUCK. He was definitely the candidate I wanted. Oh well, hopefully we can land Morway now. I'm personally even fine with CB, the only person I don't like is Bowers. I think a lot of people on this board place too much blame on CB for the drafts and such when it is not entirely his fault.

    Babbitt was KP's last pick, and the rumor has been on this board that not taking Faried was a key part in making the Felton deal. The FA deals he made were also pretty damn good considering what had happened as the season began and what we needed. A good vet bigman in Kurt and scoring to replace BRoy in Jamal. Looking back, this season just did not work out the way it was supposed to go and CB & Co. made the right moves to set us up for summer.

    Anyone want to take a stab in the dark of Larry Miller's response?
