    Three rookies tell me Kaleb

    Lillard tells me Shaw

    Common sense tells me Malone

    I want an X's and O's guy. I don't care who it is.... I just want them to be strong in that area.

    One of my main wet dreams this off season is for Portland to hire Gary Payton as an assistant coach. No one in the world could do a better job with Lillard than him. Both from Oakland, same agent, Lillard has already talked to him and looks up to him. Portland needs to get this done, IMO

    Payton is a great idea, if he's interested.

    Malone for HC
    GP for AC
    Canales as BFF

    Sounds good to me.

    For those continuing to ask, I still think Brian Shaw will be the next head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers. I expect decision by 7/15.

    I think Kaleb's official title should be BFF.

    Even though Malone and D'Antoni are my top picks I'll gladly take a package deal of Brian Shaw and Roy Hibbert!

    Jason Quick on Brian Berger's show just now (paraphrased):

    "I've talked to Jerome Stanley (Shaw's agent) 3 times in the last week. The first time, I asked him if the Blazers had reached out to them about the coaching position, and he said 'no.' The second time, I asked if the Blazers had reached out, and he said they hadn't, but if they did, it would be very 'hush-hush'. The third time, I asked him the same question, and he simply said, 'no comment.' "
