    Said a couple of items worth mentioning

    1.He and Berger both believe Shaw is the guy. Quick reaches out to Shaw's agent a few times a week, and it has gone from no offer yet, to no comment. Also believes it is one of the main reasons Hibbert is interested in joining Portland.

    2. No new Blazer news, but thinks today could be a news day for the Blazers (might have said big news day, but I can't remember.)

    3. Thinks Thomas will obviously be back unless included in trade, does not think Portland has any interest at all in bringing back Hickson.

    4. Thinks adding a PG like Toney Douglas for basically nothing is a perfect scenario for Portland.

    My first choice is still D'Antoni but Shaw seems like a great coach to have for a rookie PG. It'll also make Hibbert's transition smoother, IF we land him.

    What makes Brian Shaw a good choice?

    I am surprised that they would have zero interest in Hickson. I'm not surprised that they didn't pick up his QO, but you would think if there was a role for him here and the money was right they would sign him.

    I think they are planning on bringing Freeland over. He'll be the backup PF.

    I think simply because he is so highly regarded, and is next in line to go from assistant to head coach? What I like about him is that he should be able to relate to Lillard very well, being both from Oakland and a PG. I am not posting this as a pro and anti Shaw thing, but

    I still say there is something negative about Hickson that we just don't know about. Maybe it is a simple as money, but it just feels like he is not well liked by his teammates. .

    As experienced an assistant coach you'll find. Ex-NBA Player that has won multiple championships as both a player and a coach. Only problem is... as a Laker...

    It's ok, he'll be a Laker again soon enough. He just needs some head coaching practice in PDX before he moves back to LA.

    It's a good thing you're not the GM.
