    weird, so chat with Sloan wasn't an interview, just a job offer?

    Funny to read 4 different interpretations of what was likely the same quote:

    Trail Blazers ‏@pdxtrailblazers
    Neil Olshey says the meeting with Jerry Sloan was NOT an interview

    Chris Haynes ‏@ChrisBHaynes
    Neil Olshey said he offered Jerry Sloan a formal offer. He later took his name out.

    Mike Tokito ‏@mtokito
    Olshey said he offered Jerry Sloan the #Blazers job.

    Joe Freeman ‏@BlazerFreeman
    Olshey said he offered Jerry Sloan a chance to formally interview for #Blazers coaching job during their talk. Sloan eventually declined.

    Because a coach with more experience would bench his ass?

    Wes was awesome though. Great interview. Obviously he and LMA are the leaders on this team.

    POR coaching search will go deep into July. Olshey said pool to be pared at close of Vegas, then he will deliberate before Allen brought in

    Why would they offer the job to Sloan? He must be a Rube.

    Someone jokingly told @wessywes2 he was the reason Jerry Sloan declined #Blazers job. He quipped back: "No, I'm the reason he retired."


    LOL

    With this roster still a few years away they had the audacity to go after Phil?

    From this, I think it's pretty obvious that Olshey is not in tank mode.

    Edit: Funny rep Maris -- I did catch my one unintentional negative (wait is that a double negative again???). LoL

    I wonder if they offered him the Presidents job? Wasn't he wanting to do that earlier, or was that the GM job Phil Jackson wanted?

    Phil is just waiting to see if Howard goes to LA, so I he can coach them to another finals run.

    Like Phil would fuck with his win/loss record by not having a MVP to run his team.

    Doesn't Tex Winter live in Portland? That's all you need.
