    By a landslide.

    I think we should avoid SVG just because of that alone. I am all for "motivators" at the head coaching position. But, these are grown men, with long histories of major success on the basketball court. You can only yell and scream and belittle so much before even the thickest skins start to go raw.

    The HCP is also more qualified than you for the position.

    Is there anything from Payton about him being interested in coaching?

    I don't think I can be convinced D'Antoni wouldn't be the best thing for Lillard

    Depends on how many zeroes are on the paycheck, I'm sure.

    Lillard is different because he is a rookie. I would also like him to play defense, unlike his other PG's

    I'm sure he didn't tell his other PGs NOT to play defense, just that none of them could.

    Defense is about effort.

    Does he know that zeros after the decimal point do not count?

    Hmm so Ewing is interested in coaching the blazers? I don't think that's a bad idea imo

    Adopting black kids doesn't make you qualified to be an NBA coach. :lol:

    Quick is all over the CSN guys shit

    Pretty sure history shows Paul Allen does whatever he wants, whenever he wants. Ask Rich Cho or Kevin Pritchard or Tom Penn.

    So let me get this straight: Olshey & LeGarie prevented Paul Allen from interviewing Phil Jackson for Blazers president? Bwaaaahhaha!

    They couldn't prevent him! They could recommend against it but he hires them, nothing they could do to stop him from talking to anyone he wants.
