    When you should be out scouting other teams. See, you're already off focus. That sound you just heard was your resume' going through the shredder.

    Now if you would like to re-apply for Asst Director of College Scouting, I would be willing to set up an interview for you with the Director. Warning, he is a big time analytics guy.

    You could be correct if it meant the Blazers sticking around it could definitely be worse.

    Kobes mind for the game is great no doubt about it.

    I can scout people from the front-line. Only 2 games going on at once. Everything else would be scouting.

    For real though, my skillset is top-notch. I've been through 2 years of business school, know the CBA, know how to evaluate players, have played the game at the college level. My resume is golden.

    I'm from Portland and FUCK California AND Vegas!

    My mother lived in Henderson NV for over a decade and YES it's a shithole. Just go two blocks off the strip.

    Roaches literally run down the street.

    And who the fuck are you ROOK?

    Ive developed neural networks and AI’s that use large databases for robotics. I could do that for making more educated guesses on drafting or signing the right players. Lots of data out there to eat up. There thats my resume lol. Shredder.

    Cept that the city and the team aren't in a discussion about building a new stadium for the team, and the city hadn't just spend a TON of money building a football stadium and baseball stadium. So yeah, "dolla dolla bill y'all" does apply. But it's not the same as what happened in Seattle, so bringing it up as though it proves some kind of point or makes you appear to be more knowledgeable about the situation is kind of dumb. Because it doesn't.
