    Why would he want to work at the airport when he likely will make more playing in the NBA?

    Anyone that watched ET's time in Portland I think would come to the conclusion that no, no we should not bring him back for any reason in any position. Good by and good riddance.

    Looks like I’m gonna have to rig this pole or demand a recount for matching signatures!

    NO WAY IN HELL DO WE WANT TURNER

    I think it's funny (and sad) that several of the people who say no to Turner are actually saying that they would say yes, except for our coach. To me, that's a damning indictment of a head coach that a team should eschew a useful piece because they don't trust his decision making.

    Not really true but of course if you watched games on TV you might think that. Live things seemed different. For some reason Turner had a way of effecting the team in a very positive way even when off the court. I honestly could not put my finger on this exactly but he did effect the team no question. Players looked to him for leadership.

    Stotts is playing the role of Art Howe in Moneyball.

    You know sometimes coaches play guys more than they want, perhaps because they are told to do so from someone above them.

    I think with Turner he played the minutes he did because we severely lacked ball handling off the bench. That team desperately needed a true backup PG. Hell, we still do.

    As much as I hated Mo Williams, he was the last decent bench point guard that we've had. Maybe Bazz I guess.

    I'd put money on that we will still be saying that in 2 months from now.

    Neil has this weird habit of trying to make short shooting guards into point guards. It hasn't worked out very well for us.

    Can't remember if Steve Blake last year here was before or after Mo but he was decent.
