    Honestly don't know what's more ignorant, this horribly dated, sexist and misogynistic take, or the rant about the vaccine.

    No surprise tho that it comes from the same source.

    Are you chastising my post or the original post?

    The original post is allowed, as ignorant, sexist and misogynistic as it is.

    Get ready for D'Antoni. Won't help the defense, but the ball will swing around on offense at least.

    Common misconception. He had the best defensive in the playoffs last season with Houston.

    Potential coaching vacancies (in my order of desirability, taking into account market, stability of ownership, star presence, roster constructions, etc).

    - BOS - big market, higher expectations, but more stability than probably anyone else on this list.
    - NOP - essentially a clean slate, but they hired SVG last year
    - POR - ownership/management uncertainty, and really high expectations, but Dame might be the most coachable superstar in the league
    - LAC - again, high expectations but almost no roster flexibility. Might not even be open since they hired Lue last season
    - SAS - easy place for Hammon to transition if Pop retires
    - WAS
    - SAC - desperate for playoffs but roster is trash

    Quick had an article earlier in the Spring where he said the Blazers already have Stotts' replacement in mind. Hopefully they get on that soon. I don't want to compete for these candidates.

    the original post. this is not a good reflection for the official message board of the team. And this isn't the first time he has posted such horrible stuff

    Houston was actually pretty good on defense. And he adapts his system to his players' strengths. I wouldn't mind, but I want someone fresh.

    Is it misogynistic to ask what head coaching experience she has had, or ask how a player known for her prolific offense would help the Blazers become a good defensive team? If you take her standing within six feed of Pops, what other qualifications does she have? Given there are solid defensive players that also were assistants to Pops, wouldn't they be better choices?

    Nothing against Hammon, but other than the fact that it would be a major virtue signal in a town known for it, I don't see how she could possibly be the best choice--and it has nothing to do with her gender. If you want a female coach that badly then pick up a successful one from the college ranks.

    And unless you have a Ph.D. in biotechnology to immunology, I would zip it on shooting down someone else's opinion on the vaccine.

    Considering that's not the message he was presenting...


    But no, it's not. If it's no different than how people act about male coaches.
    I have a friend whose career is actually in biotechnology and I would trust his opinion on it over some idiot I watched on YouTube.

    Does Serbian have a PhD in that field?

    If I'm named coach I'll let the forum pick one play to run per quarter.

    Well, I won't do a hail Mary, since we've seen that play played out for the last 9 years...

    And a vital member of the coaching staff could likely depart this offseason.

    The Lakers front office has raved about assistant coach Jason Kidd, expressing how he’s been a phenomenal presence in the organization from his innovative ideas to his communicating skills and to his ability to rally the troops, sources said.

    Kidd — who was previously a head coach in Brooklyn and Milwaukee — is expected to interview for the Boston Celtics head coach opening and is expected to be a top target of the Portland Trail Blazers with the anticipation that Terry Stotts will be relieved of his duties after nine seasons with the team, sources said.

    The Lakers believe Kidd should be a top candidate among all available NBA coaching gigs.
