@maxiep nice. "The Blazers hoped to let the dust settle on this season before making a decision on Stotts, but Stotts and his agent wanted a quick resolution in the case they needed to explore other opportunities. Stotts is believed to be a candidate in Indiana should the Pacers make a change, sources said."
Here's the issue: Having a happy Dame on the roster is more important to winning than having a good coach. So if Dame wants Kidd, you give him Kidd.
My guess is Dame already knows who Neil wants to target and may be throwing this out there now to simply justify a trade request later by saying see they won’t get me help or the coach I want to play for. Yes it’s a bit conspiracy theory but...
Ah Jesus. Mercy....MERCY! No douchebags, and no social justice statement hires. Please. Just someone competent who knows what they are doing and how to improve the team. Please. Mercy Olshey.....MERCY. Jason Kidd is one of the bigger douchebags I've ever seen in this league, and the only thing I've heard about Becky is that "she's a woman". Just please.....please Olshey.....MERCY!
At this point, I think both Dame and Olshey know that Olshey is working for Dame if he wants to keep his job.
Since when has Happy Dame led the team to any winning that mattered? Maybe it’s time Dame had a coach that wasn’t a buddy and more of a coach.
Is Chris Haynes even that well connected to Lillard anymore. Isn’t he a beat writer for the Cavs. Do you think him in Lillard have some kind of a relationship where they talk often and Lillard is going to spill the beans? That’s the thing about Twitter. You can throw anything at the wall and it will stick. Quotes aren’t needed for a story to be ran with.
Yeah so let me get this straight... we're talking about the associate head coach of last year's championship team. A guy who has taken multiple teams to the playoffs as head coach. A first ballot hall of fame point guard from the same city as our best player. A guy who is strong at Xs and Os and player motivation. What the fuck do people think we're getting here in Portland... and whose resume is better than this one? Spo... yeah in a way but last time I checked he was employed as a head coach. Who else?
Or he has talked to Olshey and Kidd or Billups were the two they decided they wanted to go after. Then they agreed they would interview both and make a good solid decision that both of them agreed on. I know conspiracy theory all the way but it sure could be possible?
Head coach does a lot of that but every game plan has input from it's assistant. Assistant coaches can be very valuable if there correctly.
Indeed i like billups also the man was Genius floor General and head coach on the floor his basketball IQ was similar to Kobe
