    Jarron Collins would be someone I bet the Blazers seriously consider.

    Olshey just said that they have around 20-25 candidates that will be reduced to a more manageable number before they start formal interviews in the coming week or so.

    Chad Doing on 620 said there might be legs to this Spoelstra thing. It's a longshot but not an impossibility.

    Said to keep an eye on their ownership and Riley's tenure there for a shakeup.

    I am not going to lie Spoelstra is kind of my dream hire but not likely cause i do not see him leaving Miami unless there is a shakeup.

    Truth is all the rumored candidates have warts cause if they did not guess what they would be a HC more then likely that is why IF i am the Blazers or a Fan you hope for a shakeup in Miami and swoop in for the steal.

    What if Spo wants more control... Would anyone like him as a replacement to Olshey?

    I agree. At least as an Associate Head Coach. He checks a lot of boxes for me.

    Yeah, if Spo said in his interview that he wanted more control over the roster and Masai Ujiri was available, maybe Jody just goes with Spo as coach/GM and Ujiri as president of basketball operations.

    I would fucking love that.

    I’d fire Neil’s ass in a millisecond and offer Spoelstra the coach and GM position if that’s what it took. Wish Paul Allen was alive.

    Neil could actually finesse that request. He could remain president of basketball operations and offer Spo head coach and VP of player personnel.

    Budenholzer is about to be available. Another poor playoff coach, so look for him to be considered

    You know what's funny, that fat motherfucker Jokic now all of sudden shot 10/23 against Phoenix, need to see who was guarding him. Our defense was just horrendous

    Ayton, and they were not calling fouls that they were calling on Nurkic.
