    99% of the time we have no idea what Neil is doing. Most of his moves come completely out of left field. We had no idea he was pursuing DJJ. The Nurk trade came out of nowhere. The Powell trade wasn't on our radar at all.

    I have a feeling our true coaching candidate might be someone who hasn't been mentioned at all.

    I have a feeling his plans for this offseason aren't going to be anything that any of these articles are throwing around.

    You know who we haven't talked about as the next Blazers' coach?

    Terry Stotts.

    Great points. I still have insiders within that organization, and they all say it’s tight lipped

    One of the takeaways from yesterday hidden in all that smugness was that he did not think it was fair to teams still in the playoffs to start interviewing their assistants.

    You can't slip and reveal your plan to the unwashed masses when you don't have one.

    Hopefully he takes a different approach to a new coach than he does in free agency, throwing out offers, first one to take it gets it

    I sure hope so. Most of the ones mentioned would be rookie head NBA coaches, and I don't want a rookie.

    If you still have insiders, than it is your fault
