    I’d take Chauncey over Spo.

    I'm guessing if Riley really wants to be compensated for Spo he'd rather have a draft pick than CJ.

    Also we'd still have to take back salary equal to CJs. Not sure if the Heat are ready to move on from Butler.

    The main thing I care about in a coach is that they can solve the Rubik’s cube of how to adjust to a team doubling on Dame. If they can also figure out how to get a defender out to cover the wide-open 3 point shooter on the wing, even better.

    Is there an option where we can have Powell, Billups (Coach), & Spo (GM/Pres)?

    Great play, we should run that more often.

    I know HD is better but I don't remember the games looking this bad.

    - Dude in Miami (reporter in FLL) saying Spo to Portland is "not impossible."

    - Mutual respect with Spoelstra's dad (used to be a Blazer employee) who still lives in area and Chris McGowan.

    - There may not be any legs to Neil's "this is my call" on the coaching search. He has his guy (read: Billups). The team might overrule Neil's call.

    - Owner of the Heat might be in financial trouble and there could be some discord within the franchise.

    I fucking hate Sports talk radio. That was a painful 4 minutes to listen to.

    Olshey (Riley needs a caddy) for Spoelstra straight up.

    Yeah they didn’t even seem too serious about any of it.

    If Spoelsta was seen flying into Seattle I'd think he's a GM candidate....Portland sounds like a coaching interview to me.

    it's a pipedream, and these cryptic "texts" reeks of a guy desperate for listens.

    So no hard feelings that they fired his dad? It was a long time ago, but I seem to recall that there was. His sister worked for the Blazers too.
