    MAYBE all parties want to wait!!!!

    Maybe the Clippers and Billups want to wait until their season is officially over so it’s not a bigger distraction

    Maybe Billups is waiting to see if the bucks fuck up in the playoffs

    The Blazers are being patient and allowing the process to play out. With BOS, DAL, and IND filling their vacancies, the Blazers aren't worried. WAS, ORL, and NOP aren't getting any of the Blazers finalists till the job here is filled.

    If it is announced in the next couple of days it will be Hammon or God forbid MDA.

    The longer it takes to announce the more likely its Billips.

    I think there is conflict over Billups past though. It already cost him the Boston Job.

    Jody wants Hammon, Neil wants Billups (Lillard does to but he also likes Hammon). Neil bring the best used carsalesman since PT Barnum, he will likely talk Jody into hiring Billups.

    MDA will continue to hide on the bench behind Nash in BRK

    exactly. “Stress free” meanwhile texting kids and scouting high school kids 365 days a year sounds like stress to me

    How old are you and do you realize that Allen owned another franchise that went to the highest highs after he let go of the reigns?

    First, you aren’t recruiting all year. You aren’t allowed to. You have 30~ games and travel to half. Then postseason. That’s it. If there is one thing that people might not really understand it’s how grueling travel is for these guys. Absolutely brutal, especially for Portland. College recruiting is some HS games during the winter and summer leagues/tournaments. Which sucks because the whole atmosphere is nauseating with AAU guys and all that. To each their own I guess

    Did you actually see somewhere that Billups didn't get the Boston job because of his past?

    Shut the fuck up already about Billups’ “past” it didn't and won’t cost him any job. Jason Kidd is about to get hired by a third different franchise and he’s actually got a conviction and a pattern of shitty behavior.

    I agree with what Scalma said -- I would be lying if i said his past was not a minor concern like real minor but it's been what 20 plus years since this "might " have happened and he has been pretty dang clean since then so just leave it in the past. If you want to be worried about Billups be maybe concerned he has never been a HC before and stuff like that but bringing up the past is just petty and stupid at this point.

    Horrible post, which is unusual for you.
    By this logic, every GM and most coaches should be fired every year.

    It's a culmination of all the stupid things he has done in 9 years. Each one of those things, looking back at them, should be a fireable offense. So why the hell is he still here????

    I'm not saying he should have been fired right at that moment in time.

    Spurs GM should be long gone, too, then.
    Ditto for Dallas GM.

    Dallas GM is gone. And you can't fire the owner and he's behind a lot of their stupid shit.

    Why the Spurs though?

    Please tell all of us what Neil has done that you consider a success and worth keeping around?
