    I wanna answer the poll as meh. We know nothing of what kinda coach he will be.

    The baggage is also a bit worrisome to me.

    Such a well-reasoned, articulate response. I suppose I'm a "snowflake" too, huh? Too "woke" and "beta" for you.

    Chauncey has a foundation in Denver and did lots of charity work. Let’s not discount the good things he’s done.

    Chauncey might be the only coach who could get away with telling Melo he's not going to run every play for him and to not shoot the ball every time he touches it.

    Or it was Chauncey's to lose and they did the smart thing and considered other candidates.

    he gave hammon press, increasing her profile, and threw his agent a bone with MDA. Wouldn’t say it was nothing.

    OK, I'm missing something then, either from the tweet or your post. The way I took the tweet about their being big repercussions if the Blazers didn't get this done sounds to me like it was really uncertainty on what they were going to do, not Billups. That if the Blazers didn't go with Billups a lot of big dominoes were going to start falling in Portland that would be felt leaguewide.

    nah I’m an idiot, I didn’t see you were replying to a tweet. Idk who that guy is, but if what he’s saying is true, I’d guess Olshey would’ve gotten fired/resigned if he didn’t get his guy.

    Yeah - people forget that John Wayne Gacy made a lot of kids very happy with his clown act.
