Then don't have him in the interview process. In any event this is on Neil and the front office. I'm just saying anyone in the interview process should have done more homework and listened more.
He's involved in the interview so he doesn't have any questions about what was said. They have him there in the effort to be 100% transparent with him so he is comfortable with the basketball side of things. It's not to make him in charge of background checks and PR.
Apparently you haven't had much experience interviewing others for jobs. Tasks like background checks get delegated to 1 or 2 individuals. If it comes up satisfactory - you move on. If there is one 'should have' in this whole situation - it's the fans who 'should have' minded their own business.
"Dame sucks ass as a human being... so for 2 2nd rounders + 2 overpaid dorks who are wrecking our salary cap, you should trade him to my favorite team."
I probably need to step away for a while, but I am starting to get really annoyed at.... Becky Hammon. Her twitter is silent. She should have told the SJW crowd to back off Lillard, who has openly supported women https://clutchpoints.com/blazers-news-damian-lillard-thinks-wnba-players-should-get-paid-more/ and Becky in particular: https://news4sanantonio.com/sports/...an-lillard-gives-high-praise-for-becky-hammon This is just 2 occasions off the top of my head, I'm sure there are others.
BGD thats not fair though. we have our production manager in on every interview for every canditate to work for us. He never knows the personal history. Only the work history. The personal history (criminal past, etc) is the job of HR. Dame was there for on the court and locker room analysis. As well as personality fit for him. Not for him to be there to question the validity of the accusation and certainly should not be getting himself educated on the situation. This is all in NO. Nothing on dame. Regardless of what @Natebishop3 thinks.
It begins..... The beginning of the media heel Dame Lillard turn..... Once he leaves Portland, watch he became public enemy number one. I am not gonna play couch Judge, if the case was settled, no need to keep going to the well. If not, then he should be in jail. he is not, lets keep it moving.
I just can't believe that so many people, after 9 years, remain blind to Olshey's SOP. He always gives himself cover. He made a point of saying Dame was going to be involved, had Dame in for the interview of Billups, hired Billups who was the guy he wanted from the beginning (I'm convinced the rest of the coaching search was fake), and lookee here...who is getting blamed by some for the Billups hire...? is it the GM, no, apparently it's the player that really doesn't have any say.
The reddit sub is going full on cancel culture on Dame and Chauncey. Seriously disgusting. I will never... NEVER bash him. IMO, he is the greatest Blazer of all time. He even got my wife to be a fan of the Blazers and she hated basketball. It seriously pisses me off to see ANYONE bash him. Especially right now.
Seriously? I can go sit in and observe a City Council meeting. I can even speak. Does that mean I have any control over the outcome?
well, if you're Dame, then you'll get blamed for whatever fuckup the city council comes up with seriously, Dame was probably thinking "I have some input in this hire" meanwhile, Olshey was probably thinking: "Dame has no say at all, but this way his presence will give me some CYA for a decision I made weeks ago...win/win"
dame back on IG live right now working out with his guy in Tigard seemingly hours after flying back from Cabo an hour earlier. this dude is relentless man. we better not lose him.
Lol. whoa there. You may have been here longsr than me but im pretty sure i take that cake. If you wanna pose as my minime ill accept that.
Is an interview part of the hiring process? I’d say it is…I’d say it’s the main part of a hiring process. He was in the meeting. Players don’t do that. That is not “not being involved at all in the hiring process”
Becky Hammon's fault? Like blaming Biden for January 6 insurrection. Dame should not be bashed. He should not be traded. Blazers PR department should be canned
