    cool...I liked Hollhins but he's 67....I like seeing a younger lead assistant that can handle the grind

    Its kinda funny how you can look back and see which names, such as Vinny Del Negro, are thrown into a group of candidates” purely as a favor lol. vinny probably wants to get back into coaching and Olshey did him a solid.

    so now it’s Chauncey and Brooks…really like the start to this coaching staff.

    "Chauncey Billups' top"? Let's keep their private lives private, shall we?

    This can only mean we're trading for Russell Westbrook.

    It's also a genius way for Chauncey to protect himself from the accusation that all the X's and O's stuff is done by his assistants. Nobody's going to believe that if Brooks is his assistant.

    Hollins could still join, billups still needs to fill out two more front assistant positions along with the back of the bench guys.

    Brooks is a great get as an assistant. Idk why some fans seem to have a hard time separating a head coach with an assistant. There’s a reason why he’s had multiple head coaching jobs. Safe bet he’s a great assistant. Btw he was the first coach that implemented the hack a simmons strategy lol.

    Brooks is better than Vanderpoo.

    seems to me it's premature to be really high or really low on any of the coaching hires, Billups included, until seeing a season of results

    Blazer twitter seems to suffer from being incapable of hiring outside of the Portland universe. Ime, Dame and now David.

    Maybe they should hire who is the best and not just base it on a Portland connection.

    Although I'm sure people will find a way to connect Brooks to the Clippers and Olsheys time there.

    Wait a second...Brooks coached the Thunder, and the Thunder used to play in Seattle...so clearly, the Blazers are moving to Seattle!!!
