    If they're in full panic fire-fighting mode, I wouldn't put it past them to try to find some way out of the contract.

    I highly doubt that the guy who they say did the investigation, is actually the guy.

    Right wing nutjob, who was easily found in Facebook/Instagram/twitter?

    And he didn't come up with a way to make an African American look bad in this case?

    This smells like that whole shit about the spa, which turned out to be a made up story.

    Former FBI agent who is a total nutter and easily found out on line...uh huh. That just happens to be the one they went with?

    It's getting deep in here.

    Sure, but how long would it take to find a replacement? I don't think it's a fast process.

    I disagree with you here.
    Neil is not & has not been professional for a long time. He's arrogant & condescending. Outside of the 2-3 times a year they have an 'official' press conference, he's nowhere to be seen.

    I never specified a reason.

    I just said it was 5 years too long...

    it would be shocking to me if they have not lineup up potential replacement candidates already.

    then again, the general feeling of incompetence i get from mcgowan et al prolly reflects in their preparedness.

    This thread will not be closed. It will not be renamed. It will not be moved to OT. It will not be filtered to remove posts that show Billups in a negative light. This is the current reality of our team and new coach and we must face it. It will not be conveniently sweeped under the rug. This forum exists to discuss the Blazers and everything involving them.

    Some think this has already been rehashed too much, that Billups is innocent, that it's time to move on. Others don't share those views. It's not comfortable. It may look bad for our site. Sure, Dame is pissed about it. We are all. Get over it.

    It's still on page one towards the top. Eventually, it won't be. It will work its way down the page and then disappear onto the 2nd and so forth (before someone eventually bumps its in a year).

    Yes. Fire Neil & keep Billups.

    The timing isn't ideal, but I'd rather have someone else orchestrating the off-season than Neil. We can use the lead scout and Patterson to get us through FA.

    We should back out of hiring Chauncey and give Hammon the job to appease the SJW.

    Yes, I'm sure there are many ex-FBI agents in the Oregon area that do investigations on professional athletes. And also happened to make an inquiry to the same department that handled the case 24 years ago.

    It's literally all public information.

    I think that would be a home run of a move.

    So wait, the guy is supposedly a Blazer fan and transphobic?

    That's the guy they "went" with?

    Sorry, that doesn't pass the BS test.

    Yes, they can get out of it by paying him the 4 years and not taking the option for the 5th.

    I don't see that happening.
