    I'll settle for the same number we won this year, on two conditions:
    1. We've offloaded most of the vets, so we get that win total with the youngest team in the league
    2. Our win rate increases steadily every month, so by the last month of the season we have a winning record (AKA the Poppovich method)

    It doesn’t matter if they still want to tank for lottery picks.

    new coaches are expensive. Coach Billups isn't that expensive. Jody Allen's profit is an exciting player to watch.

    or how about the latest talking point..

    - No coach would want this job

    think about the hundreds of pro assistant, college, & Euro coaches who's dream job is running an NBA roster. It's the big show. Not everyone will get a chance no matter how much coaching work they've put into their careers. It's very rare to have an opportunity to be NBA coach.

    .... nobody wants this job ??

    forget that, SlyPokerDog already put in his application !!

    Yeah. Better to look at somebody else unless we think Billups great.

    I'm the perfect choice if the Blazers want the worst record in the league next year!

    There is nothing to be gained, IMO, by jettisoning CB, if the plan is to trade the vets that have value to layoff teams and take back journeyman players and picks. Sure, he might resign if Portland goes rebuild. Then Portland is out on having to pay him. I’m betting he doesn’t resign. Portland has to pay him regardless. I’m sure after next season the Portland coaching position will be more enticing if Scoot, Sharpe and Ayton play well and the new draft pick(s) show well too. Add in hopefully getting a great pick next year and then the young talent becomes enticing. Of course the ownership debacle is still looming with no end in sight.

    Honestly just make Brogdon a Player Coach and save the money. It’ll give us a gimmick that might get us talked about and we don’t commit to anyone before the various debacles resolve.

    Sucks.

    At least we had a better coach than Stotts for these last 3 years. That is unquestionable fact.

    Easy now, HCP doesn’t like it much when you criticize his buddies.

    Literally just lost everything. Losing Stotts was the beginning of the end.

    Billups was a great player, and a very mediocre coach. No fire, it seems to me he’s talking to the other teams players as much as ours during games. I would be in favor of a change.

    Simons contract is fine. Half max for a half season of Ant power. The Blazers might win half of the half, which is a .250 record. Portland Ant Trail-zers

    Please oh please let Billups go -- He is a joke of a coach he might have been a HoF player but as a coach he is in the Hall of Shame
