    then how is Portland supposed to get Suggs, WCJ, and 2 FRP's for Simons? Are the mock trade folks pulling our leg?

    That particular trade proposal was pretty roundly ridiculed as unreasonably imbalanced.

    Is Simons worth any of Suggs OR WCJ OR FRPs? Probably not.

    Worth all 3? LMAO dream on.

    My first thought was, is this the training wheels coming off?

    Get Billups some proper assistants.

    I don't think you can say "fired" if their contracts weren't picked up, they just didn't extend them maybe?

    I believe only 2 of the 5.
    One left on their own choice.
    2 did not get renewed.

    The other 2 are still with the team (I think)

    I wouldn't be surprised if that one had a backup plan but wouldn't have left if his contract had been renewed.

    Do not let accuracy get in the way of hyperbole.

    if the Blazers have the least accurate shooting team in the NBA, why are Blazer fans expected to be accurate ??

    Why no replacements yet? I would try to get one guy out of the Miami system. Maybe one out of OKC?

    Yo @UKRAINEFAN did you know that Poor Jeter was part of the Ukrainian National Basketball Team?

    I just worked the first round for the Clippers and Coach Mike Fratello was our color commentator. He told me some stories of him coaching that team with Pooh as a player. I had no clue.

    I remember Jete’s vividly at U of P. He was nothing like his cousin Derek. Still a solid player though. I think he had a couple cups of coffee in the NBA. Probably equivalent to a Rumeal Robinson career.

    Looks like Chauncey won't be coaching the Suns.

    Do you want John Canzano to start posting in here? Because that's how you get John Canzano to start posting in here.
