    I'm going to get a little philosophical for a second ... Aside from Popovich, aren't all coaches interim?

    Just hire a coach already. That coach won't be there in 2 years anyway.

    It may have been 20 years, but 20 years is barely a blip on the geologic time scale.

    Well, on that scale the Portland Trail Blazers are temporary. So is the planet. So is the galaxy.

    But I still hope the Blazers hire a good coach.

    clearly, 6000 years isn't a very long time. ;]

    Me too. There are certain threads that need to end and be put out of their misery for all our sake. This is one of them.

    My only question is, do they do the interview in a diving bell or not?

    2.4 is nearly 3, unless you want to nitpick.
    Blazers have not been over the cap "nearly every year".
    PA has not lost a penny with the Blazers, only local businesses he refused to pay have (through a laughable bankruptcy).
    The Blazers have not been a competitive team by any stretch of the imagination since the jailblazers were disbanded.

    Mathematically 2.4 would round to 2, not 3.

    Please define competitive. Is it a Conference Finals team? A playoff team? A +.500 team? Competitive is not a scientific term and is open to interpretation.

    Quick needs a vacation.

    In less than 1 year it will be 2.5 and will round to 3, hence "nearly".

    I define competitive as having a chance to win the title.

    One and done is not competitive by most people's definition.

    So there are only 3 or 4 competitive teams a year? How depressing for NBA fans.

    Maybe they're going to hire a coach based on who has the most stamina? Interesting approach.
