    Apparently Woj hasn't spoken to MB. There are amazing candidates lining up this job

    I don't think were going to get a guy with GM experience. Its going to be a guy eager to get the title.

    I don't blame them.

    In Portland they wont have the power they have with their current teams -- You're a puppet for Burt and Paul.

    Btw...

    Will a new GM be able to bring in his own talent scouts?

    This is a team that desperately needs a new scouting team -- almost as bad as they need a new medical staff.

    I think PA learned his lesson on this one.

    Cho had it right; this team needs to rebuild and aren't close to being a title contending team.

    The Wallace for cap space and a draft pick is a sign of that IMO.

    Now MB is talking about making Chad the full-time GM. That would be a horrible move.

    In trying for current GMs, Allen is shooting for the Moon. When you have a secure job, why leave unless he doubles your pay. When this fails, he'll go to Plan B, the traditional method, hiring an assistant GM.

    Traditionally, owners don't hire GMs currently employed because 1) why leave security, 2) it's not polite on the GM's part to quit and bring secrets with you, and 3) it's not polite on the owner's part to steal from his peers.

    The historical list of such GM thefts is pretty short.

    It's coming from Larry Miller so take it with a grain of salt.

    As opposed to coming from Adrian Wojnarowski, a guy with a long history of grinding his ax on the Blazers.

    Blazers can save face with this search by offering who they covet the most for the coaching position, the general manager position as well.

    Rick Carlise for instance.

    they could use some new fans too. Some of the current one's have repeated their wild stab in the dark guesses so often they've convinced themselves it's the truth.

    Who wouldn't want to work on eggshells around Paul Allen and Bert Kolde?

    One day you're sitting courtside and your team goes from 21 wins to 54 wins, the next you're banished to the second level.

    Paul Allen is incompetent.

    If your blindly a homer of anything Blazer related including the inept former coach, doesn't it make sense to blindly support the incomptent owner?

    That's a failure in logic. Owner>>>>coach

    It's "you're", fwiw.
