    Ownership team puts the management team in place, that decides on the coach and the players that fill out the roster.

    The logic is perfectly valid.

    That is the worst excuse for bad spelling I've ever heard, Mister.

    Don't pull the grammar police card. You're better than that.

    Yes. Thanks for proving my point.

    Ownership>>>coach. That's what I posted.

    LOL. Piece of work!

    Guess who put that coach in place, bud. If you blindly are a homer of the coach, why aren't you blindly in favor of the Seattle owner who put that coach in place?

    I'm not blindly a homer of the coach. I said it was time for him to leave when he got fired. Clearly his time here was over, and it was time to move on. I also think it's time for the owner to sell the team, or at least get rid of his lackeys.

    Are you going to ignore I said it was time for Nate to go? Just as I think it's time for Allen to go?

    I'm not quite sure what your complaint with me is at this point.

    Yes.

    The Blazer are turned down before they even get that chance.

    Larry Miller & Co. aren't close like they claim -- more like scrambling.

    Being without a real GM for an entire year is unacceptable.

    You supported Nate until the bitter end.

    I really think that's the best course of action. I wish Paul would sell the team and the new owner would completely clean house.

    New management.

    New training staff.

    New coaching staff.

    Everything. Fire them all. New marketing staff. Call it "the great purge of 2012".

    That has nothing to do with your latest beef.

    You had a logical failure. Sorry.

    He played devil's advocate until the bitter end. There's a difference.

    And just as important: NEW SCOUTS!

    The International scouts have been just as bad. Batum, once a projected top-10 pick, fell to the Blazers. That was a no-brainer.

    Claver?

    Koponen?

    Khryapa?

    Monia?

    Seung-Jin?

    If Paul could step back and allow people that know what they're doing to run the show, I don't care if he stays as owner. That said, which good basketball mind wants to come and be a jester in the Bert Kolde Kingdom? Paul has a lot of money, which has been nice as a Blazer fan, but he doesn't know how to spend it, which is obvious when you see his shrinking fortune, compared to other billionaires.

    And that's the problem. Paul is not a business man. He has no idea what he's doing so he pays others to know what he's doing. It's not working for this franchise.

    He pays others, let allows himself and his inner circle to have influence. That's the primary problem, IMO.

    Yeah. I think it's worth it to give up his wealth to have a decent owner/owners.

    If he didn't really mean it, why is he still sarcastic about Van Gundy or D'Antoni or Thibodeau being Coach of the Decade? He still criticizes McMillan's firing as much as ever.

    What a naive view of how owners of any company act. So you want him to fork over the money and control without being closely involved. What are you, 12?

    What feigned ignorance of Allen's charity. So you don't like him forking over the money and control to his many, many grateful recipients. What are you, Scrooge?

    You are one confused, inconsistent little puppy.
