    Maybe...but also makes you wonder how they would know they lost him unless there was tampering going on. And you can still get fined for things an ex-employee did.

    Then they need to address calling someone a sharp shooter, being in the trenches, winning the battle..there are countless words that compare sports to military terms

    I honestly don't even know if what I said is accurate tbh, personally I would have fired him based on him saying that could have been the reason Greg Monroe chose Milwaukie over us and not getting greg made Lamarcus decide to leave.

    It was such a stupid comment that you have to wonder how smart the guy is in general. When the organization is doing everything it can to keep its best player, you don't tell the world he's already gone.

    I'll be honest, I think Kaman might be the better big man coach.

    Leonard did next to nothing in the two years when Hughes had him all to himself. Then Kaman shows up and suddenly Leonard blossoms. I don't think this is a coincidence, and I don't think us signing Kaman to one more year was either.

    Our big guys will be fine if we keep Kaman.

    Yes, I do. I'm talking about Greg's and LA's willingness to commit to the blazers in the first place being contingent on the other player being here. The blazers may have been delusional about LA staying, thinking they could convince him to stay if they got him some help, so I can believe, that they believe, that Hughes sabotaged any chance to sign either.

    Wow, that's rough.

    For those who say that Kaman is a better coach than Hughes, Hughes was the one who coached Kaman when he first came in to the league.

    Apparently Kaman has snatched the pebble from his hand, and it is time for Hughes to leave.

    It's true Kaman was once the learner but now he is the master.

    1. I very much doubt it.
    2. If they were going to get a fine, firing him wouldn't stop it.

    Maybe that says he's a two year rookie coach and 3rd year he's just lost interest

    3. He didn't divulge anything we didn't already know. Not much was really said.

    4. LA was still a Blazer.

    Wasn't there some Leonard interview where he explains he was doing it wrong his first two years in the league?

    Ironically he started doing it the right way when Kaman came to town
