Blazers hire Director of Basketball Strategy

[BlazerBeav]

Seems a little late to discover strategy, but I'm up for anything.

[Cugel]

not sure what that job entails. sort of like VP of people.

 

[tlongII]

Sounds like a job perfect for @BonesJones !

 

[Titan]

Maybe the organization is taking up 3D chess?

 

[OneSport3]

Could this be the precursor to the hiring of Becky Hammon?

Woman owner, woman front office, woman head coach

 

[Labinot41]

She needs to be promoted to blazers head coach ASAP

I fuckin hope so

evidently she’s joining Olsheys staff. Wonder if she’ll play a role in recruiting Hammon. And no it’s not cuz she’s a woman. Seems they had some overlap in their careers in Russia and played together on all star teams, so maybe they know each other.

 

[Natebishop3]

I would love to know what this job actually entails.

 

[e_blazer]

Hmm. I was kind of thinking that they would promote Blaze, but I like this hire better.

 

[Duckhook]

So dribbling 1 on 5 on offense isn’t a sound strategy?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Hmm. I was kind of thinking that they would promote Blaze, but I like this hire better.

THE CAT?!? PROMOTE THAT CAT?!?

 

[Mr. Robot]

how do you pronounce "asjha"

theres bosnian female name "asja", so no "h"

 

[B-Roy]

First strategic move: Dump Melo. The teams performance afterwards will make her look like a great hire.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

This seems like a move by Olshey to secure his job.

"Look Jody, I hired someone and she says I'm great! You should listen to her."

thats not how you protect carmelo anthonys legacy

 

[Mr. Robot]

not bad at all

What makes you think this job is a promotion? Sounds like professional scapegoat to me, which I think you’ll agree is a perfect job for a cat.

Maybe the league now mandates that each team have a woman in management. With no NBA experience, what does she offer that hundreds of men lack. Clue: The first tweet comment says that she gives a good interview. A good talker. I'd have never guessed.

should’ve left this in the drafts boss.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

not bad at all

What's with the shoes?

 

[jlprk]

Those shoes are old!

By the age of twelve, she reached her adult height, so she was taller than most of her teammates, boys and girls. Her shoe matched her age for a time, until she peaked out at size 13.[1]

No $hit? That's awesome.

You’re just envious of her having three pairs of shoes.

 

[beast blazer]

Score more points than the other team.

 

[beast blazer]

Next they'll hire someone to be director of butt wiping technique

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Score more points than the other team.

That is the philosophy we are living now while many here are saying the philosophy should also entail holding the other team to fewer than you score.

Some players swing one way, some the other and the rare unicorn does both.

It would appear that some of our problems are from bringing in guys of the hold persuasion and expecting them do hold just as well in an out score’em world.

You would really hope she's here to clean Olshey's mess. To check, report and fire stuff. If she's Olshey's signing, that means Becky going full time in Spurs next season and he couldn't recruit her.
As for strategy, GM had some "cake" strategy already, so maybe, maybe, hopefully, she come from owners.

The “cake” strategy was Pritchard’s. Olshey overhauls the roster every year.
