Your theory just doesn’t add up. Jody has been hands off since she’s been in charge. If the matter was so serious that the Vulcans had to get involved they wouldn’t have hired someone with literally zero experience in the league (I doubt they even know who she is.) Or they would’ve just fired Olshey. It’s just not that deep imo.
Neither one of us know what's really going on but its fun to play and the Vulcans are in the mix, imo.
Why no some those ex NBA player didn't pan out in front office and some ex coaches didn't neither pan out front office position. So maybe she eye on talent never know until she gets a chance.
I think everyone is overthinking this hire. The role probably isnt even finished being defined. Teams are being encouraged to hire some more non-white men. fact. I am sure she is very smart and knows basketball and the team wants to expand its scope to women, minorities, etc., a good thing. She will work in bball ops and probably take on assignments and projects as given by Olshey. Not a replacement for him.
We don't know that at all. We know nothing of how Blazer basketball operations actually work, save that twice a year Olshey gives us his one-sided, self-serving spin in public.
Did I miss something, or has anything come of this hire at all? Nothing from the Blazers about her hire (no press releases, etc)-- she recently followed the team account and Dame/CJ but really unclear about what her role is. Nothing on the official front office page about her either. https://www.nba.com/blazers/contact/frontoffice
Not being confrontational at all, but I must say that having seen so many other posters say this very thing about Hammon during the coaching search (and your repeated frustrated responses to them), it cracked me up to click on page 2 of this thread and the first thing I see be this post from you.
color me as conspiracy theorist, but i don't think she actually works for the blazers at the moment. "director of basketball strategy" was a vague title to begin with
Btw she was in the team photo they did after the season ended. I don’t care enough to look it up, but she was there 100%.
you're right, she was right next to CJ. never mind. Still unclear what she does, however. Seems like an awfully big title for someone who is so behind the scenes.
So she's Canzano repellent....promoted from within...she's Marsha Warfield the baliff from Night Court! (One of my favorite comedians ever)
