    Some of you guys crack me up. Maybe the Clippers made him a better offer than the Blazers. Maybe he played the Clippers using the Blazers. Maybe the Blazers had already decided that he wasn't the guy that they wanted and told him so, so he took an offer to remain with the Clips. Who the hell knows, but jumping to the conclusion that the Blazers screwed up again is just a knee jerk reaction based on nothing more than your suppositions.

    I guess we'll have to settle for Phil Jackson then.

    Then Phil will hire Brian Shaw to coach for him.

    Then Phil and Shaw will talk D-Will into signing with us.

    Then D-Will will talk D-Howard into forcing a trade to us.

    This is going to suck.

    Fucking Blazers.

    Phil as GM and Shaw as coach. For some reason I actually really like that idea.

    lol, and here comes the Blazers #1 apologist again to defend Allen & co....Sure, everything's normal...just like any other franchise out there....

    1 year + without a GM? Yeah that is typical...just standard operating procedure for a franchise that is FUBAR...Other teams are laughing thier ass off at the ineptness of POR right now

    Keep clinging to that Phil Jackson pipedream people, I'll believe it when I read\hear it

    Oh yeah and the "interim GM" is either one of the worst judges of talent or the biggest fucking pussy of a GM in the NBA...Take your pick, either way as fans were still fucked...

    Maybe next year at this time they can interview Bower for the 3rd time....lol

    I'd be careful with Phil for a few reasons. As already mentioned, he wasn't responsible for finding all the great players he had, he got the best out of them. Also if I was the coach of his team I'd be worried about him pulling a Pat Riley on me whenever the team became a contender and ousting me so that he can get another ring.

    Nice to have at least 1 guy look on the bright side were you/MM/Fez are about as cheery when it comes to the Blazers management as a homeless man looking through the window at a 5 star restaurant. You guys have about as much knowledge of whats happening in the organization as e_blazer does and yet you like to take every opportunity to point out that you think management stinks and make fun of posters who think maybe management isn't as stupid as you think they are. All this assumptions that is happening is all opinions since none of us can actually be in the war room or have in depth conversations with those in management.

    Phil Jackson seems like an intelligent guy, but we don't really know if he has a nose for talent or not. He happened to have 2 superstars on his roster most of his career, and he bailed on his teams once he saw them leaving.

    I am Not happy with blazers management and lack thereof just like most of you. But it is possible olshey was told he is not Paul's guy so he signed with sterling. It is Allen's fault we are managerless but that doesn't necessarily mean olshey signing is another failure.

    There was major luck involved in assembling that Clippers team. A team that still has major flaws. I didn't think Olshey was ever a better candidate than the next guy.

    For those who are on twitter: Has Quick/Canzano/Haynes mentioned anything of substance about this?

    Just because there is nothing in the media doesn't mean that PA hasn't been interviewing his ass of at Cannes!
