Embarrassing (363 days....)

Since Rich Cho was fired and they are still "evaluating" candidates and finding the next coach will wait until they bring in a GM.

363 days.

 

In other news, Orlando is meeting tomorrow to discuss which GM candidates to target.

 

hahaha man that sure makes us look bad. =[

 

522720 minutes
how do you measure almost a year
in wins? in trades? did the last gm have aids?
did they players quit? did they play like shit?
can i blame kpee? was it odens knee?

A friend of mine texted me and wondered if Orlando also looking for a GM would cause the Blazers to work a little faster.

1. Good candidates gone

2. Makes us look worse than we already do

 

My daughter was in this play at a local theatre.

But I think it's 525600....527040 in a leap year

 

its only been 363 days remember?

 

Personally, I think this hand-wringing over the GM spot is absolutely silly. Cho not working out and being let go so quickly after being hired was a black eye to the organization and they want to get it right this time. They want an experienced person for the GM spot and most of the guys that they want to interview are under contract to their current teams. Only as their teams' seasons end have the Blazers been given the approval to talk to their candidates. There are still a couple of guys that they want to talk to who haven't been cleared for interviews yet. So, they're supposed to hire the wrong person just because a bunch of nervous Nellies are getting antsy? The plan is to have somebody on board before the draft and there's still plenty of time for that to happen.

 

Damn it, you put that song in my head.

 

Are we both wrong?


Hasn't it been 364 days because of leap year?

 

i didnt add days or know dates, just going off the op, feel free to add em up though, so i can edit my masterpiece

 

It really doesn't take this long ... I mean have you ever heard of another franchise taking this much time to make a hire? How do they get it done?

 

i think the raiders didnt have a gm for like 52 years amirite?

 

Sounds like a ringing endorsement to me

 

al davis was genius before he was a moron

 

Al was a brilliant football guy, then turned idiot. PA has never been a brilliant basketball guy

 

never said he was, thats what berts for :MARIS61:

 

I know Davis was a bleeding edge innovator back in the sixties with his vertical passing game and aggressive attacking defenses ... it's just that the 75+ years old version is pretty much how I see Allen's handling of the Blazers over the past decade+ ... except he can't use the senility defense.

 

The only question in my mind is why they didn't make a hire last summer, but I put that off to there being a high likelihood that this season was going to be lost to the lockout. I think Paul Allen was comfortable with letting Buchanan run the show and chose to let it slide vs. getting stuck paying a big salary when the season might be lost. We can nitpick whether that was a smart decision or not, but once it was made, I think that rushing to hire somebody after the start of the season would have been a recipe for another disaster. Anybody worth their salt already had a job. It was smart waiting until the better candidate pool opened up.

 

Ditto. But then I remembered Team America's parody and that helped...

EVERYONE HAS....
