    Very embarrassing. Hired less than 2 weeks before the draft, then was unable to do anything during the lockout. If you look at his moves, they weren't bad. Like here in Portland though, I think he was too gun shy to make more moves

    Until you said Cho, I thought you meant Pritchard. Weren't we .250 his first year? So there's a second example backing you up.

    A team can easily function without a GM if the owner sinks enough money into a bureaucracy which can do GM things. Most owners won't spend like that, but we can function without a GM. Anyone who gets embarrassed over this is a sensitive fellow indeed.

    Yes, it is so embarrassing.

    Everywhere I go no one can talk of anything but the Blazers' lack of permanent GM.

    All they talk about at work. On TV news. On ESPN. Every time I talk to a friend they bring up Blazers GM. It's all over everyone's Facebook page. Front page of New York Times.

    By far the most serious problem on the face of the earth.

    No hyperbole here.

    As a Blazer fan it is an embarrassment

    As a human I couldn't care less

    That's actually quite impressive...

    And blatant.

    365 days and their face of the franchise and best player of the team retires during that time peroid. Being the only NBA team going this long without a GM must mean the Blazers are the worst team in the league . . . after all every other team has for a GM for a year longer than the Blazers.

    I don't get this. Are you somehow trying to imply that this long, drawn out, GM search is the sign of a well run organization? It's not quite as dire as some have painted things, but it aint good ...
