    well, once Dame was switched to guarding Porter last night, (end of 2nd Q and 2nd half), Porter didn't score a point

    Dame actually seems to do a lot better guarding size than speed

    Jason Kidd is not who i want. Wtf Dame said via chris Hanes he wants Kidd. No no no no. What is good about him? Too quite too weak personality for me

    One thing that seem to be for sure is that both dame and the blazers like Chauncey Billups. He my favorite option. I am excited. But if it kidd, see y’all later

    Love Dame to death, but this is again problematic. He is the reason Stotts was here for so long in the first place and if Kidd is who he wants now, there at least has to be questions about his judgement.

    I get he probably grew up liking a fellow Oakland brother, but that is no where near good enough.

    They could buy a cook book. How do you think I learned? Get a good basic book and start baking. Like playing basketball, it takes practice.

    My choices are Hammon and Billups.

    I'm hoping you saw that I was being snide.

    The more I read about Billups, the less interested I become. Call me old fashioned, but I'd prefer my coaches not have any sexual assaults in their past.

    Hammond to become new Blazers coach, but forced to make Kidd her lead assistant.

    Add windhorst to the list of people that have mentioned Billups as a name to watch. He did it yesterday before Stotts was even fired.

    Agreed, and I don't like how Lillard has done this publicly. I think this indicates his hostility towards and distrust of Olshey, which is understandable; but he should have gone to upper management and asked for Olshey to be replaced and if not possible, worked behind the scenes with them to select a new coach.

    Kidd would be a fantastic hire.
    His teams play defense, too.

    .


    Nurk also follows Billups on twitter. Their paths probably crossed while Nurk was in Denver since that’s where Billups is from.

    if the team has already shortened their list down to two, before even interviewing anyone, then I think it’s safe to conclude they already know who they want to hire, and have known for awhile (as reported)

    I doubt Kidd is even in consideration, everything regarding him is coming from Lillard and his camp (Haynes)
