    What if Olshey paid Kidd off lolol this way he doesn’t have to tell Dame Dolla Kidd ain’t the guy. I never believed the Kidd interest came from managements side.

    As a Blazers Fan you gotta root hard for the Mavs, not only does it make Billups available immediately, maybe we could get Paul George or even Kawhi (a man can dream)

    Fuck ya Kidd dropped out. Now go get Chauncey Billups. I wonder if Kidd saw the backlash his name created reason why he really dropped out

    sure...that's one way to look at it

    the other way is that the GM who was in charge when Portland went 3-point-happy is still in charge. Maybe Olshey believes in the three-ball more than Stotts did. Not only that, his 2 favorite players, CJ and Simons, shoot three's well and if he's determined to not trade either, he's slimy enough to do everything he can to justify that inaction, even if it makes for a team that goes no further than the current one did. That at least would give him another 8M in salary before being fired. Priorities

    I am convinced that a lot of the criticisms directed at Stotts should have really been directed at Olshey

    but no, I really doubt it will be D'Antoni. Although if it is, Olshey and him can spend the season trying to one-up each other in GQ haircuts

    Multiple reporters have suggested Portland has had an eye on a certain candidate for awhile. One of them is Quick who mentioned it on radio awhile ago. Then in that article with Shams a couple days ago it was written that management is intrigued by Billups. Connecting the dots is pretty easy here. I think it’s gonna come down to either Billups or an unexpected candidate that’s still in the playoffs, like Spoelstra or Budenholzer.

    Honestly maybe Kidd got word from others or Dame himself he doesn’t plan to be here long. That thought just hit me

    Man I’m worried Kidd knows something we don’t. I think Dame is telling him don’t sweat it I won’t be here long

    My worry is that Kidd knows something about Dames potentially uncertain future in Portland

    That’s exactly what I said. He’s close with Lillard and after that report came out on Friday I’m sure Dame and Kidd talked over the weekend. Something definitely is up

    I still think Sam Cassell will be a strong candidate.
