    It’s the same situation. Aldridge didn’t go sour on the organization in his final year. You know that

    Tom Thibodeau, Michael Malone and Steve Clifford who are good defensive coaches were understudies of Van Gundy.

    He has a pretty impressive coaching tree.

    We should get Rolland Todd. He's tanned, rested, and ready.

    I love Dame as much as the next Blazermaniac. But just like a coach and should keep criticism of players in the locker room, players should keep views on personnel internal. Especially the team leader. There are serious penalties for meddling and both Kidd and the Blazers were put in awkward situation.

    probably true although I'd question just what was said to Haynes and the tone that was used. I'm not trusting Haynes much right now

    but Dame is damed if he does and damned if he doesn't. People have been calling for him to be more outspoked about the direction of the team. So, the first time he's outspoken, he's getting trashed for being so

    That would awesome if we could land Popovich. He’s my ideal candidate.

    I think he slept with a teammates wife or girlfriend as well during his first stint in Dallas.

    If it’s one of

    JVG
    Hammon
    Vanterpool
    Spoelstra (somehow)
    Johnnie Bryant
    Ime Udoka
    Charles Lee
    Billups (assuming I don’t find out more about his assault case)

    I’ll be happy

    Peter Vecsey might be less in the know than any insider in history. That being said, it makes sense

    I remember back when NBA on NBC was around he used to be the insider during halftime shows talking about trades and such. I remember he insisted we were going to acquire Derrick Coleman several different times. I also recall none of the shit that was supposed to happen according to him ever happening.

    How many years did LMA have left when we hired Stotts to appease him and constantly have to hear about showing him we were serious blah blah blah

    No, no it's not. You may want it to be for some odd reason but Lillard will never abandon his teammates and fly home on a private jet after losing in the playoffs. Lillard will never pout. Lillard lives in the community year around. Lillard works in the community year around. Lillard's family lives here. Lillard's kids were born here.
