......a certain thread was deleted Ok I did want to respond though. Here’s my truncated response that does not include bashing Blazers brass- I think Mr Allen should do with the Blazers what he did with the Seahawks. Put a big name guy in position to run it all and Paul gets the fuck out of the way This is where I need help. If Mr Allen backed up a brinks truck to Gregg Popovich’s front door, what kind of contractual things could keep him from becoming our head coach ***and president of basketball operations***? He gets to name his GM. The Seahawks model. Is this kind of thing possible in the NBA?
The Blazers were blocking people on twitter who were complaining about a tshirt being $39. Someone posted a thread here about it. It was deleted.
I started the thread and I deleted it after thinking that probably isn't the best way to get swag to hand out in the forum. No conspiracy, I just didn't want to make things harder for myself or the forum. And that was completely my decision, the Blazers have been extremely hands off about how this forum is run.
I don’t know why it was deleted but it was deleted. Kind of a weird night for Blazers twitter. Perhaps it needed to stay there and not come here. But my response was all I personally cared about. Can we just pay Popovich a trillion dollars to be our coach and president? Other than him saying no, what could stop that from happening?
Frankly, you shouldn't even have to be afraid of that. It's a very serious discussion, and if they want this place to be the main hub of blazers conversation, then it should be discussed here.
I will say this about Pop: We will never know if it was him or the roster. He will most likely retire with the Spurs and I doubt he will win another title before that happens. Phil Jackson won 6 titles with MJ/Pip and 5 titles with the Lakers. Honestly his most impressive wins were with Kobe/Pau.
