    Man you are so funny. First you hear rumor that Blazers will make CB a permanent GM and you start trashing Paul Allen as though the rumor was news:

    What this is telling me is that PA is such a jerk off/ego maniac to work for that no self respecting coach or GM candidate wants the headache of dealing with him or his kiss ass lacky Larry Miller on a day to day basis

    This team is not a place that attracts top level talent, coaches and now GM's! Why? PA is an unstable force and the league knows it. This is a billionaire owner that didn't even give season ticket holders playoff Tshirts when he's had sell out crowds for 20+ years.... He's got the draft right around the corner with no GM or coach in place and all of this is supposed to instill confidence in being a blazer? HAHA!


    And now that we have real news, you decide to take another rumor and comment on that. Only you went from the Blazers can't attract a self respecting coach to a what a mistake it is for the Blazers to hire Sloan . . . all in one day. Impressive

    David Aldridge has a good read on the signing:

    Guesses on the contract? I'm guessing at least double what Clips offered him

    I'm wondering what kind of autonomy Olshey's going to have. I hope he has free reign.

    I'm hoping somewhere between KP and Trader Bob. The guy has to have the ability to mold the team, otherwise he's just another Chad Buchanan.

    You would think after the death threats that she would stay off of twitter.

    Why live in paranoia just because some idiot does something stupid?

    If my house was ransacked when I wasn't home, doesn't mean I'll never leave my house again.

    Why put yourself out there unnecessarily? She is making herself a public figure when she doesn't need to be. There are a lot of crazy mother fuckers on the internet :devilwink:

    Now that I think about it, you're right.

    Did he dump Warren LaGarie as his agent?

    Also, will David Stern cancel trades to the Lakers to help out Portland now?

    Re: David Aldridge: Olshey to Portland as next GM

    He acquired CP3 after Stern canceled a trade to the Lakers for Paul.

    Didn't Stern only cancel that trade because the owners flipped the fuck out?

    Stern canceled the trade, regardless. The Clippers backed into CP3, and he hasn't signed an extension with them.

    Clock starts now, Olshey. Picking Griffin #1 and backing into LaGarie are his major accomplishments.

    Interesting..

    from Chris Haynes.

    One thing to keep in mind: Olshey and Trail Blazers interim head coach, Kaleb Canales, share the same agent – Warren LeGarie – and that should definitely help Canales' cause.
