clearly if someone turns you down for something, there is no other way to look at it other than they hate you and everything about you. "hey want to change jobs?" "meh, kind of like it where i am, thanks for asking though" "well fuck you then! face slapper!!!" mm, i bet you would be a great HR guy and when i turn down a job i usually actually go and actually slap them in their actual face, just so they get the actual message, which is that i am slapping their actual face, actually, not figuratively
The NBA Draft happens in about a month from now and they are striking out left and right. Again, why is Larry Miller employed? What a fucking failure his tenure has been.
Foolish statement really. The Blazers are more than prepared to go into the draft without a GM. It is my belief that adding one now would be detrimental to the success of the people already in place. Larry, Bert, Chad and Paul have it under control. Look how well they did last draft
If you did all your bashing of Blazers management in one thread, it would look very similar to PapaG's thread from a few days ago. You could take his thread, change the names of all the mods/posters he called out to Blazers' management, and the threads would be identical.
With only five weeks left until the draft it's almost certain we're going to fully rely on our below average scouts on this draft. Their 10-year track record speaks for itself.
His first official draft was 07', but he had only been here less than a couple of weeks at that point. In reality 08' was his first draft Bayless Claver Babbitt Williams Smith Not awesome, but not a lot to go on drafting where we did
thought buchanon was hired in 2004? Sorry, I didn't mean as head scout, just going off of his initial hire date.
I'm generalizing the scouting staff. Whomever they brought in since 2002 have failed in every draft outside the 2006 draft and 2008.
With the economy starting to open up, I now get occasional calls from prospective employers. I have not posted a resume except internally for nearly 6 years, so they are really digging to find mine. And I always return calls (never know when you might need good relations with someone) and politely tell them I'm not interested. Absolutely nothing to do with the companies. Some have tried to sell me on relocating, generally to LA/SD area and that's an even bigger no. Stop trying to find insults everywhere.
Wow. The sunshine-pumper-brigade is out in force today. Get with the program MM. NBA teams don't need GMs, or coaches, or even decent players. As long as we have Bert and the logo - all is well!
2003 they had the 23rd pick and found a pretty good 6th man with that pick. Finding a solid role player with the 23rd pick should be considered a good draft, so you'r wrong on that one, IMO. I am not a huge fan of Outlaw, and he has his flaws, but it's the 23rd pick, you can't judge a draft expecting all stars all over the place, and if not, it is a failure. I think 2003 is just fine, 2006, 2007, 2008. 04 and 05 sucked. Don't like the claver pick personally, but they went high upside on the thought we didn't need to add more rookies to the team. A flaw in scouting, or GM practice? That's more on the GM and roster building overall, IMO. I'm not going to bother with 2010 and 11 this early on.
