So what will the excuse be when the "interims" become permanent?

    I'd like to sell you a bridge if you believe this PR fluff.

    It's only been an entire year since Rich Cho was fired.

    I don't know if I feel badly for Mike Barret or if I loathe him? ... I guess it all comes down to whether or not somebody is standing over his shoulder as he types this stuff out.

    Side point: I assume everybody asks themselves, "what are you hiding" when somebody drops, "believe me" in a conversation or a column right?

    Ha, ha. I didn't click the link but I surmised it was Barrett's writing. It's just so...Barrett.

    "That brings us to the next coach of the Trail Blazers. This line is forming as well, and you'd be pleasantly surprised to learn who has expressed major interest so far. "

    We believe in the direction we are going. Chad has done a great job given the adversity of our roster last year with Brandon retiring on the eve of training camp. Kaleb has the backing of every player on the roster, has done the one thing that is harder to do than anything else in coaching, which is getting all 12 guys to play hard for you.

    Despite PA the Blazers Organization is still a highly desirable place to be. Barret might be embellishing, but doubt he's lying about there being a number of candidates.

    Curious to know why you think he is not lying? I mean what has he ever said that would make you think he is not spinning this?

    How dare you impugn the integrity of a straight shooter like Mike Barrett. The Blazers job ... er ... jobs (now that I think about it) are the most desirable jobs in the whole NBA. I mean for crissakes, this team won a "green" award for all of their recycling they do at the Rose Quarter. If that's not the description of a model NBA franchise I don't know what is.

    Good day sir ... No, I said Good day!

    Wasn't Nate one of the highest paid coaches in the NBA?

    If so, there is a reason to line up for the job

    Sorry Mike B, but in cases like this you have zero credibility. I hope they pay you really well to have this insulting drivel posted under your name.

    No line? Double the going rate. Bingo, a long line.

    Paul can produce a line at will.

    And he can afford to pay super models to let him snort those lines off their chest.

    No excuse needed. The "interims" have done a great job.

    Dude the guy works for the Blazers. He is being paid by the Blazers. He cannot say or write anything without the permission of the team. Give him a break. I think he does a decent job for the amount of "limitations" he has on this team.
