    You could also have Terry work with Jerryd since both were combo-type guards. I think he'd be valuable as a mentor/coach type that doesn't have to travel with the team, and is with the guys at practices here when they're at home.

    He got a raw deal from Phoenix, was brought to bring a defensive approach, and then was succumbed to players who don't want to play D and want to whine about it instead. Tough luck Suns, good luck being losers.

    Porter's my favorite Blazer of all-time. Clutch as hell.

    Clyde Terry and Jerome, Buck not necessarily in that order, are my favorite blazers of all time.

    They all played the game the right way. And the played to the fans. They were geniuses at playing to and off the fans.

    Loved them to death.

    Funny how wealthy people only find time to "focus on the family" when they can't get a job anyway.

    Focusing on their family should be their #1 priority 24/7 every day of their lives anyway if they're any kind of husband and father.

    I'd have a lot more respect say as an example if Nate made that move right now when he'd be actually making a sacrifice. I remember Adelman doing the same thing as TP when he got canned. Dude was out of work anyway, so "focusing on the family" is simply an excuse for not being able to find a job. Not impressed in the least.

    And he never had to work...

    I love Glide, but he is one lazy mofo when it comes to front office work.

    24/7? Don't you think some of that time should be spent on making some money to actually support your family? Terry put in work, now he's gonna chill with his family, what's the big deal?

    I was truly convinced by reading the article that TP is doing his best to settle down his family properly, luckily he's got the funds to do so. .
