Bill Bayno leaving to go to the Timberwolves

[Rastapopoulos]

That's not good, I'm thinking. He was popular with the players and really went out of his way to work with them. What do you say, HCP?

Agreed . . . ouch

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Time to promote Kaleb Canales?

I'm starting to feel a bit resentful towards Minnesota. It is strange and unpleasant.

Somehow, the name Trenton Hassell comes to mind.

FWIW

I am happy with this move. One more person from the old regime of injury plagued seasons out of the way. IMO, Portland needs a clean slate of coaches, medical staff, and management.

Good for Bill Bayno, tough break for the Blazers. Hard to fault anybody if they have a chance to get out of "Dysfunction Junction" and go work for a class guy like Rick Adelman.

Bayno wants to coach under Rick Adelman. The media hates Kahn, but he sure produces when it comes to constant change.

Articles say, how can Adelman turn down Minnesota, when they're offering him $5M per year? Well, that's what Allen paid McMillan beginning 6 years ago. So McMillan must be making more than that now.

We could have had Adelman for less than McMillan. The media pictures Kahn as a loser, but you notice he keeps making personnel changes at will.

Damn, that sucks.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Damn. I was hoping a different coach would move on

Good post.

 

[THE HCP]

Damn. If this is true, this is a big loss! Billy is very respected by players and other coaches around the league! I wish him luck!

Yeah, the Minnesota Timberwolves...the cornerstone of stability in the NBA!

Note I said Rick Adelman. If he was just leaving to go be Bernie Bickerstaff Jr.'s back-bench guy, my opinion would be 540 degrees different (my head would spin around at least once before I regained my senses).

Ooh, so if the coach is steady, it's ok.

I'd say, as much as I dislike Nate's coaching, he's just as stable as Rick is.

The instability is based in the management of both teams.

bayno is addicted to vicodin...i can just tell lol

For an assistant? Sure, mostly. And in the case of Adelman it sounds like he's been given a great deal of power outside of Kahn's influence. Why Bayno left the Blazers I really have no idea.

Interesting article on Bayno from the Columbian.

Best of luck to Mr Bayno!

 

[KingSpeed]

It was about money and respect. Bayno loves the Blazers and did not want to leave at all but Portland management simply didn't make a fair offer. Sucks.

Surprised? We have the most incompetent management in the League.

 

[THE HCP]

Swapped some texts with him today and said he is gonna' miss the city, coaches and players!

KS, where did you hear this bit of info?

From Coach Bayno himself. We are friends.

if we don't have a GM, who declined to match the Minny offer?

My feathered friend on the Vulcans tells me that they read this board. It's the consensus here that either Nate goes or he gets assistants who can change his style, so the Vulcans aim to please. Notice the purge in assistants they've snuck under the radar over the past year?

I just want to say on behalf of the board, thank you, Vulcans. Now replace Bayno with someone like Bickerstaff who will have an influence on loosening up McMillan's system.
