Why? He looked like he did a great job getting them over San Antonio. He also keeps Durant and Westbrook from imploding.

Now that Nate is gone, he might be the single most over rated coach in the entire league. Everyone knows Mike Brown sucks, so he is not on the list.
 
Right after we trade for Howard and sign Deron I'll be hoping for Phil Jackson.

If by some odd ball chance that doesn't happen I'd like to see us go after Mike D'antoni.

But if we don't pick up ANY decent vets then what the heck give it to Shaw or Malone. Canales needs to be a lead assistant before he gets a head coaching gig. Making him a permenate coach too soon would set him up to fail and really slow his development.
 
Brooks never did anything to help the Thunder win in crucial moments. The Thunder suck at scoring out of timeouts, and too many times Durant wouldn't even move to get open. Brooks is half the reason Westbrook looks so clueless out there.

The #1 reason you do this is his intimate knowledge of OKC, the team that will be on top the west for years to come.

Intimate knowledge of...I hand the ball to Durant, then next time down, Westbrook gets a turn. repeat.

PA: Tell me why OKC is is so successful?

Scott: Kevin Durant

PA: What else?

Scott: Nothing



I know PA has a lot of money, but I'm not sure that's putting it to good use?
 
Anytime you can get a rival team's executive you go for it. Headhunting 101.
 
Well, at least he didn't use the Blazers to get more money from the Thunder.
 
A coach who will commit to Lillard and Leonard getting at least 24 MPG. None of this "we must play Joel 40 MPG so we can finish 10th in the west, instead of 11th!"
 
Lillard mentioned he talked to Brian Shaw prior to the draft. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
 
Olshey believes in waiting to look at coaches until you draft your 2 rookies for the coach to base his whole system around.
 
AS long as its not brooks i'm cool with whoever we go to as long as they play the rookies.
 
Three rookies tell me Kaleb

Lillard tells me Shaw

Common sense tells me Malone
 
I want an X's and O's guy. I don't care who it is.... I just want them to be strong in that area.
 
One of my main wet dreams this off season is for Portland to hire Gary Payton as an assistant coach. No one in the world could do a better job with Lillard than him. Both from Oakland, same agent, Lillard has already talked to him and looks up to him. Portland needs to get this done, IMO

Payton is a great idea, if he's interested.
