Patrick “We make a lot of money, but we spend a lot of money too.” Ewing?

Pass.

If he's qualified in Olshey's eyes and meets the criteria he wants in a coach, then what is there to lose?

Now of course I have no idea if he fits what Olshey is looking for, but I like the idea of a big man as a coach as long as he's qualified -- he'd probably help LaMarcus and Leonard out some at least.

of course if they had, Legarie, as agent to Olshey as well, would be a lot easier to ask to keep quiet than a different agent.

Chicago Bulls assistant Adrian Griffin says he interviewed for the #Blazers head coach position yesterday.

Chris Haynes ‏@ChrisBHaynes
Griffin: "#Blazers have a team that can thrive in transition. I would get LaMarcus some early post touches & I like that 3-ball too."
 
Chris Haynes ‏@ChrisBHaynes
Griffin: "I felt like I answered all of Neil's questions thoroughly and I feel good about what we talked about."
 
Adrian Griffin...... I don't believe he has a shot. Not for a second.
 
Chris Haynes ‏@ChrisBHaynes
Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau on Adrian Griffin: "He's an excellent teacher, communicator & someone who has paid his dues. He's ready" #Blazers
 
Griffin's paid his dues? He's been out of the league for 3 years...

Not.

Impressed.

You can see that this guy is an assistant but not a head-coach. If he had any cred he would have said that after consideration he decided to decline the opportunity.

We want people that decline the opportunity, not ones that were not approached!

Isn't a center supposed to be the air traffic controller on the court? I'd think he's the second most qualified behind the PG.

There are only a couple of guys I would take seriously. D'antoni is one of them. Budenholzer is intringuing and of course Sloan. But I think D'antoni would be good for Lillard, Aldridge and Batum.

Good in terms of not having them play defense? Of good because Lillard is the next Nash, and a wide open system with PnRs in the half-court set would outweigh the lack of defense.

D'antoni never even made an NBA Finals, and he had a two-time MVP and another All-NBA player on his roster.
 
Ewing would be taking the guys out to Exotica after every home win. Team unity.
 
Hopefully, the next coach will only be here 2-3 seasons. Teach the youngsters and get the team from "awful" to "mediocre"...then cut them loose.

Let's not repeat the "Nate mistake."

Hopefully after tonight Olshey is close to being done ... I know he's already got a relationship with Lillard too.
 
Someone sell me on Shaw since everyone seems to think he's the guy, and it's not looking likely D'Antoni is the guy (booo)

Everything I know about the guy is anecdotal or hearsay ... but it's all been positive. That's all I can go off of.

Not so fast

Olshey said potential coaching candidates are unavailable to interview b/c they are overseas or participating in Basketball Without Borders.
