Meh. The GM equivalent of:
"With no hope of successfully prying San Antonio's Tony Parker or New Orleans' Chris Paul away from their respective clubs, Portland has Steve Blake high on its list of potential long-term point guards."

No shit.
While it might not have worked, Ferry traded or signed Mo Williams, Shaq, Jamison and drafted Hickson, Gibso a d Brown late in round 1. He also seems to work well with a below average coach

You clearly don't know anything about Ferry.

I'm not wild about Ferry, but the real question isn't whom the Blazers are looking at, it's who is looking at them?

I don't know. 1253 Blazer fans? Anyhow, trading for Jamison put Ferry in the same position as Pritchard right now ... unemployed.

I'd rather Pritchard had been able to close the deal on Camby. Shame that didn't happen...goes to show the guy couldn't make midseason deals to improve the team. Too in love with his guys like Blake and Outlaw.

I was going to say 3. You are probably closer, but not by much.

Trading for Jamison did not put Ferry in the same position as Pritchard. It had nothing to do with it. KP was fired, Ferry resigned. You're wrong, but I'm not going to expect that you start understanding basic logic now.

So, they're both not unemployed? I guess I do need some help in logic. If Pritchard had resigned instead of waiting to be fired, would that mean that he's a different type of unemployed? Help me out here, Socrates.

*edited*... you insinuated they were in the same position in a negative way, but you're wrong, one was by choice, one was by force

Uh oh. Now you called him *edited* and he is going to whine to the mods about enforcing the rules, the same mods he complains about non-stop.

Ferry resigned because he disagreed with his owner's decision about the coach. How does THAT make him a "yes man"?

Seriously, aren't they both unemployed? You seem to have some sort of advanced logic that escapes my simple mind. No need to call me a troll, since you said I couldn't understand your logic. That's a trollish act by you, isn't it? Plus, I don't recall replying to you in this thread until you trolled me.

Why do you think the Cavs would have let him go? Because he couldn't keep LeBron? Or surround him with an all-star?

Tell me again how Pritchard messed up by not making the OKC trade with Miami!
Ferry was forced out. He chose to resign, Pritchard chose to be fired. They are both jobless. That is what matters.
