Portland plans to be aggressive in surrounding Billups, who served one season as a Clippers assistant, with an experienced coaching staff.

What does this mean? They’re gonna poach guys?
My take was $$$$$


I’m all for poaching, especially if one of them is Darvin Ham
 
Billups, 44, will be introduced at a Tuesday news conference in Portland.

“Because he's the coach Portland deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him on twitter. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian of defense, a watchful protector of the rim. A good coach.”

- Neil Olshey
 
hes gonna trade dame first, then step down

that will be his "fuck you" to portland and its fans

Actually, he gets elevated over Olshey, trades Dame, fires Olshey, and THEN steps down.
 
5 years LMAO. Neil just said fuck you to all the idiot fans.

He had no reason to otherwise. Regardless of who Neil hires, he's fired next year if the Blazers don't make a huge run, so he's incentivized to pick the coach he thinks will actually contribute most to winning. Good for him.

I'm sure he's betting that winning cures all. I would tend to agree with that, but we'll see with this city....

The unfortunate part of this post is that Dame was cast in the role of Two-Face ....

5 years makes me think that they wanted to assure Dame some sort of stability with his preferred coach (him or Kidd).

are you talking about billups or olshey

cause it looks like were talking about two different persons
 
5 years, plenty of time to steal Neil’s job.

Good for Olshey. Stand up for what you believe in and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. He obviously thinks very highly of Billups. Let’s hope he’s as good as Neil thinks he is.
 
The press conference on Tuesday is going to be comedic. People thought Olshey was combative before… this is going to be legendary

I don’t think he will. He isn’t stupid, no reason to provoke it further. Make the statement, be clear they found nothing in their investigations, answer the dumb questions if they come, and move on.
