Head Coach thread (1 Viewer)

[wizenheimer]

I don't think people should get in a twist because there is competition for coaches or because the Blazers haven't hired a new coach yet. No team should rush this kind of a decision. Portland isn't the best situation for a new coach, but it also isn't the worst either....fuck espn

* 6 other openings. come on, marc stein

What i am about to say is NOT in any way to slight Backy H. BUT if they were to hire her i think that sends a signal they give it one more year then BLOW IT ALL up and start over. I said it before i like the idea of her IF the Blazers were to blow it all up but not as much if they are going to really try and get this team with Dame to the Finals and hopefully a ring.

Tim McMahon on the Lowe Post said Carlisle is "abrasive" when it comes to players. Did not have a good relationship with Luka, and treated some other players like crap. Seems like a pretty stark contrast from Terry.

I believe it, considering he always looks like he just swallowed a lemon.

Carlisle is not a perfect candidate.

There are no perfect candidates.

But he is the best candidate

 

[Scalma]

But he is the best candidate

Is he though? I know he won a ring, but man hasn’t gotten out of the first round in a decade and his squads only ranked in the top 10 defensively once since then. I’d rather have D’Antoni, if we’re talking about retreads, personally.

Just FYI, he's not a retread, by the definition someone made up in this thread - he has NOT "bounced around".

But, I agree, I like MDA better.

She not the only woman that consider to interview for head coaching job.

On Blazersedge, Dave had a podcaster that covers the Pacers and she had done a coaching profile previously when the Pacers where looking for a coach last year. She was very complimentary of D'Antoni and how inovative he was in Houston offensively. Obviously he would need to have a defensive minded assistant, but with the limited window the Blazers are dealing with, I'm growing on the idea of him as a coach versus bringing on someone who has never been a HC and will have a learning curve.

Then again, there are going to be a LOT of openings and places that will likely be more attractive than Portland.

MDA is not the answer

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

wut? I'm ready to LOL but you might want to clarify

I would take Ball and a New Orleans #1 pick (they own several) for CJ

we gotta move on from CJ. He plays zero defense, thinks too highly of himself, makes way too much money and he’s around 30 - we gotta get what we can! Let Ball run the point and Lillard play SG.

NOLA could add a second #1 pick in 2024 (Lakers) to sweeten the deal.

sorry guys - this is a coaching thread!

The nets offense sure looks a lot like ours. Iso iso iso iso. They just have better players.

this is what playoff bball is late in any series.

I could see coach Bud in Portland honestly.

 

[Scalma]

I could see coach Bud in Portland honestly.

he probably jumps ahead of dantoni immediately.

Still think it’s Billups. If it’s someone else, ownership overruled Neil. I just don’t think they would’ve allowed Billups to interview if they had an issue with him.

 

[Scalma]

I don’t think Bud gets fired. 7 games against a team ranked higher? Idk

Has he had the talent to get out of the first round? I've been surprised that some of the rosters he's had have made the playoffs.

Luka carries that team more than even Dame does this team. His USG and FGA are much higher than Dame.

No to Bud. No to D’Antoni. Stop with the middle aged/old white dudes who always look like they’re about to piss their pants. Fucking go for it. Overpay for an elite coach. I will never ever ever understand how an organization has nooooo problem paying role players $10M+ (Meyers) but won’t jump on the phone and offer Spo/Pop/Bill Self/Jay Wright, whoever you live, and say here’s $15m. Make them at least think about it. Instead they go with known commodity retread for $5m. Yay

Just because you offer it to them doesn't mean they take it. Lol.

 

[Haakzilla]

Luka carries that team more than even Dame does this team. His USG and FGA are much higher than Dame...and he knows how to "beat the trap" already!

FIFY

 

[calvin natt]

I didn’t say they would. I said make them think about it. If you want a coach who currently makes $5m and say hey we will give you $10m, they’ll listen.

Vogel was a retread. Kerr was an unknown. There’s no exact science to this shit.

 

[Natebishop3]

FIFY

But how do we stretch Dame to 6’8?

 

[Strenuus]

I didn’t say they would. I said make them think about it. If you want a coach who currently makes $5m and say hey we will give you $10m, they’ll listen.

Spo has his entire life set up. Unless you can set his entire life up here he aint ccoming.

Pop is gonna retire.

Jay Wright sucks.

And I forgot the other one cause he probably sucked too lol.

You’re right. MDMA is the answer

Dallas' offseason plan > ours
