Why the hell do you have to ruin my bliss with an article that says MDA is still a candidate?

mentioned as an after thought. i think he'd have been announced today if it was him.

 

[Scalma]

could be a smokescreen for Olshey. Perhaps to appease Dame?

The real smokescreen here is Hammon, or any name that’s not Billups imo.

Željko Obradović Is who we should hire

Honestly, most of the positive I've seen of her coaching ability is on the player development front. Sure makes a lot more sense for a rebuilding team versus one with championship aspirations.

What about his rape case though?

What about his rape case though?

He wasn’t even charged let alone convicted. All we know is the woman took a paycheck and never wanted justice

You can't say she never wanted justice, but he was never charged or convicted so it's hard to punish someone for something they never received a trial for.

Look at the older players Morey had on the Rockets and how many were shooters.
I dont agree that he would shy away form CJ because he's 30.
The number to the right of each player is how long in the league up to that point.
They won 55 games 2016/17

what rape case? There were no charges. I’ll say it again, it’s gonna take more for me to care than an isolated incident 20+ years ago that may or may not have been criminal.

 

[James lamphear]

Why does everyone assume Jody Allen doesn't know about basketball?

She rich and that's mean she knows what good business or she wouldn't be rich. So hiring a new coach that's a woman guess what that's gives everyone interested how she will do and maybe that would put the Blazers on national stage with be big market.

 

[James lamphear]

People that's Seattles is usually is guilty guy if they was innocent why not go to court and get your name clear. But of course the woman took the money so she wouldn't be drag through court system.

...if Billups had anything to do with the Clippers adjustments/strategy vs the Jazz in the closing games, then he is 1000% the best candidate for leading the current Blazers roster to playoff success. /

...or possibly she inherited the entire empire from her brother Paul? Just throwing that out there.

Another woman who didn't file charges.

It doesn't go away.

Not saying Billups should be forever unemployed. But fuck this it was a long time ago get over it shit.

Or maybe they talked basketball a lot? Maybe over the past two years she has worked to learn as much as she can?

She may have, but that is not what the response was to.

That's help just saying she not dumb. You hire Becky and make history or hire Billups and loose ticket holder due to his past history.

...... did you just start following this team?????

 

[ehizzy3]

Hard to see a season ticket holder leaving because of Billups being hired. And if so, they will be replaced easily

 

[JoshuaHall]

That's help just saying she not dumb. You hire Becky and make history or hire Billups and loose ticket holder due to his past history.

If Dame is still on the team, those season tickets will get snatched up even faster than they were cancelled.

Which, by the way, is why Dame won’t be traded even if he demanded one.

 

[julius]

Billups feels the most like a Steve Kerr kind of hire.

A guy who won championships and can command the respect of the players.

At the risk of sounding like speed, Chauncy won only the one title.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Because if I magically owned a NHL team tomorrow, I wouldn't know shit about hockey (other than what I saw in the Might Ducks movies.)

Get a coach that presses up in the corners

 

[brooklynballer]

I just keep going back to the Spurs... if Becky was the true heir apparent, there's no freaking way they let her go. Pop would step aside. The team is nowhere near competing for a title right now. It's concerning that she's out interviewing and they don't seem to care.

Not just don’t seem to care, they seem to be actively promoting or encouraging her to apply elsewhere. To me that’s a red flag and makes me nervous about hiring her. Personally, I’m fully in the Hire Billups camp after watching him on the sidelines of the last 10 LAC playoff games. He’s VERY active on the sidelines communicating with all of the players (much more so than Lue), especially the stars.

How dare a head coach give praise to his assistants to other teams

 

[julius]

Do we know for sure that Becky was the "heir apparent" to Pop? Or is that just people creating a talking point
