Info on assistant general managers

Cho has selected two assistant general managers but is awaiting contractual details before announcing them early next week

jwquick

Format of two assistant general managers is same as Presti had in OKC, where Cho was an assistant

jwquick

One of the assistants is a long-time NBAer and is already in Portland getting settled

Speculate on who they could be!

Didn't we recently hear that Sheed had moved back to town? I'm thinking Asst. GM Rasheed!

Media: "How are trade discussions?"

Rasheed: "Both sides bargained hard..."

Well, it looks like at OKC, Cho was the cap guy/ negotiator, and the other guy was basically head scout/draft guru.
So... that doesn't really help me guess who they are - but they probably fit that pattern.
If one of the assistants is a long-time NBAer, does that mean the other one isn't? It would only make sense that the cap guy isn't - you can't bring a scout in from some other field.
So maybe we have an out-of-the-box choice for cap guy, and the head scout is already in PDX getting settled.

Jonathon Givony!

John Gabriel would be nice to have back.

Isn't it obvious? Kevin Pritchard and Tom Penn!

Works for me. Get 'r' done, Cho.

Hurray! The meet and greets are back on! The meet and greets are back on!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Damon and Bonzi

John Gabriel would be nice to have back.

Thats what I was thinking. I'm sure he still has some good relationships around the league. He was once a top executive when he was with the Magic.

 

[jlprk]

Gabriel would be a threat to Cho's power. (How long is Cho's contract?) Cho is the team's cap specialist, so what he needs is talent evaluators. (And someone who can TALK.)

Terry Porter!

Media: "How are trade discussions?"

Rasheed: "Both sides bargained hard..."

Media: "Free agent Deron Williams decided to pursue other options because Portland did not offer enough money"

'Sheed: "Cut the check!"

 

[Mediocre Man]

So the first one is going to be Steve Rosenberry from Atlanta. He, OF COURSE, worked for Seattle as well.


Who do we think the second one is?

 

[espn_hall_of_famer]

Hat Man (aka Steve Gordon)

Rasheed: "Both sides bargained hard..."

LMAO repped. Sheed was the master of the canned response with barely suppressed rage.

Damon and Bonzi

So you're saying Cho smokes more Indo then Cheech, Chong and Snoop rolled into one. Got it.

Maybe he'll have some new graphics on the Blazers website from this company and can save us money via barter: http://420creative.com/ (That's a real company believe it or not, with a ton of employees too!)

Warkentien!
