Did you guys read the article? The news here is that Olshey said he made an offer for Harden! I wonder what the offer was.

I did not read that, but it's good to know he at least made an offer. But apparently it wasn't enough. I would venture that CJ was part of it though.

Knowing Olshey he asked for a pick
 
There would be a faction of any fan base that would have @ Dame and harassed him if he had suggested Kidd as the head coach of whatever team/city it was. This is not unique to Portland. Lots of Women NBA fans out there if you haven't noticed, and they have.....opinions.

Waiting none of us have a fucking clue what was offered or asked, and none of us really know Olshey.

Ummm..... I played his conference backwards, which if you ever listened to Art Bell you would know that you can hear what someone is thinking if you play them backwards. Neil only offered GTJ and a 2nd for Harden, just so he could say he at least tried. He also said he's having a hard time finding a new barber in the pandemic and he spends most of his day posting on this forum under several different burner accounts.

This is interesting because someone else, in this thread I’m pretty sure, literally said he should know that this city wouldn’t accept it. (Paraphrasing somewhat.)

And Kidd has a job in LA…

And if you truly think this is not unique to Portland, uh, yeah nevermind.

You are right. Portland is known is for being a supremely diverse and tolerant city. Every other fan base would react exactly the same.

I am sure Kidd will never be employed again because of it… but wait… he is. Ah shucks. Ok nevermind.

Huh? You said that Damian deserved to be “heard” about wanting Kidd. Not a single person would be opposed to listening to him in this city. He’s treated like a god. But instead he picked fucking Jason kidd and that got shot down. As it should. People are supposed to be patient and wait for someone to educate Lillard on Kidd or send him mugshots or what?

Dame should know better than to put that kind of thing out in public. I'm going to assume it was a slip-up.

As for the coach he mentioned; yeah that was a terrible choice, IMO, as I've said.

:cheers:

It isn't unique to Portland.

From the LA blog:
Hiring Jason Kidd in spite of his criminal history would show how tone-deaf the Lakers really are

Despite a dark past that features legitimately criminal behavior, the Lakers are considering hiring Jason Kidd. An argument could be made that no team should.

JASON KIDD’S HIRING SHOWS NBA’S CONTINUED FAILURE ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Jason Kidd received another NBA coaching job, even with his long history of domestic violence. He is just one example of a systemic NBA failure.

I guess Dame is taking on Mediocre Man's Sgt. Schultz identity.

Wise move, I'd say.

Yes, being intolerant of domestic abuse a good thing, and a lot of people/fan bases would react the same. Not sure what your point is? We should be more tolerant of domestic abuse? That's one hell of a hill to die on.
 
If you watched the Blazers this year on Comcast, you'll see one of their big sponsors is Dave Killer Bread and his whole message is second chance's work.

Thanks. And the assumption is he wouldnt include CJ in those deals. Can't wait to find out.

He would've had to. We were hard capped and the only way to make that deal work was to include C.J.

Kidd literally had to pull out of consideration because of backlash.

If it wasn’t unique to Portland HE WOULDNT HAVE BEEN HIRED IN LA PERIOD.

No where did I say we should be tolerant of domestic abuse, did I?
Please identify EXACTLY where I said that.
If you cannot, you can not-so-kindly go fuck yourself. I said this city is ESPECIALLY NOT tolerant, as evidenced by the fact Jason Kidd has a job in another city.
My point was, as if you can read, which it appears you cannot - is that some cities are more tolerant than others - once again, evidenced by the fact that Kidd is employed. Where you said this is not unique to Portland.

Got it?

now don’t backhandedly accuse me of things again. And once again, go fuck yourself for trying to. Ban me idgaf. Dumbass

Well..... an assistant job is a taaaaaad different from a HC job.

Not really. (As evidenced by the article that person posted.)
Particularly if you’re in tune with what has happened in the NFL.
You think Blazer fans would’ve reacted differently if Jason Kidd was hired as an assistant instead of head coach?
Give me a fucking break.
Let’s see Billups get hired and bring Kidd as a assistant coach, I’m sure blazer fans would be perfectly happy since he wasn’t head coach. Good lord.

I keep thinking I must be mis-reading his posts about this topic. I don’t get it. Just even coming across as defending Kidd is cringeworthy
 
Jason Kidd has spoken very highly of Terry Stotts who was the Mavs offensive coordinator when they won a championshp with him and Dirk......Terry getting fired might be part of the reason Kidd withdrew from here...it's possible he doesn't want to coach Dame or be under the head coach microscope anymore....Kidd is probably in his dream job now in LA with Lebron and AD...he can drink like a fish down there and get lost in sin city whenever he likes.

I wouldn't say differently. The hiring process for assistants isn't public. Hell, half the time I have no idea who the assistants all are. Most fans probably don't even know who the assists are.

Many people prioritize competence over ideology. As a person matures, he stops assuming that everyone possesses his own inhibitions. Stop cringing and toughen up.

Well-spoken, Hoopguru. Lillard obviously agrees.

You’re right. I need to toughen up. It’s only spousal abuse and a DUI. Fuck it.
 
Correct. Let's see you feel the same outrage over the tens of thousands of Iraqis put into torture prisons by Americans by Bush, with balls squashed and electrocuted. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands killed in that meaningless war. If Kidd is the best basketball mind available, then hire him. If he's not, then don't.

But I don’t want Bush to coach our team. Same as Kidd.
