With the current roster the Blazers coach is irrelevant.

There are rumors Jalen Brown likes the idea of playing for Chauncey. Supposedly Grant likes it. If Chauncey is a draw for players to force their way to the Blazers we should at least give them a year to try playing with him.

so does Embiid, & Giannis. The Billups dream team of 2024 is going to be sensational. I'm glad I watch the podcasts, they're so insightful.

Embiid/Giannis/Brown/Sharpe/Dame with Wemby off the bench. Salary cap and Trade Checker be DAMNED!!

No reason to keep Billups right now. None.

I've said from the beginning you got to give him 3 years. The fact that they tanked the first 2 has made me question that? I'm still backing him this year but he needs to be able to help draw some players here who want to be here as well as coach. I thought that might happen? Was hoping players would want to be here to play under him with Dame? I guess we will see what this summer brings. I'm thinking the draft pick will have some effect as well.

Funny. I just wrote pretty much this same idea.

He hasn't been mentioned a single time as being "in consideration" for an interview for any of the available jobs thus far.

I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

There are three without even talking about teams that he has ruled out completely.

I was talking about the current job cycle. Tons of names have been thrown out for the different jobs. Tons of interviews have been requested and granted. He hasn't been mentioned for a single one.

"He hasn't been mentioned a single time as being "in consideration" for an interview for any of the available jobs thus far."

I am completely aware that he interviewed for those jobs previously, and teams often decided to go with unproven, inexperienced coaches instead of him.

I see?
Actually what you said was this.
Predator said:
His name is never brought up for any other jobs, so I’d be shocked.

So you can understand how that would be interpreted as "Wrong"

Now that you have moved the goalpost I can agree with you. He has not been interviewed "YET" for any of the current open jobs. The statement was about the Phoenix job that has not even started interviews.

The post with this specific response specifically responded to the post that said "in consideration" for an interview for any of the available jobs thus far."

And my original post, "his name is never brought up for any other jobs", which is somewhat open-ended, I agree, but I thought it was pretty clear it was in response to the current openings... as the post I responded to was about the current Phoenix opening; thus, I responded (in response to the current PHX opening), "He isn't mentioned for any other jobs", which implies current jobs.

Thus my position: He isn't mentioned for any other jobs, so I don't know why Phoenix would suddenly be interested in him, so it would shock me if he was hired there.

So no, I haven't moved the goalpost at all.

And I see you noticed my response was in response to the CURRENT phoenix opening, so to be grammatically correct it would be, "his name is never and has never been brought up for any other jobs" for your response to not be "wrong"; "his name IS" would be present tense, meaning "in the now".

Stop what?

Just responding to people who respond to me.

You can feel free to:

  1. Not read my posts
  2. Use the ignore function
  3. Not respond to my posts

All would be suitable responses if my presence bothers you.

Hasta la vista, baby.

I believe he's addressing your comment about Stotts not being considered for a coaching position.

I wasn’t the one who brought Stotts up; someone else did.

Woj has said they’re looking at Lue, Nurse, Budenholzer first and foremost.

I wasn't disputing who brought up who, just that's what he was talking about, nothing about you or anything you've posted in (as an original thought/etc).

Management’s first act whenever a contender falls flat is to axe the coach. The GM who put together the “close but no cigar” roster too often skates on. Remind me again; how many titles have Daryl Morey teams won?

Yeah he the guy from OKC are viewed as a cut above gm's, and they haven't won shit!

I’d be willing to bet that within five years, chatGPT and a good motivational speaker will be able to out-coach any of today’s head coaches.
 


Hilarious I bet all the blazer fans who were begging for this lady won’t mention this now lmao

This isn't an indication of how poor coaches are, its more scary how capable AI is getting and how very fast its happening. These AI can write legal briefs and other skilled work today, they could put huge skilled sectors of the workforce out of work overnight if there is no restraint on their development or restrictions on their use.

Terminator and the Matrix movies seem much more realistic today than the unlikely fantasies they were when created.
