Casey and Brooke had mentioned on their pod that the bball staff works out of the PF, the business staff works out of Moda and there is hardly ever interaction between the two. I don't know what it means to integrate the two and why it would matter for on-court performance, but apparently that is a directive from the ownership for Cronin.
 
I like the fact they are getting feedback from around the league on how things are done and dealt with including what happens after a star leaves.

Not alot of new info really, but still a great interview. I love Billups demeanor.
Also dodnt know there was such a long history between Billups and Jenkins. Played high school ball against each other.

Cronin played against Chauncey
 
Jody & Bert are more than likely faced with some big decisions with regards to Seachickens too.
 
Much better feeling about the mojo of the franchise now. Only thing is, they gotta follow through instead of just spouting empty platitudes like Neil used to do.

between what Dame said the other day and this conference, i feel better than i have since we first hired Billups.
 
When Neil Olshey said this summer that if Dame needs to hold my feet to the fire he should.....it has been rumored after he was fired he left in a wheelchair with 3rd degree burns to his feet!
 
Did the press conference make it seem like Cronin is the person to make moves soon, or are they going to wait until they hire a permanent gm?

I wonder who Neil Olshey reached out to his first day on the job and was told, "Just be you". Because, man - in his case, that was some sorry-assed advice.

He looked in the mirror and told himself that.

He suggested he has as much power as any other GM does. Also interesting that Haskins mentioned there was no real timeline in hiring a permanent GM, and one of the reasons was Cronin. Seems he's gonna get a fair shake.

Cronin has the green light to get to the 1 yard line with a trade snd just requires ownership to sign off. But he can engage all they way through to the sign off.
 
Feels like Billups is gonna be involved with whatever moves they make. Remember, at least one team was willing to offer him their GM job. Good asset to have, and I get the sense Cronin is a lot more open to the idea of collaboration than Olshey was.
 
I like that Joe's first call was to Indiana with Chad Buchanon...they have two guys on the block that would look great in Blazer jersey's in Sabonis and Turner
 
Color me less than impressed with Cronin.

Hope I’m wrong.

They have a lot of import stuff there.

With that nickname, I guess we can expect a lot of foreign players to get signed.

Nah, more like Americanized knockoffs of great foreign players. I for one look forward to signing Dan Symmens.
 
I going give everyone a chance to there jobs to make the franchise better and the team.
