Rich Cho new GM

[OddEnormous]

You're such a crouton.

Comment all you want on the hire. I'll comment all I want on your idiocy. Free speech applies to all.

El Presidente at least made a valid point. Cho's "green". Inexperienced. We have no idea if he's capable of making deals. Legitimate criticism.

You on the other hand are criticizing the hire based on your baseless assumptions of how he'll do the job. IMO, it's ridiculous.

Brilliant. I'm an idiot because I don't want an inexperienced guy running a team trying to win the title.

The guy has never brought in a big time free agent or made any kind of big time deal. The TWO things we are looking for. The president of your team even said that at the beginning of the search.

Yep. I'm the idiot.

Looking forward to all our future cap space and drafts. It's SO fucking exciting.

If he doesn't make a big trade he's a failure

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We hired Caine from Kung Fu to be our GM?!?

 

[OddEnormous]

Never too soon to go negative.

Brilliant!

We fired Kevin Pritchard to land the new Tom Penn.

The CHOsen One has arrived!

It's not yo mama, it's 'Cho mama'.

You keep ignoring that second part where Miller also said they wouldn't be adverse to hiring an up and comer either.

 

[OddEnormous]

What has Cho done for you to come to this conclusion / mindset about him?

Nothing. Get it?

Look. Who cares what I think when we have great reasoning like "You never know!"

 

[blazerboy30]

So, "nothing" == "Starting a rebuild, and shipping out Roy and Aldridge for cap space"?

Hmmm.

You sure do like making a mountain out of a mole hill, don't you?

It only took you 2 posts to bore me to tears.

I think that's a record. Ed O. has nothing on you.

Hiring a GM = Mole hill.

Don't know anything about the man to be happy or sad!

Is Larry Miller celebrating by taking a vacation?

You're so cute when you get all flustered and pouty.

I LOVE his haircut! Looks like he goes to my barber!

 

[BlazerBeav]

I'll just assume this is a fantastic hire and we're once again moving in the right direction!

11 years in the NBA is inexperienced? Sorry we didn't get a retread GM that's been kicked to the curb by their current employer.

EPIC!!!!!!!!

Somebody please photoshop me a picture of Cho's face on Jesus' body! I need a new avatar of our savior....

It's a molehill when compared to the gigantic fucking flip-out mountain you've created.

Right because that's the only other option.

Are you celebrating by misrepresenting Larry Miller? Why yes, yes I think you are.

I'm commenting about a GM hire on an NBA message board that has about 100 people on it. Didn't realize what a big deal that was.

Can any board geeks dig out the comments when the Blazers hired KP? I wonder if the same people said he'd never been a GM, etc....

Learn to compartmentalize, genius. I'll try to simplify it for you.

He's inexperienced. Yes. I get it. It's true. You're right. Nobody's disputing that fact. You don't like his inexperience. Understandable. Makes perfect sense. I even agree with you here.

But nobody--not Paul Allen, not Larry Miller, not Rich Cho, not Nate McMillan, not Tod Leiweke, not Steve Gordon, NOBODY has ever said anything about rebuilding. To assume that Rich Cho is going to take us back to draft picks and cap space is nothing short of idiocy.

As a matter of fact, yes it was. Have you been paying attention to the *available* candidates?

 

[noknobs]

Right because that's the only other option.

In your world of over-generalizing everyone, yes, I believe that's the only other option. If not, name me someone who doesn't fall into either the 'inexperienced' or 'retread' category?

KP already put work in in the 2006 draft before he was fired. It was an easy choice. Too bad the Blazers had to ruin it.

I'm not the one who fired Kevin Pritchard to hire the new Tom Penn.
