First the Hawks said no, now Sund says no

Sund to the Trail Blazers is not in his plans.

 

[RR7]

good

 

[Mediocre Man]

good

Agreed, but it shows how low we are when Rick fucking Sund says no to us. Can't wait to hear this spun

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Not surprised you left out these details.

Sund and Hawks' ownership are in talks about re-signing being that his current deal expires June 30 and I've been told that retirement is strong possibility.

CSNNW.com has learned the Portland Trail Blazers did request permission to speak with Atlanta Hawks general manager Rick Sund and ownership denied their request, according to a source close to the situation.

Man, how embarrassing. The Blazers asked permission to talk with Sund and Hawks ownership said no because they want to retain him. How will we ever live with this loss of face?

 

[Mediocre Man]

What details? We asked, the Hawks said no, Sund said no after that, he will either re-sign with Atlanta or retire. It's all in the link

Ya, its so unimaginable that he might be happy in Atlanta and doesnt want to change jobs/move at this stage in his life (60 years old).

You spin it like its a slap in our face. Sounds to me like he'd turn down any team and is happy in Atlanta. He wants to either stay in Atlanta or retire.

Forgetting the part about Sund saying no is brilliant.... Good job

It is a slap in our face. Rick Sund told us he was not interested. Rick Sund!!@!!!

"No" because he is happy in Atlanta. Damn, you are having a major Crapzano moment!

 

[RR7]

so Sund not being interested is a slap in the face? you seem to look for and find glee in anything you can spin negatively. I don't get it. I understood it with all of the Nate crap through the years. I don't get the haha, look, some loser turned us down to interview. We suck! Haha. I just don't understand it.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

If I was offered the same job I have now in Atlanta for a minor pay increase, I'd say "no". Not because I dont like the other company, but because my family and I are happy in PDX. If I was 60 years old it would even be easier of a choice. It's not brain surgery.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Ok, you all win. The Blazers taking a year to get started on the process of finding qualified candidates to put in front of their owner is fine.

 

[Reep]

You are reaching on this one. They guy is 60, ready to retire and likes Atlanta. Blazers are doing their diligence talking to many candidates. Nobody said Sund was on top of the pile.

that has little to do with this thread or Sund and what is being discussed.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Regardless, it doesn't matter. Sund loves Atlanta, and that is the sole reason he won't come to be GM for Paul Allen

 

[RR7]

No, it is because we will get nobody ever to come here because we are clearly the WORST organization in all of professional sports, one where nobody wants to play or work.

 

[ironcrotch]

Some of you guys need to go on vacation or some shit.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Like you leaving out the part about Atlanta saying no first (and the part about potentially retiring)....? Good job.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Ok, you all win.

Somehow I don't believe it.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

clearly if someone turns you down for something, there is no other way to look at it other than they hate you and everything about you.

"hey want to change jobs?"

"meh, kind of like it where i am, thanks for asking though"

"well fuck you then! face slapper!!!"

mm, i bet you would be a great HR guy

and when i turn down a job i usually actually go and actually slap them in their actual face, just so they get the actual message, which is that i am slapping their actual face, actually, not figuratively

[Mediocre Man]

Just trying to fit in

The NBA Draft happens in about a month from now and they are striking out left and right.

Again, why is Larry Miller employed? What a fucking failure his tenure has been.

Foolish statement really. The Blazers are more than prepared to go into the draft without a GM. It is my belief that adding one now would be detrimental to the success of the people already in place. Larry, Bert, Chad and Paul have it under control. Look how well they did last draft

If you did all your bashing of Blazers management in one thread, it would look very similar to PapaG's thread from a few days ago. You could take his thread, change the names of all the mods/posters he called out to Blazers' management, and the threads would be identical.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

With only five weeks left until the draft it's almost certain we're going to fully rely on our below average scouts on this draft. Their 10-year track record speaks for itself.

I'll have to look at that

The 10 year track record of a scout we have had for less than 8 years? Brilliant.
