If the idea is just to be a Yes Man, I'll take the job for free!

I didn't think much of Cho, but I do give him credit for not being the Yes Man that I thought he'd be.

 

[The Professional Fan]

No thanks.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I think I should throw my hat into the ring -- what with all the nodding my head and agreeing with everybody that I do around here -- I'd be perfect, no?

sideline reporter to GM, pretty good career change.

You should not vote no. You should vote Rebbeca Harlow.

I suggested TP last year and got shot down by you guys. (For good reason) But I still wouln't mind the idea. When the Blazers make a trade or draft a player they seem to do it by committee. Even though Terry lacks public speaking skills, I do think he is a true leader. He has been a head coach and/or floor leader for 20 years.

KP and his team were quick thinkers in terms of making multiple trades on draft day. Something TP probably would not flourish in. But he does have a sound basketball mind.He loves the city and franchise (having tried to buy the team so they didn't move) The fans love him. The sponsors would like him. There are advantages to this.

I am not completely sold, but I do think he brings a lot to the table. Petrie would be better, but TP could be a guy who could learn the position. If you want continuity (and apparently that is important to some of you) then TP would not suck.

Plus I think contracts in the new CBA will be more cut and dry, but regardless they have Miller who can help with that.

Rebecca Haarlow would be a better GM.

Rebecca Haarlow would be a better GM.

If it means we get to see more Rebecca Haarlow at Blazer games I approve

Pat Riley went from announcer straight* to head coach.

Isn't he a little old for you?

 

[Ghost Pepper]

Sorry TP can't even conduct a halftime interview without a cue card with the questions on them and he played the game for 15 plus years. How hard can it be? The thought that this guy will be negotiating million dollar deals is laughable. Paul Allen must be taking notes from the Jerry Jones handbook on how to destroy a team in record time! Hey why not let free throw guy and the dancing lady apply too? This organization is turning into a joke!

I don't blame TP for being interested. I would blame the Blazers if they make him GM any time soon.

He has a lisp, an impediment to speaking clearly, which makes him seem dumber than he is. Unfortunately for him, it will keep him out of head coaching.
