This Blazers era about to be over article (Nate)

[MIXUM]

Really good read and it also says that Cho is trying to make a trade everyday to improve the team. Sounds like Nate is staying though unless the team really implodes.


anyway enjoy.... and im assuming the end of era means nate but if im wrong im sure you guys will glady point that out for your old pal mixum!

[craigehlo]

Good read. Thanks

 

[Nikolokolus]

Thanks Mix.

 

[Hey]

Definitely. So much speculation confirmed in this informative article.

 

[BBert]

The "end of era" in this article quite obviously means Brandon Roy, Iso King and All Star, not Nate.

 

[Natebishop3]

Some of us have been saying for a while now that McMillan was never a very good coach, and that our overall talent had carried his inadequacies. He relied so heavily on Roy and the pick and roll, but now that Roy is not one of the ten best players in the league, the team is floundering. Can Roy adapt his game and play through this? Sure, but will McMillan adapt his coaching philosophies to match?

 

[MIXUM]

might be both..... but the article also seems to speculate nate will not back more then roy is done. theres even a certain part saying 6 years is a long life for nba coach. it also says that roy will need a new style which again signals coaching change which means a new era and new style for blazers basketball.

thats my take...

Mix is the only real Blazer fan on here. Much props to you sir!

It absolutely does not say that.

Seems pretty obvious that Roy is likely to outlast Nate, given that Roy has a 5 year no-cut contract and Nate doesn't.

Unfortunately, by the end of Roy's contract, Nate may well be a better coach than Brandon is a player.

I guess it all depends on how you perceive Nate as a coach. Right now I'd say Roy has a long way to fall before he'll reach Nate's coaching level.

Yes... but he is falling. If you compute the velocity of his fall you'll see that he'll cover that distance in short order.

Well, it also depends on whether Roy will even be able to play out his contract. He might be forced to retire.

Two errors in the article:

1) It claims that Oden turns 22 next month. Not true. He turns 23.

2) It claims we are 4 games behind 8th place New Orleans. Not true. We are 2 games behind 8th place Phoenix.

I thought New Orleans was a top 4 team in the West?

 

[KingSpeed]

New Orleans is only 1 game behind the #4 seed.

 

[Mediocre Man]

It absolutely does not say that.

I didn't see that either

 

[MIXUM]

Cho isn’t averse to making a trade. He has potential expiring contracts of Przybilla and Miller to use before the Feb. 24 trade deadline, but he has to keep Oden’s situation in mind. If he deals Przybilla or Miller, a player or players – and their salaries – will come back to Portland’s payroll.

“There’s not a day goes by that I don’t look closely at the roster and think about trying to improve the team,” Cho said. “So yeah, (a trade) is a possibility.”

I'd better re-read it. I didn't even see a second page


It does say he thinks about it, not that he actually does try.


I think about having sex with Heidi Klum, but I don't actually do it.

Right now, given the pieces Cho has to work with, you probably have a better chance with Heidi than he does of landing a major player.

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

and MIX was so hated?

Just don't get it!

 

[MIXUM]

i dont think we need carmelos per say but need more richardsons, terrys, rush etc.

SCORERS!!!!!!

I think what the team needs is not necessarily scorers, but winners. Guys that know how to win.

I was going to respond, but your example is a lot better than mine! With the added bonus that I may not think about the Blazers for the rest of the day!

Can you show your work on that?

But Cho was a part of an organization that yard saled their whole team to force it to move to the smallest market in the NBA while at the same time getting lucky enough to have the second pick in 2007 so they were saved from making the same mistake Pritchard made.

Really, how can you doubt the man?

First off, he had zero control of the franchise moving. That was the owner. Same with cutting payroll. As assistant GM he gets the marching orders from the GM who gets them from the owner.

Also, the personnel moves in OKC have been solid. Durant fell into the hands, but they picked Westbrook, who is their best player right now.

In the end Cho will be judged on his record, nothing else. So far his trade one trade of Jerryd Bayless for what will be a late 1st round draft pick and then leaving us with Armon Johnson and Patty Mills at PG isn't sitting too well with me. So hopefully he will pick it up, and make me forget about that one.
