Well we differ on that. I would never consider a racist/biggot/homophobe/alleged sexual assault etc., even if it was the greatest coach of all time. I would rather not win a championship then deal with that.

This seems odd to me. Why are the other horrible things you mentioned actual things, but the sexual assault was alleged.

“Alleged” doesn’t mean shit to me.
Innocent until proven guilty.
Now a PROVEN rapist / sexist / racist etc is a different story in which I agree with you.
But alleged?? Come on.
Bro I allege you’re a racist for not having an issue with Jody Allen, but having an issue with Chauncey Billups.
Ahhh you’re alleged racist. Hope your job fires you now.
See how that goes?

I agree with you about half the time, and I like joking around with you, but this is how I feel and a great point.

How do allegations equate the same as being a proven piece of shit?

Along the lines of what I just posted, that’s far from “botching this from the beginning”. You can be aware of pushback — and even fans not liking a hire — and still move forward with due diligence.
The biggest fuck up, in my eyes, is him being Silent Sam and waiting DAYS for a presser while this all builds up.
And whoever leaked Billups on Friday.

All Olshey and the Blazers would have had to do was release a tweet after Woj's that said some BS like...

While we have completed the interview process with multiple candidates, we are still reviewing things and are still discussing things within the organization. A decision will be made next week and a press conference has been scheduled for Tuesday. ​

We see BS like that all the time.

Self-employed. Your logic rivals that of Socrates. Note to all: do not engage this guy in a battle of wits.

It's scorching hot outside....I'm stayin in the air conditioning and sipping ice water
 
When a crowd gets worked up into a frenzy? they want action, right or wrong. Takes on a ugly synergy...
 
If they drop Billups tomorrow and hire Hammonds, how long do you think it will be before the Canzoites and twitter twats come for her?

Once a witch hunt starts, you always have to find more witches to feed the fire. You have to keep changing the definition and lowering the threshold. Otherwise, the mob might turn on you.

Completely agree.
But I don’t agree with the stance that him being interviewed was “screwing the pooch” from the jump.

Half the time? I’ll take it
 
It seems like Neil had a small group of candidates. When that group was announced not a PEEP about Billups. He’s been floated as a candidate for NBA jobs for a couple years and has been offered a front office position, and of course is currently a Clipper. Neil interviewed everyone and got Lillard involved which everyone wanted.

then people got suddenly pissed off and Neil bungled the search? Hate him for 2016 or CJ or his attitude but wtf was wrong with the search?
 
I love all the backtracking for the fans who were calling anyone supporting Billups hire "rape apologists" and now saying "its no way its the fans". Classic fucking shitheads. Its the same outrage mob as the Jailblazers era.

Its a small segment of vocal fans who think they are more important than they are, with their outrage posse, trying to spread their bad juju around.

I don't know what "bb" means but I actually I agree with you more than you realize. Neil HAS to consider how any decision he makes affects the team especially Dame. Social media is here to stay, right or wrong. One misstep and that's it; you are gone. Should Billups get the job Dame might have to walk on eggshells, every move he makes could be under the microscope. It's BS, in some cases, but it's the world we live in.

First and foremost Neil has to think of Dame IMHO, since we all agree that he is the team's only shot at a really deep run. "How will this coach affect Damian Lillard on and off the court?" Period. That should be number one. Yes, a candidate that Dame wants is a key factor, but so is one that makes his life easier. Now because of his now infamous "I like Kidd and Billups" blurb, Dame has found himself in a tight spot. I hope Dame is not bothered by the twitter shit storm he is finding himself in. He seemed pissed when I last checked his twitter.

You can bet that plenty of PR people would tell Dame to cut his losses and say he won't play for Billups given what he knows now. I honestly don't know what he should do and wouldn't want to be in his position. Things can get ugly out there.
 
Same guy who said:

Now says:


?? So what are we to think? It sounds like Olshey HAD to hire Billups to please Dame, but... it didn't work?

Either way, sounds like he's blaming Dame, without actually saying so.

Olshey has blamed fans so I would not be surprised if he tried to blame Dame.
