Nah FAMS.....they were double teaming Shae that whole game. If you think this guy isn't anything more than a 10th or 11th guy......you're setting yourself up for a letdown. (which isn't really very rare around here)
I guess there is not much left at this late date.
there may be HOF players in the next 3 upcoming drafts, so technically ALL the Blazers could help acquire the next HOF Blazer.

I’m not saying he is as good at all so please don’t take this that way. Knox seems like an Aaron Gordon type player.
The Blazers "NBA" team right now would probably sweep team USA from the FIBA competition so I think the "NBA" players you're talking about are not dominating todays game. These new young guys who've been riding the pine and are hungry will surprise some teams. Nobody wanted Watford when we picked him up and now he got a contract before Dwight Howard or Hassan Whiteside so shit happens. I'm less worried about us not having an NBA roster than I am about not having an NBA coach.
Unfortunately I’m starting to feel the same way on the coach part. I really wanted Chauncey to be a very good coach.
I think Chauncey is a better fit in the front office and would make a better "life" coach than "NBA" coach....I too hope I'm wrong but I think Dame wanting to leave after watching Spoelstra take a bottom seed to the finals and weighing that against Chauncey's blown endgames and poor defensive schemes with his "zone" solution played a bigger part in the decision than the roster or the draft picks. We gave a prime time Dame a rookie head coach and fired the guy who brought him to his level of fame. Doesn't get talked about much. Chauncey tanked to a horrible first two year win loss record.
fans were allowed to jump all over Stotts for coaching blunders. But if you emphasize Coach Billups mistakes, then you must be a troll from Miami that needs to leave Blazer fans alone.
Seriously. People were calling out Stotts for decisions he made in the 2nd quarter of games they won. It was crazy stuff?
At this point Chauncey has made it to the playoffs zero times. Billups has a 62-104 coaching record with a staggering .373 winning percentage.
Don't think anyone ever said they--or their circumstances--were the same.
I don't think that's fair because it's avoiding context. I never liked using direct results to analyze coaching and this is why. The Blazers were 2.5 games out of HCA at the deadline when they blew it up. Stotts had many late-season runs. Chauncey didn't get the chance. His first season he didn't have Dame.
I do agree with the context portion of your statement for sure. However eventually direct results do come into play. I also kind of expected bad coaching from a rookie coach. Eventually he isn't a rookie coach any longer.
Can we trade Dame and Chauncey for Jovic Jaquez and Spo?
we're using the Kevin Knox thread to discuss Chauncey's coaching. It's not fair to Kevin, how did all this start?
I guess if everyone from all sides just say the other was dealt a bad hand they can all get another year or two or maybe even three before they have to look for another job?
