Will Kim Hughes get Fired?

[riverman]

Breaking news! Kim Hughes will suit up and start at center for the Blazers!

 

[PDXFonz]

You are delusional if you think they are going to take a bad situation and make it worse by firing the one person in this organization who can help develop the young guys we just picked up.

 

[BlazerWookee]

It's bald-faced misdirection.

Book it.

If the blazers were telling Monroe that LA would probably re-sign if he signed as well, and then he hears about the Hughes video, that might be enough to burn any bridge built during his recent meeting with the blazers. I'm not impressed with Hughes. I doubt that Olshey consults with Kim Hughes on a regular basis unless he's talking about Meyers. Remember that Terry Stotts didn't go to the draft combine with Olshey, because player acquisition is Olshey's job.

Blazers can't afford to

Misdirect for what, there is no one left to sign.

Jordan, getting Hibbert while keeping Matthews? Who fucking knows?!

 

[Orion Bailey]

That's what I think. Tell the guy he fucked up, and put him on a short leash. But I don't see how it had any detrimental effect whatsoever on whether LaMarcus decides to stay or go, or if, prior to LaMarcus making an actual decision, other free agents decide to come here or not. No harm, no foul.

I am surprised no one brought this up, but it looks like the timing of the Greg Monroe to Bucks announcement came shortly after this made it out?

Did this help Monroe to make his mind up? Then in turn Monroe made LMA's mind up?

We get neither because it was leaked Kim said LMA is gone?

Im pretty concerned about the fallout effect of this.

 

[riverman]

A max player should be a guy that has enough swagger to feel he'd bring winning to any team he goes to. If Monroe waited for LA's decision, he lacks the confidence in his own game to be a franchise guy..I don't want any player in Portland who doesn't feel playing with Dame is a chance to win. I think Monroe just liked the Bucks situation and felt he'd climb up the ranks in the east before battling for recognition in the west

 

[Nikolokolus]

He'll probably get a reprimand, but there was nothing malicious and it's not like his slip up actually has any impact whatsoever on whether or not LaMarcus stays or goes.

Move on, nothing to see here.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Is Monroe really worth max money?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Why fire him? All he did is tell the truth.. I dont blame the guy. Atleast he doesnt lie like Olshey and Mr I want to retire the best blazer ever and i'll resign here

I dont blame Kim, hes a real dude

This is completely ridiculous. If someone on your staff livestreams your draft board on draft night he's "simply telling the truth." Please all other 29 teams do this - they don't. It is critical that some info be guarded.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Why would a news crew hold onto this clip for several days without releasing it, unless they were willing accomplices in the obfuscation? And why would they wait for LaMarcus to meet with every other team, but not until he officially meets with the Blazers to release it? This SCREAMS coordinated misdirection.

 

[blue9]

What happened? What'd he say?

[Rastapopoulos]

I say Paul Allen should choose between Hughes and Olshey. I think I know who I'd go with.

Ooh, wrong choice Paul. Wrong choice.

 

[magnifier661]

Is Monroe really worth max money?

It doesn't matter. It may have been the only thing to keep Aldridge.

Regardless, I would fire any of my employees that leaked sensitive info about my company

 

[Scalma]

And he did it so nonchalantly too. I couldn't believe how stupid it was. I would've fired him just for being stupid.

Well I was wrongy wrongeltom. Pass the salt, my crow is bland.
