"@AlexKennedyNBA: Chris Mullin is in the mix for the Portland Trail Blazers' general manager job, according to sources close to the situation."

"@MagicalNBA: I'll be stunned if Foyle gets the GM title and is tasked to possibly rebuild this summer. None of my contacts believe it will happen."

do we have the personnel to run the triangle?

Not only do we not have the personnel to run the triangle, I don't think Shaw will run it. Doesn't it take a few years for players to learn? I remember Rambis tried running it in Minnesota and it failed horribly. I think we just need to go more traditional.

It failed in Minny because he didn't have the right guards (we don't either). Any offense worth naming, will take a while to master, but simply learning it should be able to happen in one training camp.

Jerry Sloan on interest in Orlando Magic job: “Yes, I think so. It would be very intriguing. But they would have to be interested in me.’’

Jerry Sloan, who coached temperamental Karl Malone, was asked if he could handle Orlando's Dwight Howard: "I’d let other people judge that''

I would love to have Sloan come coach our team.

Cool, it's nice to see that even with everything going on some big name coaches would still join us.

Would be thrilled to get Sloan... the same guy said Sloan has interest in rebuilding with the Bobcats though... hmm...

OrlandO · Post #131 » by **OrlandO** » Tue May 22, 2012 7:56 pm

The problem with going after Sloan... I'm sure DWill will bad mouth him and try to scare Dwight.

Sloan or Derone...LOL that should be an ESPN headline.

EvilKoko · Post #133 » by **EvilKoko** » Tue May 22, 2012 7:57 pm

If we hired Sloan the long shot of getting deron goes out the window. Not that I care..

Seeing how Martins said he's looking for a championship coach, I guess that rules Sloan out seeing how he's never won a title.

The sad thing is, I could honestly see our organization being that stupid.

OrlandO · Post #135 » by **OrlandO** » Tue May 22, 2012 8:00 pm

Dwill doesn't want to come here, so Sloan every time.
