re: HC Terry Stotts out at Portland...

I really don’t understand why everyone says a hard reboot is the best way forward. The Pelicans have been obscenely lucky by winning the lottery and getting Zion. Can you imagine how crappy it would be if we wouldn’t have won the lottery? Can you imagine how crappy it must be to be a Rockets fan right now, assuming they don’t win the lottery?

Obtaining players at Dame’s level is the absolute hardest thing to do, especially in a market like Portland. Dame is also very special in his mindset compared to other star level guys. He hasn’t bought into the Lebron/KD aau way of thinking. If he doesn’t go scorched earth, and I sincerely hope he doesn’t because that’s what makes him special, the worst case is Portland makes the playoffs for the next 4-5 years and they have a guy they build a statue of in front of the arena. Best case is they luck into a rebuild around dame where they hit every move and they compete for championships for 4-5 years. Either way, it is much better than staring into the abyss with no guy like dame to captain the ship.
