Booth wants the job. Billups is interested. Others interested too, including some agents.
Get Billups@!

I wonder if it's true that Billups is only interested if he can hire his own coach and his name is not Ryan Saunders. Listening to Chauncey announce last night, I kept thinking he might be a nice person to fill that role if he has the ability to do the job. He's got a nice patient calm demeanor. He was a former great point guard. He understands the modern game. Booth might be more qualified however at this time, but who even knows.

Are we sure he doesn’t want Saunders?


He seemed to like Flip. They worked together in Detroit too, didn’t they?

I'm sure of all the candidates, Glen will hire the wrong one.

Did I say "wrong"?

I also meant cheapest.

I can't find where I saw it yesterday, but rumor was Chauncey wanted to hire his own coach. I think Billups has too much common sense for this franchise. Is it sad that I almost wish nobody ever got hired by this franchise just because I want to protect them? Haha

That was what I remember but that came out a while ago or maybe it was just that Chauncey didn't have interest...but we need to get him if he is!

I wanted to start a thread but I don’t know how to embed tweets and news, so better you did lol. Booth would be 34th on my list. Billups is interesting because you could maybe see players wanting to play for him. That ex player trust factor. But he has little experience to be fair.

Doogie on his Scoop pod has consistently said that Ty Lue would e Chauncey’s guy if he was heading personnel. But take that for what it’s worth.

To embed a tweet you just post the link. No need to surround it by any tags, the forum will take care of all that.

I wasn't aware if the Lue thing with Billups. If true than I don't want him.

Ty Lue would be the worst possible option available.

To be completely fair, that’s what Doogie has said repeatedly on his podcast. Lue and Billups are extremely close, Lue is Godfather to Billups son. But that’s just Doogie. I haven’t seen Jon K talk about it, or anyone nationally.

Lue goes to LA. If Billups is hired he keeps Ryan as they are close.

I just want someone that Adam Silver really likes. I figure that will give us our best chance to win the draft lottery.

I am sure he'd have Silver's ear.

Yep. Picking a guy the commissioner liked and recommended didn’t work out with Kahn. That’s for sure.

Brent Barry latest rumor as a candidate for POBO. He is currently VPOBO for San Antonio. Have no idea how that might impact on Layden.

Other than contract details, is there an easier front office job than GM or POBO in the NBA? Small rosters, cap, no real minor league system to deal with? Review NBA draft sites, use ESPN trade machine, draft consensus player at draft spot, call it a day. Can't be any worse than what "real" GM's do.
