Does having Larry Miller in charge scare anyone else?

I am confident he knows what he is doing. We might not be able to see what the final result this will produce, but I truly believe that this is the first step to get the ball rolling. There is more to come. And if not we have GO coming back and a new explosive player in Wes Mathews!

That Air Jordan brand by Nike? Total failure.
The Blazers during his tenure as president so far? Worst team in the NBA.

So, I’m pretty sure he knows nothing about running anything successful. I’m sure he doesn’t have anyone who can advise him on basketball talent. Im sure David Kahn will look like a genius next to him.

Except none of those are true. Maybe he’s not the best equipped man for the job, but I don’t think he’s going to screw things up.

I’m pretty confident that Miller is consulting with others in the Blazer organization to ensure that the moves are for the benefit of the organization. He has been very successful in the past and there’s no reason to believe that he would make moves that would jeopordize the future. Sure, he will be nice and cordial to Allen and it may be perceived as a suckup. But the relationship he has developed wtih Allen, from a boss/employee standpoint, is not that much different than that of the ordinary corporate employee.

…especially since he’s elevated the Comcast issue to the FCC. However I AM concerned with him handling the basketball side of the house. I’d really like to see a GM brought on board sooner rather than later…one that really knows basketball and a decent degree of quantitative analysis.

I think Ahmad Rashad would look good in that office.

..and I am not going to choose anyone else to worry about either.

…but then I told myself that nothing had been determined yet, and I feel a lot better.

Then he’ll be doing a great job!
