Gary in Jeans in Portland

When this saint comes marching in so do the L's.

John Canzano of The Oregonian has a little insider info that should scare the living day lights out of any Portland Trailblazers fan:

My eyes and ears on alert at PDX Airport tell me that former Golden State Warriors GM Garry St. Jean flew into Portland on Monday, rented a car and is in the area. No telling if St. Jean is here on official business (or interviewing for the vacant GM job?) but I do know that he's still using team-issued luggage.

I've been to Portland once. Nice people. They don't deserve this. As a Warriors fan I wouldn't wish a Gary St. Jean GM-regime on anyone, not even LA Faker fans.

What do you remember most about the Gary St. Jean era in Oakland?

Back slapping moron

Blazers should only consider him as a behind the scenes assistant.

The man lost all credibility as Warriors GM. I couldn't read a St. Jean quote without shaking my head -- a cheerleader and optimist that turned coward for running from the media when things went sour.

Losing Arenas was mostly his fault although the NBA instituded a new rule to protect from that problem happening again.

He has experience so he could help the Blazers with daily operations but GM and head coaching jobs are beyond his capability.

He made bad decisions - in desperation, he fooled himself too easily with over paid veterans past their prime and huge contracts to role players like Jamison.
