I didn't even know he had interviewed.

(maybe this belongs in general nba now? To me Sloan will always be Utah Jazz though)

Yeah I heard that. I'm so glad he turned it down. The Blazers are the #1 team I hate now.

I hope the reason he turned it down is payback for their organization sticking it to us over the years in the free agent market.
Yeah, yeah, I know....free market, KOC screwed up, blah blah blah.

They are one organization I loathe as well. Portland, Denver and LA are among my least favorites.

They did trade us the pick for Deron Williams, a trade that is still paying off today. Maybe that is why they have been after us since.

Don't be cruel... no need to ruin people's hate!

I read that Phil Jackson was also offered the job, but turned it down as well.
