NOH Steps Down
Over the past day we have had some big news with free agency up and running, but under that there way be somthing way bigger devloping. The New Orleans Hornets GM contacted me a couple of hours ago, and told me some big news. He is stepping down as a Staff Member and almost contimpaited retiring. I got the first Interview with the Back to Back champs GM. We talk not only about him stepping down but how he plans for this season to run.
The Mouth of Mo-Town:Why are you stepping down as a commitite member?
NOH:Ive decided to step down as a committee member because of a lot of things that are going on with the franchise that makes it harder for me to devote my time not just handling my team but handling the league also. as you can see in the past weeks I havent been really that active compared to the last two seasons and i dont want the league to suffer because of this.
The Mouth of Mo-Town:How close were you to stepping down all toghther?
NOH:I was considering stepping down a long time ago but i just decided just now to step down as a CM because work became harder and harder
The Mouth of Mo-Town:Do you think you will still be able to maintain this team?
NOH:By stepping down i can devote more time to the team and be able to be focus on trying to win the championship *cough 3peat*
The Mouth of Mo-Town:How good do you think your chances are of winning a 3rd title in a row?
NOH:Every offseason a lot of things can happen that can make a situation of a team a whole lot different so you never know. a lot of teams this offseason just got stronger like NYK,MIA and dont get me started on ORL damn their team is SICK! Props to you man, but i would still like to say NEVER SAY NEVER we still have a good chance in winning a championship and we have a group of guys that have Manu,Tim and Chris it would be crazy for me not to even get to the playoffs!
The Mouth of Mo-Town:Are you looking to make any major offseason deals this offseason?
NOH:Even though i would like to have Paul be on my team for a very long period of time(my IDOL) and he has been a really big part of the two championships. im looking for offers on him since im starting to face the fact that i cant resign both Tim and himself next season. but if there is a deal that could get me a large amount of cap space and a player with GREAT potential im considering it.
The Mouth of Mo-Town:Do you think u will be the #1 team in the west standings wise?
NOH:For me the standings really doesnt matter. in the 1st season phoenix was at the top of the standings, but who won the championship? standings doesnt mean anything if it just results into not getting the championship
The Mouth of Mo-Town: Can Tim Duncan win a 3rd MVP in a row
NOH:Tim Duncan has been a great player and great person and has been a great leader for this team. he would go down as one of the greatest players ever in the history of the league if he wins a 3rd MVP in a row we will be all happy for him but if not, he would still be an MVP to our team.
The Mouth of Mo-Town:What do you think the other GM's reaction of you stepping down as a CM will be?
NOH:For one thing i think they would be relieved LOL, they dont have to wait for long periods of time for me to accept the trades they submit and i also think they will go nuts to try and heckle SEA for them to be the replacement CM HAHAHA
The Mouth of Mo-Town:How long did you ponder your descion?
NOH:like what I said before, it was still during the regular season of last year when a lot of work came coming my way and when it was already too much to handle i decided to go through with it.
The Mouth of Mo-Town:Hope you stay a GM for a long time Noh we need ya lol.
NOH:Hahaha thank you its been really good being a CM especially when you help start this league with SEA and see that is now going for its 3rd year and is still going strong. good luck to the CM that is gonna replace me and i hope you can make this league even better and goodluck to the teams this season and i hope i have some bigger competition this year. im still gonna win the 3peat *wink* (ORL i'll be waiting for you LOL)
