ESPN: Blazers to hire new GM soon

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7...narrow-general-manager-search-three-finalists

 

I hope that they make the decision "soon" as well. Like by tomorrow before the draft lottery would be nice.

 

I don't care about that, but it would be nice to have a GM by June 28, which is the date of the NBA draft.

 

So excited!!!!!!

 

Since they could have had either of the first two guys already, I'm betting Neil Olshey is the pick.

 

Only 370 days in....

But if true it's about damn time.

 

Why is Donald Sterling letting Olshey walk?

 

Nice article. Thanks, Ed.

 

That it is. Olshey sounds like a pretty competent GM.

 

I think Olshey is using the Blazers as leverage to get a new contract. With the Clips picking up Del Negro for 1 more year today, I think they now re-sign Olshey. My guess is that the Blazers end up with Morway by the end of the week. The next shoe to drop will be a head coach. I wouldn't be surprised to see them hire Brian Shaw from Indiana if Morway does end up with the Blazers.

 

That's possible, but if Paul Allen really wants Olshey, he can pay him a lot more than Donald Sterling can.

 

I think Olshey is too deep into it to use anything as leverage. Plus I don't think you want to use Paul Allen as a leverage tool after meeting him in London to interview for the job.

Hopefully if it is offered, he will take it instead of burning bridges.

 

Really? Really? Who are you and why should we care what your opinion is on this topic? Damn Rookies!

 

that article should make a lot of people happy. If we get olshey, eric gordon wont sign with us

 

Hope this gets handled soon so we can move on and worry about the draft.

 

Rookies have to start somewhere and they usually aren't blessed with an awesome job working with the team. We get it HCP, we all envy you, we appreciate your close proximity to the team, but for the rest of us here who read this site, this is the closest many of us will get to participate in discussions.

No offense is targeted to you, I think you do a mighty fine job, I enjoy your "road travilin' with big john segment," and you seem to do a mighty fine job with your production pieces. However, this is the closest many of us "fans" get to the team, and your "rookie with 14 posts" schtick is getting a little tiresome.

Norman put an entirely relevant post together, and with a diminishing fan base of the team I think this site could use a little new blood, so long as we "rookies" don't go full mixum (retard).

 

Brother, I was totally joking. I was hazed when I joined here and I have kinda' taken over that job........ no offense.

 

No offense taken, I know you grew up here and aren't a bandwagon fan, hell, I want to take my nephew down to the production site and meet you some night in the trailer (no homo, and no offense to crandc).

You bring a hell of a lot to this board and I appreciate your candor here, you're my insider, and I respect your authoritah!
