Quick reported this a while ago. Get this shit done. It will be interesting to see if they offer it and one or all of them turn it down
Let me know ahead of time and I can definitely give you guys a tour. If you haven't noticed, I don't take this place too seriously. I enjoy the chats, this is the only forum I visit.
My nephews only two, so it'll have to be at least another 3 years (that's the point they start caring right), but I'd definitely appreciate it. Keep up the good work HCP, we all love and envy you, you've got the dream job, getting paid and getting to watch the Blazers, minus the family life implications.
It sounds like the Blazers read this article before talking about who they want as a new GM. That sounds almost exactly what the Blazers are looking for. Miller has talked about what they need and Olshey fits the bill for most of it. Experience, changed the culture of an organization, thinks both long and short term, and can convince an owner what he thinks is right. The Blazers probably would need to bring in a cap expert to help out. Olshey is a player personal guy although it sounds like he has some understanding of the cap. It wouldn't surprise me to hear Blazers offer the position to Olshey in the next few days. Whether or not he takes it is a different story.

Great read. Olshey seems like he'd be an awesome hire. I wonder why he'd want to leave the Clippers, a team that he has helped go from a joke to a legit playoff team. Why bail on that so soon when there is still so much potential?
Well, I can't make the party...I suppose I could go to the Warriors' but I'll pass. The Blazers need a GM and preferably head coach by draft day, but lotto day? What skill does it take to stand at a podium?
