    Why do reporters keep asking about Free Agency when they know the GM's can't talk about it and will get fined if they do? Kind of makes them look not too bright.

    Journalists make dirt, basically... you'd have to be at least a little stupid to keep at it instead of finding another line of work.

    There's just something so reassuring when Olshey does his press conference thing.

    I feel bad for Jason though. He spent 10 mins on courtside blowing smoke on how great Olshey is. How bright and how much smarter than every other Blazer GM weve had. Only to have that happen to him. Wonder if he still feels the same way.

    Good point. I was thinking the same. He was a little dismissive

    Quick a little butt-hurt? He likes to be slapped and spanked a little.

    I'v never been so glad to have had a cheap ass owner like Sterling in the league. If he hadn't been so damn cheap we wouldnt' have gotten Olshey.
