    Neil killed it. Dame killed it. Aminu is already high. Davis studied his answers last night.

    I think it's probably true, but I don't see at some kind of nefarious thing either. Neil probably told LMA to say it and he probably went along with it because it seemed like a good way to not have to talk about his impending free agency for the rest of the season - it took heat off of both of them.

    great presser!

    Dame seems so relaxed now...much less guarded in how he replies. Far more genuine. I have discovered a whole new respect for him.

    Neil did a fantastic job on explaining LAs situation..to that point, it seems to bleed through all of his civility, that there is a definite air of relief that LA is gone..hahaha . Notice anyone? Not a room full of management and team mates attempting to kidnap LA back.

    Think I am going to like these new guys.

    I don't think Neil is done yet. I think there's still a couple things left before next season. It might not be another free agent.

    He pretty much said it'll more likely be a trade

    I think Neil is keeping every opportunity open. We know the pattern now, which is a great rule. Don't get ourselves into bloated contracts (sorry OKC you didn't trick us on maxing Kanter). We are in good hands

    The Kaman comments made that clear.

    And maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I was encouraged by his comments about this team "in October" will be better than what we could have done with every one back except Aldridge. Gives me hope that we have something else in mind.

    Also encouraged by his reminder of how he got Camby to the Clips during summer league.

    Kaman isn't coming back as a coach. Did you watch his show? When he retires he's going to end up on a heavily fortified compound filming his version of Duck Dynasty.

    Olshey definitely made it seem like Kaman will be traded at some point, as he should be.

    This long awaited press conference was as refreshing as a starving baby being breast feed by Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Scarlett Johansson, & Jessica Alba.

    The only thing I didn't agree with Neil on is CJ's ability to play back up PG. I see the logic here in that CJ plays well with the ball in his hand, and that he can create for others, and that he needs the extra minutes, but I am also a believer that you put players in a position where they can best succeed. CJ struggles bringing the ball up against pressure. Somebody better be on the floor to help out. I want CJ focused on scoring.

    Anyone who thinks Olshey did anything but kill that shit is just a bitter person that only hears what they want to.

    Wait so.... Neil basically said all the stuff I've been saying? Imagine that.

    Well, maybe because there was new information? Just possibly?
