    The only thing left to do is sit back and watch the show

    We are in tank mode. At least 2 years of lottery picking. Olshey will be fired by then.

    Why would Olshey be fired?

    while people are looking at Kanter and Monroe and saying "centers", Kanter's play-by-play shows him playing 42% of his time at PF when he was putting up stats at OKC, or about the same as LMA playing LaMonster in 2010-11. Monroe played 43% and 42% of his time at PF the last two years. I don't know that they're looking for players who solely play C.

    * Sign Frazier to a multi-year deal.

    * Lopsided trade for center depth.

    Because Allen will need a scapegoat. How many GM's have we been through in the last 15 years anyway?

    Scapegoat for what? Everyone should know what's going on right now.

    Because all panicked and dumped bad contracts on us. Their moves were to try and save their job while Olshey has already sold Allen that we will rebuild the right way. I doubt he's fired unless he does something really stupid like listening to the fans in this board.

    A scapegoat for 2 or 3 consecutive years in the lottery.

    You're just upset because you can't troll the Spurs board right now.

    I don't think Neil is done. I think Kaman is gone. The Kanter signing, to me, wasn't about targeting a big man specifically. Neil is in asset acquisition mode. He knows that we need another star player, and Kanter has the talent to step in and put up 20 and 10 from day one. He's not a project like Vonleh or Leonard. I think he's looking to add a #2 option to go with Lillard and I would highly doubt he cares about position (outside of point guard obviously).

    I agree with this statement. I think we could possibly get this #2 by the end of summer.

    I think there's a good chance we see Henderson/Kaman/"insert young guy" go out for someone who can be a legit second option. Won't be until August though.

    I'm sure there's other guys that we haven't heard about. Most of Neil's trades were completely off the radar.

    I think now you go into waiting mode for news of somebody being disgruntled on some other team. I think it'll be pretty quiet from Summer League to training camp. But if we go into the season as is, points are going to have to be a product of a good team system, because we have basically two players who can create a shot.
