    I was surprised he still had one after the whole Draft the Stache debacle. Lucky for him media personalities are held to much lower standards than NBA GMs.

    That was my thought. Disgruntled former employee that has an ax to grind with Neil Olshey. Seems rather suspicious given all of Ropp's pissing, moaning and finger pointing after he got fired from his Talkin' Ball gig.

    I don't remember anyone saying we didn't pursue Whiteside... He turned us down for a more lucrative guaranteed deal.

    Well, we didn't meet with him. I believe he only met with Dallas and Miami. The prevailing thought was that we reached out and determined that he was going to sign with Miami so we decided to spend our time chasing other more attainable options.

    I will go with the "ignore" button if the OP continues trolling.

    I would prefer a "Nuke" button, but only Sly has that capability here. I believe Sly will do it for $5 and a Beef Brisket meal! :evilfire:

    I might be wrong, but my understanding was that we met with Parsons right after midnight. So I'm not sure what transpired before that, but I think Neil decided that flying out to NY to meet with Whiteside was a waste of time.

    While we're throwing out how incompetent the Blazers GM is.
    I'm going to point out the fact that he didn't even try to get a meeting with LeBron James.
    I mean Portland could have had LeBron! damn you Neil.

    The quality of the shit-posting has really gone downhill lately. I blame the mods.

    Neil did meet with LeBron when he was a free agent...



































    Back in 2010 when Neil was with the Clippers and LeBron chose Miami.

    "He'll underwent"

    When does this this take place again?
    Or did it already?

    Maybe it's like ya'll..... meaning "you all."

    So "he all" underwent. It was all of him that underwent surgery.

    Chandler Parsons obviously owns a time machine.

    This is totally a guess, but I think it was pretty obvious that Whiteside was leveraging Dallas to force Miami into maxing him (which they didn't want to do.) Neil probably knew this, didn't want any part of it, and chose to spend his time chasing free agents that might actually sign.
