    Is ok to overpay 1 or 2 guys. We overpaid 4 guys. And it is not even close.

    Not because Neil decides to keep the same roster, but because no one wants to get near the mess of contracts that is our team.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Lillard/McCollum/Nurkic is a nice core. Harkless is an okay role-player. That's pretty much it for the good news. If the rest of the garbage on the roster were cheap, that would be fine. The problem is that the rest of the garbage pretty much precludes adding more solid (non-star) pieces around the core. Olshey will have to draft like a demon.

    Sigh...Crabbe and Harkless have potential to be moved, but Meyers and Turner will be in our future for a long time...

    Meyers will be movable when the team's true window opens up in three years. If Kaman joins the team and works with him, maybe two years.

    This may look like a joke, but... this could possibly improve our team without having to lose much.

    Yes. This is a inequality that really is too much to overcome. You go across the river and the Timbers can remake their lineup in a single offseason. That type of growth is impossible for the Blazers. I don't see it hurtjng this genwrath on of fans. But man it will the next one!

    Harkless 1 point 1 rebound 1 assist. Making 40 million over next four years. At least he got that 500k though.

    Crabbe 6 points 3 rebounds 5 fouls. Making 74 million over the four years.

    Meyers Leonard 0 minutes played. Making 11 mil/year.


    Javale McGee 16 minutes 14 points 5 rebounds. Making 1.4 million dollars this year.

    Patrick McCaw rookie 2nd round draft pick 11 points 5 rebounds 5 assists 3 steals.

    Ian Clark 2013 undrafted GS signee; huge game 1 with 14 pts and shooting well over 50% for series.


    Say what you want about the stars, and I'm well aware veterans like Zaza, West, etc came to GS to win a ring. McGee was the difference maker the last two games, and McCaw is the only reason we weren't up 25 at half time tonight.

    Neil Olshey is a fucking clown.

    As much as he drives me mad, Aminu is a good role player for how much he is paid. Davis too if he doesn't get fat like he did this year.

    But after that, it ain't pretty....

    Aminu is a very good role player. The problem is he's been asked to do way too much due to some awful decisions by the FO.

    Half my glass is filled with "Summer league is going to be great with Layman, and our draft picks."

    The other half is filled with "Iggy scored more tonight than Crabbe has the whole series"

    In reality I wish it were full of whiskey.

    I think those decisions are on him....not the FO.
