    Agree.
    At the time of those signings, I used the phases;
    Olshey painted himself into a corner.
    He went a contract too far.

    I have not totally given up on Olshey, like some Blazer fans.

    However, I believe this off season will define his legacy as the Blazers GM. He needs to pull a rabbit out of his hat to get "his" team to the next level.

    And that rabbit is gonna be Beasley for MLE and using the TPE on Lee/Green.

    Doesn’t really rock my world but it may be the best we can do without trading CJ, which I’m not against but with Olshey... not realistic

    What????

    [​IMG]

    Reus, Kroos, Ozil, THOMAS MUELLER??? Neuer is the best goalie in the world!!! Supposedly..

    Boatang, Gomez, Werner, Khedira??

    That's a fuckin' squad and they completely underperformed. Y'all don't need a rebuild with all of those names. It's an All star team...

    Edit: I didn't even mention my boy Pummels er Hummels (I call him this cause he's always getting carded)

    Well the summer of 2016 is here to fuck us for a while. We have nothing to give up and free agents don’t wanna sign here even for the smallest amount of money we have. Nurk will probably settle with us. Other than that I don’t see much happening

    Buy courtside season tickets, and attend every game.
    But I doubt you'd pay to watch an inferior product.

    Well at least Germany made it where as the USA choked and failed. Germany always has tons of talent to rebuild with.

    A day before free agency, not one word of Neil and Blazers linked to any major players in trade or for TPE... instead we get talk of Jow Nunnally and Pot head Beasley

    I dont' see why this is a bad thing. Everything coming out now is mostly about getting hits and readers its not about what is actually happening. Neil has always kept a very tight ship and almost nothing ever leaks out before it happens, thats been seen when he was in the Clippers and shown as the GM of the Blazers. Just because we are not in the talks for people does not mean Neil isn't doing his job, it just means he isn't spouting off nonsense to reporters like most other GMs.

    It also means Portland isn't interesting enough to a national audience for these click bait sites and click bait social media posters to make shit up, and regurgitate made up shit, involving the Blazers. And I'm fine with that.

    Can you imagine rooting for a franchise that could score Lbj/Kawhi/pg all in one offseason. There would be a parade in pdx just for the signings.

    There would be a parade in Pdx for obtaining ONE of those dudes, let alone all three.

    Unlike other GMs we've had, Olshey plays his cards very close to the vest.

    Everyone keeps talking about Olshey playing it close to the vest but what does that have to do with the GMs he is trying to trade with keeping quiet??? What are the odds every other GM he has talked to keeping quiet if he is truly trying to make a big trade?
