Neil Olshi**y's Summer

That tweet is the dumbest shit I've ever read. That person should be banished from twitter.

To tout that the Clippers gained Harris and Williams when they lost CP3, Griffin, and Jordan is stupid.

The Spurs gained DeRozan but lost Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green, and Tony Parker.

Utah gained Rubio but lost Gordon Hayward.

I can't believe you'd post this nonsense like it is knock on the Blazers.

 

In my scenario he's with us and Neil is the asshole for not offering.

 

At least when Olshey signs or trades for someone that person actually shows up to the press conference.

 

I agree with a lot of that, but I am calling foul on the Spurs comment. The Spurs lost Kawhi a year ago, Parker has very little tread left on the tires, and Green is not even close to as valuable as DeRozan.

 

This gave me a good laugh.

 

1. 4.4 Mil is a steal and there's no convincing me otherwise. Not swayed.

2. Um no. There are 48 mins at the PF spot. He could easily play more there if Aminu only plays 24 mins per and plays more 3.

3. Which is why I said MAYBE.

4. Neil's a fucking idiot.

 

The only “arguement” for ed that even made a little sense is if NO was certain he had a deal in place to get cousins. As it is though, not at all happy about letting Ed go...

 

I didn't like losing Ed anymore than anyone but in retrospect I completely understand why Ed went to the east and we opened those minutes...Ed is a consummate pro....this will be his 5th team in his career and he's on a one year deal....we could actually bring him back like we did Steve Blake...I think there were no hard feelings from Ed's camp at all....I"ve moved on from the Big Ed loss and see his minutes being filled by our younger guys now....I'm actually one of the few folks around here who think Swanigan is going to produce and at least match Ed's rebounds..Caleb also sets good screens. We were talking to the Pels about Boogie when this all went down as well.

 

I agree. It should've said:

Por-Staukas

Wtf?

 

The market dictates value, not affinity.

Stotts cutting Aminus minutes isn’t realistic.

And you still haven’t addressed the basketball reasons behind dumping Ed.

You can be mad with Olshey about a thousand other things, literally, but his reasoning in regards to Ed is pretty logical.

 

There aren't any basketball reasons. You always need an Ed type on your team. Olshey is stupid. There's no logic at all.

 

its Ed Davis.

 

bro I disagree....and Ed was my favorite Blazer behind Dame....there are basketball reasons if you look at it objectively. Ed may very well become an allstar with the Nets and even get a starting role....he said before last season he wanted to start..this was not an opportunity for him to do that. Even the Nets only gave him a one year deal

 

What is an Ed type exactly?

 

The type that will get playing time while the Meyers type can park his ass permanently at the end of the bench.

 

Lmao woj. Best buds

 

You guys better brace yourself for Meyers seeing more playing time...hopefully he can start this season without the stigma and raise his trade value. I'm personally going to cheer for him to contribute

 

This woj Neil friendship is fascinating.

 

The fact you don't know this is probably why we're debating this.

He's Mr. Hustle.
