    The idiotic fans objecting to hiring a candidate who's been accused of rape and whose own defense makes him sound pretty damn bad? The idiotic fans who vociferously objected to Jason Kidd thereby kind of giving anyone paying attention a clue as to how they'd react if Billups was hired? The idiotic fans that it's Olshey's job to please/at least not alienate?

    I think we knew that after he signed Crabbe to a 70+ million dollar contract.

    The Billups rape incident was brought up by fans before the Blazers had even narrowed down the names of who they wanted to interview. It was known enough by the Blazers that they asked him about it in his interview. So nobody knew nothing really doesn't wash. Is Portland woke? Or easily outraged? Sure. That's not new. The Blazers as an organization are very very aware of this. They market it to it and profit from it. For Olshey not to either be aware or care is a concern.

    If Olshey didn't see the concern by many fans over the possible hiring of Kidd when it was reported by Haynes he lives and works in a hole and needs to climb the fuck out.

    If Olshey did see the concern by fans over the possible hiring of Kidd but didn't think it would and/or could possibly apply also to Billips then he is a fucking idiot.

    Olshey has publicly blamed fans for shit in the past.

    If you don't know your market or your audience the problem is with you, not the market.

    *This is from someone who has not been upset over the hiring of Billups.

    Bullshit. This board is pretty damn liberal and the poll shows that the overwhelming majority are perfectly happy with Billups. If Dame chooses to point to the vocal minority as a reason to leave, then he wants to leave and is looking for an excuse. That's fair enough - nobody should stay at a job they don't like - but fans are fickle mushheads and every athlete knows that.

    were you not? Or what, you don’t have your own thoughts and everything you say is someone else’s?

    Because it's an interesting take that I hadn't seen here. That's what we do here, you know? Talk about the Blazers?

    The only ones he sees are the kids in his mentions on Twitter and Instagram. So yeah I’m going to blame our fans. The rational ones are rational enough not to tweet him, even if they don’t agree with the hiring, knowing their opinion is not the only one that matters. Clearly what this event has told us is theres enough twats without enough sensibility to actually grow a brain and do some critical thinking.
