    Or maybe I'm not overreacting to things and realize this is a whole lot of noise

    Yeah, okay. That must be it. Couldn't be the obvious.

    Yes guys, Neil is about to get fired any day now and Trump is going to be reinstated as President right after.

    So much of our base acts like the Fox News viewership. It's embarrassing. No other franchise is this hostile to its own team.

    Mavs fans going nuts about the Jason Kidd hire, right? Oh...

    How do you know Olshey didn't hire more than one company and go with the report he liked best?

    Even Neil would agree that standing still is not a good idea while other teams are constantly tinkering to get better.

    Should the Blazers have beaten an injury-riddled Nuggets team in the first round? YES. OBVIOUSLY. Good riddance to Stotts and his supporters. Neil also bares responsibility.

    Trading CJ for a better fit and re-signing Powell would be great. Getting Billups was a great start to the off-season.

    We don't. But considering the DA (contacted or not) basically said there's not a lot there, there.

    So this is just noise for the sake of those who want to make noise

    Exactly this. So nothing was found that casts any further dirt on Billups, so instead we should shift our focus to the fact that the investigator they hired holds conservative views? I mean most of the tweets cited in that reddit post are pretty standard conservative fare - retweeted a National Review story, and Dan Crenshaw -the Navy Seal turned Texas congressman. Oh and he retweeted some mugshots of some of our local anarchists - which if you ask me should be spread far and wide.

    which is why it belongs in the OT section along with all the other conspiracy bullshit. “Sweeping things under the rug” fuck outta here no ones sweeping anything under the rug, there’s nothing else to discuss until something new about Billups comes out. You wanna complain about Olsheys handling, start a new thread. Last I checked his name wasn’t in the title of this one.

    I'm confused as to what it is you're arguing...?

    are you saying that guy, and his firm, were not hired by the Blazers to do this investigation?

    So how does a President of a team get up in front of the media, tell them that some things are bigger then basketball, so he assures everyone that there was a thorough investigation, when questioned about it he tells everyone they'll have to take his word for it, his word and then it turns out the investigation wasn't even close to being thorough. How does that team President retain his job? He said it was bigger than basketball, he assured everyone on his word that the investigation was thorough and he lied. How do you just get around that?

    Chauncey is fine, it's Neil that has to go.

    Oh and don't be condescending an NBA team can fire their President of Basketball Operations/GM any time they want and it happens all of the time... there is no such thing as reinstating a President of the United States.

    highkin also reported the team wasn’t in alignment on billups and literally 24 hours later he gets hired. Mans not plugged in and it’s obvious what his recent little crusade is REALLY about. Same with that Deckard clown.

    And Bleacher Report is a bastion for hardnosed reporting.
