    I don't really think that is likely. I was hopeful but as people in here have pointed out and many journalists have, Olshey has done what he's done with the Vulcans and it's hard for them to separate themselves from that. If CJ doesn't get traded and that results in Norm walking maybe Dame goes to ownership and that gets Olshey fired but I just don't see that either because if Olshey blows it that bad then there really will be no way for the team to get better than they were and Dame will demand a trade by the deadline.

    The only way I see Olshey getting fired before the season starts is if the Vulcans decide that he fucked up this off season so badly that they want to hire someone else to immediately come in and trade everyone, including Dame and start a rebuild from the ground up with Chauncey as the head coach.

    I really have no idea why Torey and Eric keep defending this useless garbage GM

    This sounds like something Canzano would write about. Blazer fans really drawing a line in the sand.

    I moved to Denver in 1994. So called Bronco fans in the South Stands of old Mile High were raining batteries and other BS at Wade Phillips Head Coach. Bush League moves. I put my name on the season ticket list as soon as i arrived, being a diehard Bronco Fan from Portland. They called me the next spring to say i have season tickets if i want them. Rest was history, got to see a AFC Championship game 4 years later in person, and we won back to back Super Bowls. The pain of failure, makes the Euphoria of winning it all, so much sweeter.

    Do I have this correct:

    We've used our last 6 1st round draft picks and an expiring contract to obtain Collins, Covington, Ant, and Little?

    SIX 1st round draft picks for a starting role player, 2 deep rotation players, and a guy who's played 11 games in 2 seasons.

    The only media guy to touch on this subject was Canzano.

    Look at his 1st rounders outside CJ/Dame vs his second rounders - there’s a stark difference.

    Blazer 2nd rounders almost always turn into rotation players with a few on the verge of getting near max money in Trent and Barton.

    Elite second round drafters - horrific first round drafters.

    He needed to trade those damn picks for a veteran.

    I think Neil is in big trouble and won't be able to make big moves even if he wanted to. He probably will be able to resign Melo...
    The only hope this team has is Billups.
