Live coverage of the Neil Olshey press conference

No shoes, no shirt, and he still gets service.

 

Not Gay-CP. That's Jay-Z.

 

olshey has custom bear paw shaped gloves so he can strangle impostors with his bear hands

 

one thing bout olshey, when he hits you feel no pain

 

That was good!

 

Like music. As Sublime says.

 

I like that he doesn't really dance around questions or give the typical canned answers you would generally hear. I'm guessing that the Steve Nash ship has sailed unless he is willing to come here for a lot less money and just a couple of years. This is going to be a very interesting summer.

 

I heard a lot of canned answers. But I will judge him on his transactions, not his words.

 

Canned answers? I thought he was pretty specific even giving specific examples.

 

Yes, some of his answers were given with a little more diplomacy than others but he seemed more open and honest than I thought he would have been.

 

There is a magnitude (sorry Mag's) of difference between a canned answer and speaking within a specific vernacular. Olshey is too quick with answers, extremely wide in his response to questions and appears very sincere in his "vision". I'm am starting to believe Chuck Norris does Neil's laundry disguised as a Chinese immigrant and will strike out at this renegade operative that is planning to topple the throne of Stern... or could it be that Paul Allen has had his brain implanted into a young and upcoming NBA executives body! Stay tuned...BWaaaaaahahahahaha

 

I'll only agree with that if he thinks that talent includes intelligence and toughness.

 

I found O'Shea (Olshey?) to be a bit glib, but I liked it. He was the anti-Yes Man in his presser today. Of course, since he was an aspiring actor, perhaps this is all part of some grand scheme?

 

I liked everything I heard.

He sounds like he has a definite direction for the team, and a plan to get there. It will be interesting to see if he pulls the right strings to make that plan successful.

Tiered draft slots is always the best way to go
Finding long term guys instead of quick fixes is great as well

 

My favorite quote from him is this

On how he envisions style of play: "We are going to defend, That's important to me. We are going to take care of the basketball. I like to play with creativity, flow."

 

I think we are going to put our head down and move forward, and when we pull our head out in the middle of July after Summer League, we are going to be in a great position."


Some would say the firing of Nate and hiring of Neil was already pulling their heads out

 

Love this line by Canzano

 

Dunno, from that graphic, looks a bit female, I mean, that's some rack.

I don't think RoyToy is a troll, but RoyToy, it would be bad manners, bad business, and bad priorities for Osh, in his first press conference, to bash his former employer. Whatever happened between them, let us hope it's LA's loss and Portland's gain, OK?

Go Blazers.

 

There's no act. You REALLY are being called out on your pathetic trolling. For realz.

 

pathetic applies nicely to him
