    DOES NOT MOVE THE NEEDLE. WE SHOULD HAVE DRAFTED LE BRON JAMES AT THAT SPOT INSTEAD.

    I'm sorry, were we supposed to have everything settled in 2 days? Or are you just disappointed that there aren't more Blazer-related rumors out there that would likely amount to nothing?

    How about we at least let the moratorium end before we start complaining about Olshey not being aggressive enough? Geez, you can be such a SlyPokerDog sometimes...

    He probably is waiting to see where Dwight Howard lands.

    I think I like that its been so quiet. like how olshey operates...just because everything isn't in the media doesn't mean we aren't being very active behind closed doors. this makes me think we're working on a trade

    He drafted McCollum at ten too. I think that will pay off handsomely.

    It's like rounds of a draft. Last summer we could afford Round 1, so he was at Hibbert's front door at midnight. This time, we can only afford Round 2, so he's waiting for scraps in the back next to the doghouse, watching the Moon.

    The dog is Hickson. If neither gets enough scraps, so he signs Hickson, they'll stay together in the doghouse next season.

    I don't care that he's active or not. I care that he improves the team in the long term.

    When he took over, the cupboard was pretty bare.

    LOL and yes, chill BGD and thank your gods or whatever that Olshey is not throwing out stupid contracts like we are seeing given and talked about. Sac may max out Iggy and Orleans may give Tyreke a 48 mil contract - fukkin insane IMO. Now if we can get a Lopez brother because of that and get him dirt cheap then that is the way to take advantage if this situation. We aren't going to build a winner overnight and we are quickly building our assets.

    Before Neil:

    We drafted Luke Babbitt
    We drafted Nolan Smith
    We traded Andre Miller for Ray Felton and passed on Kenneth Faried.

    With Neil we have:
    Drafted Dame

    That's enough for me right there.

    Color me not surprised. I can't remember the last time we were able to use free agency effectively. NBA players don't want to come here. We just need to keep building through the draft and trades.

    While Olshey is sitting on his hands this is happening..........The Grizzlies will re-sign Tony Allen and Jon Leuer, according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal ... Pistons trying to trade for Rudy Gay? ... Kings offering a four-year contract to Andre Iguodala? ... Rockets want both Josh Smith and Dwight Howard ... Kevin Martin to Minnesota ...

    If we needed a PF or a SG, we would be wheeling and dealing. We are just in the market for a C, probably the most difficult position to fill with a quality starter. Damn Howard is holding this entire process up.

    Dwight Howard will announce his free agency decision on Friday, according to a report citing a person close to the center.

    Howard wrapped up his free agent meetings on Tuesday with his team last season, the Los Angeles Lakers.

    Howard also met with the Houston Rockets, Atlanta Hawks, Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks.

    The Lakers were the last team that sat down with Howard.
