    Seriously, what's left?

    Are we at the point where it's kinda like when I was a kid and had a dime in my pocket, wanted to buy something in the worst way, but knew it wouldn't buy squat, so just came home with it and threw it in my change jar?

    I have a feeling some sort of curve ball will take place. I'm still certain Matthews will be gone before the season starts

    Interesting.

    Olshey has yet to make a bold trade move. Not that he can't/won't.

    Hmm...what big trades did he engineer while with the Clip show? He got Paul, correct?

    I don't think so Mags, team looks set up fairly well, if Wes or LMA goes I think it's more likely at the trade deadline

    I think he needed to get the asset/talent gathering stage to a much more advanced state before he can move on the that "bold move", I like what I see so far. IMO some teams with no realistic playoff hopes have made really stupid moves with players and their contracts, I like Olshey's plan and execution so far

    What are the chances of Hickson being sign/traded vs. leaving outright?

    I think moving LA is still on the agenda.

    Tone and Wheels apparently feel the same way.

    Man, you guys never give up. Any idea as to what you'd want in return?

    No, Olshey is not done 'shopping'. Whether he makes a move this summer or near the deadline remains to be seen. But my bunion is certain he's still considering moves.
