    I really love the fact that the worst thing the nega-fans can seem to come up with this offseason is "this is a .500 team". Gives me confidence that we'll actually be several games better than that.

    Well I'll give him props for being a master of using jargon to bullshit fans\media....

    Where Pritchard was but a novice, this guy is an expert...should keep him around a year or two longer than KP I suspect....

    To illustrate (and I paraphrase here)

    Really now?

    #Blazers did reach agreement w/ Spurs C Tiago Splitter -- 4yrs, $36M. When became apparent SA would match, sides agreed not to go further.

    I wouldn't drink the Kool Aid that Olshey is pimping....

    I have no idea what your complaint is, nor what magical, straight-talking, non-Kool-Aid-pimping GM you think is out there who could have made better moves for us so far this off-season. Can you clarify?

    I didn't say anything about the moves that he made in my post....I just was commenting on how Olshey loves to use jargon speak to bullshit\pump up the moves he made.....

    Oh, and that he flat out was full of shit about the capspace comment....

    He's a car salesman, and a good one; as such I generally don't believe a word he says. I'm just glad he's working for us instead of against us.
