    I've seen this type of poster over my years posting on blazer boards. Someone claims they talked to a GM and suddenly they're an expert in all things that have to do with trades.

    Pretty soon you're going to be teasing the masses with, "the little birdie told me" type shenanigans.

    Yawn.

    Just because he has not been on this board very long does not mean he has not posted anywhere. I can tell you from knowing him for years that this is what you get. If he has something, he might be able to share it. He is not going to make something up just to get attention. NBA sources come and go.

    As for grading Olshey at the deadline, it is far better to get a player at the beginning of the season than with thirty games left IMO. Let's see what we have with the players on the roster now as there are way too many projects for my liking.

    I've known TB for several years he doesn't make stuff up.

    I doubt we make any huge moves trade wise. Now if we could get an older yet effective FA to come here I would be pumped... Just think how kick ass it would be to land Pau.

    I'm just glad he didn't end up in OKC.

    Charcoal Filtered, Fez and Schilly....thanks for the back up. I'm not sure even what the big deal is. There was another long-time poster who also had some of the same opportunities. He is a Draft guru and has been amazingly accurate with his talent projections over the years.

    It was an opportunity that was great at the time that doesn't nearly exist to that extent anymore for either of us. That didn't make it less fascinating or less true.

    Because of my job, there has been an opportunity to get to know and work with some of the media and out of that sometimes comes some interesting takes or information. Sometimes it can be shared, sometimes hinted at or sometimes not mentioned at all. Their confidence is more important to me and others who have some of the same opportunities than anything someone might think of what we say or post.

    Hopefully when it can be shared, it creates a fun discussion for us all and helps to enhance the fan experience.
