    I haven't listened, but I assume this means he just turned and mooned the crowd?

    I just finished listening to it. Olshey handled that Quick question like he'd been waxing Mr. Myagi's cars!

    Olshey doesn't bitch slap other GMs.

    He uses lotion.

    When LA re-signs it'll be ok... (Trying to speak that into existence) Do you want a hug bro? I feel you... Shit's changing pretty fast around here. I know you're hating these moves but let's let Neil do his job. He sounded pretty confident... Don't forget what else July 1st is in PDX Besides FA day. If he leaves I'll find you and we'll smoke one and say Fuck em'! :smiley-beerchug:

    Seriously, it's like walking up to an artist while he's just started sculpting and telling him you don't see what he's making.

    One of the best, most entertaining threads of the year.

    That Quick Slap was priceless.

    Mods: can you add "GAME THREAD" to the title of the
    It's probably the best game thread we've had in a while.

    I just don't get why these Portland writers think they're bullet proof in terms of their ability to get the story while bagging on the GM - burning bridges through social media. I'm no lemming, but I thought Olshey did a great job of telling it like it is last night. You want someone who can handle the pressure when it's cookin'. In Olshey I Trust!

    I’ll judge Neil Olshey on his roster not his demeanor. The guy is an actor.

    Just listening to this now. Relatively entertaining. Seems like NO gave no fucks. I guess it is a good attitude to have. You can't put your eggs all in one basket. If one opportunity goes away, go with Plan B, Plan C, etc.

    It would work out better for us if we did a "please stay forever Canzano and Quick!" Rally, given ou track record with rallies.

    I'll never understand why a team like the Blazers put up with the bullshit from a paper like the Oregonian.

    The Blazers hold all the cards.

    What can the Oregonian do? I mean, really, what can they do? Trash the team? They already do that. The paper is dying. They already had to downsize. They have no clout. They have no power. I would pull their credentials. Bar them from the arena. I would forbid the players from talking to them. What are they going to do? Watch them shrivel up and die. Or I guess they could always give them Sly's spot up in the rafters with zero locker room access. I'm willing to bet he'd love the company :devilwink:

    I get that Quick and Canzano are hack-frauds, but rooting for any outlet of information to die inevitably leads to canned PR being foisted on to people without a critical eye.

    The number of people in this thread crowing about Olshey being able to sell ice-cream to Eskimos don't seem to grasp that ultimately we're the Eskimos in this scenario.
