One thing I buy, is that Neil and LMA are on the same page. http://forwardcenter.net/blazers-prepare-for-next-season-with-48-really-good-hours/ And where is that? IMO, Neil has to keep the Blazers competitive to keep LMA. Extremely tough to do, but at the same time every other team that's a possible destination is facing the same battle.
I think I am more inclined to believe Neil. Odd thing, go to any of the rumor sites, or any of the supposed "Sports news" sites, and almost every rumor that LMA is heading out of tome has been credited to the oregonian hacks and clownzano..
but aren't you defending the factual errors of 2 of the most prominent sources of blazer info? who's lies do you prefer?
actually the most recent one being quoted by national media came from gunderson over at the Columbian and his "western conference executive", Haynes was the problem reporting Chicago as LA's preference to be traded to last summer
What good is the Oregonian though? They don't break news. They don't provide objective news. They're a tabloid. I hope they wither and die.
I don't. I want a diversity of opinions and information. I'm not saying that what we get from them currently is great of even good, but I certainly don't want to be left with nothing but canned PR released as "news" or having to rely on ESPN to get any kind of second opinion.
There are a number of other outlets. It's not like the Oregonian is the only game in town. There's radio, TV, the internet, and other print like the Columbian and the Tribute.
Like I said, I want a diversity of opinions and sources. If the 'Big O' goes away, that's just one less option (even if it is a poor one).
Hahaha! Not sure how many ppl got this 1 Since "some1 else" made their "transition..." let's just say I like calling them Bruce Gender from now on
I couldn't hear the LA question at the start of the presser last night. Listening now, that doesn't sound like something Olshey would make up. He was very straight and to the point. There were a lot of other ways he could have answered it if he knew otherwise without outright lying.
