    When I said "freak out," I meant "worry." Why are you worrying? The NBA Finals MVP couldn't make his freethrows last year. Don't worry.

    Some people in the media or who like to think of themselves as is in the media.

    We'll have all this cap space next year, but I look at the list of free agents that we could realistically attract, and I'm not really seeing anyone I want on this team. Maybe Al Horford, but would he come to Portland, would Atlanta let him go?

    Maybe just push it to the next summer? Let the guys develop? I still think we're going to have to make a trade at some point. We have a serious logjam of young talent.

    Yeah, I definitely thought this offseason, given what we had to deal with with Tex, was a total win. Sweet sweet lemonade.

    I don't think we have a log jam. Dame, CJ, Aminu, Harkless, Plumlee, and Davis are talent. Might add Henderson and Alexander to that when they get healthy, but that's only 8 guys. Crabbe, Leonard, and Vonleh haven't really shown that they deserve minutes.

    I think he felt like he had to at least offer a contract to LA else we'd crucify him for letting our best player leave without even a contract offer. But I don't think he was calling LA every five seconds asking if he's going to sign with us.

    How much of that do you think was Paul telling him to try to keep it going though?

    Most NBA awards are storyline driven. Unless the Blazers are a top 2 seed, the onus will always be "The Blazers lost 4/5 of their starting lineup, including a perennial all-star, for almost nothing". Olshey ain't winning it.
