    I enjoyed it, as an actual Blazer fan.

    Threw another log on my already stoked fire for this off-season.

    I'll give Olshey credit for the many unexpected moves that worked out, however I recently read an article on the Edge that the Afflalo trade was a bad one. Draft pick and Barton who turned out to be a Gem for the Nuggets.

    Olshey was Asst. GM when they drafted Blake Griffin. It is beyond debate that he will use his Clipper connections and get Griffin.

    In hindsight, it was, because Afflalo got and played injured, Wes got injured, and LaMarCooch quit on the team.

    What if we were able to S&T for Parsons or Whiteside and keep enough $$$ to sign the other?

    With Bob Whitsitt "the unexpected" was players you never thought the Blazers had a shot at.
    With Olshey it seems to be players you wouldn't've touched with a bargepole.

    I would say that Parsons as first priority counts as "unexpected."

    Parsons and Gasol are unexpected, if not completely and predictably the level of players we have to settle for
