    Poor Portland fans who have guys they like but then Olshey passes on which in there eyes makes him a bum -- could fans be anymore stupid.

    I got a question for all those who are really hating on Olshey right now -- What FA moves has he made since with the Blazers have turned into a disaster ?

    i cannot think of any so while you may not like who Olshey has targeted and/or signed his track record with the Blazers speaks for itself.

    More like Lillard.
    The reason to stop talking about it is that it's not happening.

    If this is the only criterion then you could get maximal success by never signing anyone.

    Only if the "young guys" include Lillard and CJ.
    Cousins may be the best center in the league, and centers are the hardest players to come by.

    Since when did Olshey decide who starts?

    Two years is nothing. I'd be okay with that.

    Rather have Boban, but have to admit that even an old Pau is probably a better defender.

    20 mil per at 36? I guess POR has to overpay higely for FA's, hope this is not true

    That is one of the few contract Portland would have been able to absorb without losing any of their RFAs if they didn't want to.

    If that is the case, who are we saying good-by to? https://www.blazersland.com/what-are-the-options-now/

    I know really. That style of argumentation is annoying, where a question is posed as though the veracity of the item in debate hinges on that answer.
    Hmm...I would think Meyers Leonard. Why would they get Gasol if they wanted Meyers to be the guy? I hope we retain Harkless and Crabbe.

    This is classic S2. Now everyone is bitching about giving Gasol too much, when you were just complaining about no one wanting to come here.

    Guess what. WE WILL NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO SIGN FA'S NEXT YEAR. Gasol makes us better the next two seasons and allows Vonleh to continue to develop without being thrown to the fire.

    Money doesn't fucking matter to us when you have Paul Allen and CJ/Dame salaries taking a jump.

    Why don't we all take a collective breath and hope Pau comes here and makes us an even more exciting team to watch? It ain't your money and we're going to be up against the LT anyways.

    Olshey is not dumb...he's proven that to us many times. Worst case we will renounce Meyers and find a way to clear up any remaining space needed to add Pau without hurting us talent wise.

    He is the best center in the league and still has never been in the playoffs. It shows you how low on the priority list centers should be for us to worry about. Never again should we ever consider a top center (Oden) over a scoring wing.

    Fuck that. I hate watching guys who can't play defense. What's so entertaining about watching a guy get pick and rolled to death?

    Our bigs don't extend on pick n rolls at all. Gasol wouldn't have to move.
