Not sure anything's changed since February...

"It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter," Olshey told reporters, referring to Batum's pricetag. "Let us worry about the money. You guys write about the players and the team and how well or how poorly we play and how guys are developing. We'll worry about how we manage our cap and how guys get paid. Guys' values are based on what they bring to the team, and I can assure you Nicolas will absolutely live up to this contract."

08FEB2018 Ok, clownshoes. I let you worry about the money, and I worried about team development. I've now seen you pay 2 teams (removing our ability to buy draft picks and such) to take on players (and still have to have Nicholson on our cap for 2.7M a year for 6 more years) that we let you worry about with the money. You now have impacted how well or poorly the team plays and how guys are developing (on someone else's squad) because of your fuckups with how you managed the cap and how guys got paid. And you don't even have the "we didn't see this coming" excuse, b/c forum nerds were squealing about it 18 months ago. I mean, it seems to me as if guys are not developing (I'm looking at Meyers, Jake, Moe, Crabbe, maybe Biggie and Nurk) and we are playing kind of crappily (outside of Dame and CJ and Ed) and letting you "value guys for what they bring to the team." Well, dude...:

Nicholson: 2.9M/yr for 6 years, waived.
Crabbe: no longer with us, paid to receive nothing in return
Vonleh: no longer with us, paid to receive nothing in return (though at least we didn't get a "dead cap" bone job)
Meyers: How's his development going, Neil?
Swanigan: How many other teams have their 1st-rounder in the G-League on someone else's team, Neil?
Layman: How's his development going?
Patty Ice: Finally developing in Year 3, just in time to get RFA'd. What's your idea of his value this summer?
Nurk: Are we stoked about his development, Neil, or does it look like he's doing a multimillion-dollar regression in a contract year?

Wins: Chief is playing about as well as we could expect, Ed is doing what we brought him to do, Dame and CJ are Dame and CJ. Shabazz is a pleasant surprise.

tl;dr: GTFO.

tl;dr again: GTFO.
