    Well, that person who did that also knew it was their last act. I am not telling Olshey he is going anywhere. And if Paul is then he does need to move on now. Basically, if I was Owner (and I am not obviously) then I not evaluating Olshey both good or bad until the time is appropriate. Some think that time is now. I don't. It is summer, imo.

    I was just about to say this.

    Aside from (generously giving him the credit) of picking Dame over HFB and Drummond (but then picking Meyers), and seeing the potential in CJ (but not in Freak), what gives you (not you, RR7, but the collective you) the idea that as a lame-duck he's going to find lightning in a bottle? And if you were a GM who happened to pitch yourself that you were a stud draft guru, why the actual Foyle would you trade all of your firsts? That's like prime Tiger Woods saying "I'm not using my driver, b/c my iron game is legit" or MJ saying "they can't stop me, but I'll stand in the corner and shoot 3's when Ron Harper decides to chuck me a pass every so often." Why?

    Olshey comes off as that smug rich kid in high school that you would sell twenty dollar grams to.

    His inactivity at the deadline ultimately killed us. He’s drafted well though. His FA signings have been generally awful. The contracts he gave out have been detrimental. His trades have generally been alright.

    I have no idea who’s gonna take the fall, but someone HAS to.

    I think its time we brought this back out. Olshey is garbage and needs to go especially before we fire Stotts and bring in some like Vogel then watch Olshey shit the bed again this Summer since Paul doesn't want to be in the tax and Olshey handcuffed us wasting 30 million a year on Turner and Leonard.

    When asked about making changes, Neil:

    Oh how wrong I was at the beginning of this thread. I was ignorant of the effects of the luxury tax back then, and it would've been much easier to match salary in a trade if we had better contracts. Smh.

    I wish people knew of the deals the owner and ownership group vetoes or forces to happen. Would be glorious.

    Around July 8 is when this thread will be hopping, when we see his signings. His fans will be gloating over Connaughton's new clone.

    Let's predict their excuses...

    "This isn't everything. He still has all summer to make moves."

    "Name who you would replace him with."

    "You actually did? Okay, then name the guy's new salary and belt size. Gotcha now."

    "Portland is not a desirable market for free agents. The other 20 NBA small markets are just lucky. All those previous Blazer GMs were just lucky, too."

    "Portland is not a desirable market for free agents. This explains why he's lousy at trading."

    He should of been gone 2 years ago. What’s his claim to fame here? Trading for Nurk? That’s not even a success yet in my book. Wasn’t he going after that scrub from philly first then settled for Nurk cause they threw in a pick? SO MANY HORRIBLE FA CONTRACT DECISIONS, it’s time to go.
