6 hours, can't sleep due to the suspense. I phoned and said I'm the "As the World Turns" casting agent. Olshey woke right up! He has vocal talent. When he's excited, he talks in a Bugs Bunny voice! I had to calm him down.
How often does Roy show any love for Portland? Very few players actually give a wet fart about their fans, communities, or anybody else. Clyde is just more open about it than most.
I'll just read a recap. It will be Neil talking about how tough the market is, but that we have maintained flexibility going forward. He'll mansplain his moves to the whimpy media. Announce the moves that have already been made, mention that we will be active at the deadline. And etc.
I will have to miss it. It would be awesome if someone is able ot post i up here when it is done so some of us can watch it in full later.
Hmm, I have no recollection of that what so ever. I do remember a lot of positive as well as some negative on the guy, but all in all, he was a true gent. When he was traded, it was more of a "Thank you" for his time with the team. We made sure he could go to where he wanted, rather than ship him to some shit hole team.
This is why I’ve never been a diehard Drexler fan. The man had no heart. It was always about Clyde, not the team. At least Lillard is a leader from the get go. Drexler was constantly whining about his contract. Blazer management tore up his contract at least twice (that I remember) and he was “grateful” for a year or two before he started sulking again. And even after all that, Paul Allen traded him to his hometown (and his college homie) so he could ride the coat tails of the defending champions and get a ring. And he still shits on us. I’ve heard it argued here that the Pistons and Bulls beat us in the finals because they had more talent. I call bullshit on that. Those teams had strong leaders with heart (regardless of how many of them were true assholes). Thomas, Dumars, Jordan et al knew that if they got into Drexler’s head, the rest of the Blazers would follow. and that’s what happened. Can you imagine Dame allowing that to happen on a real talent laden team? Drexler had mad skills but to place him in the pantheon of all time greats is ludicrous. He’s a hollow man......
It’s just a press conference to introduce curry imo. Maybe to announce Trent as well. Doubt Neil will even take questions. Or maybe it’s about Nurks extension.
