    I'm trying Jennifer to not despise Neil Olshey. But listening to this presser...

    This is the actual definition of gaslighting.

    Can you imagine being his wife?

    That's straight up mental abuse!

    Haha. He for sure tells her that she's not good enough to attract the top free agents and should stick with him...over and over and over again.

    That’s not what he said. He said EVENTUALLY he’ll grow into that physically, and compared him to Rasheed and Jermaine ONeal. Then he went to pretty much confirm he will be playing the four, at least this season.

    Terry also brought up where Zach plays will depend on who he plays with. The names he rattled off were Meyers, Moe, Chief, and Caleb. Said he can play with Nurk too.

    Yes, very much so. And even a contrarian like yourself must admit the mention of Nik Stauskas being a "ballhandler" for a team that Olshey touts as a 3seed in the West is disheartening...

    Figured there would be somebody still insisting he’s a PF. A second year player who will play the 5 once he physically develops is a 5, only playing the 4 because he’s not physically ready yet. I’m sure he will be slotted as the backup 4 this year but the sentiment is he will spend the majority of his career playing the 5 once he’s big enough.

    I'm not arguing that Stauskas being touted as a ball handler isn't disheartening, of course it is. How on Earth did you not expect to hear comments like that today though? I haven't listened yet and could give you all the "lines".
