    To be honest, that's probably his idea of being proactive. Olshey has always acted as if everybody around him exists in a world of his own standards. So if somebody was upset he hasn't done enough to improve the team, he would just like that is a stupid question to begin with. Probably why reporters don't even bother to go there anymore.

    You be his trainer then, and get a face full of red pubes.

    No, he's GOING to get injured during that contract that has 3 and a half years left on it. If you think he's not going to get injured during that time.... Well you'd be wrong.

    We would either get AD to extend after this season or move him at the trade deadline in a year for a deal that makes sense. I would trade CJ, Nurk and whoever else to get the chance to build around AD and Dame.

    Yeah, why would fans want the team to actually improve and have better players?

    The concerns about his injury history are understandable. As for him being a "piece of shit", I'll tell you the same thing I told people during the "Jailblazer" hysteria. If you want a friend, go to the shelter and adopt a dog.

    I guess it’s like any job, why pump up expectations or work harder for the same pay when you can just keep floating through cashing checks. If Neil goes big and it doesn’t work maybe those checks stop coming.

    Having a sackless gm kinda sucks sometimes, especially around playoff time, but honestly if zero playoff or championship expectations are placed on him why should he “go for it”?

    I am under no illusion that AD would re-sign here if we weren't able to build around him and Dame. And we wouldn't be able to. He'd walk and we'd be left with a disgruntled Dame.

    You keep dame and Nurk or no deal.

    Still holding out hope for another move since his job is probably on the line if Portland doesn’t get out of the first round. But I’m not expecting anything. At least Hoods debut and a joint will distract me from my raaaaage.

    Fucking adding Rodney Hood cost us two second round draft picks?! What dumpster diving is going to significantly improve us? That's if a worse team is diluted enough to think they can make the playoffs doesn't grab them first. We are in the same fucking place as we were last year, maybe even worse off.

    I'd have punched Griffin in his balls on national TV and gotten fired because I woulda injured him for the season.

    His balls woulda been spaghetti... Fuck that...
