    I’ll give Olshey that one. That was his first basketball move in years. Didn’t cost him any of his boys though. Let’s see him actually risk something.

    Yeah, a minor deal for a middling player, sending out 4 assets for the privilege. I'm talking about deals that will actually impact the direction of the team.

    I'm copyrighting "No-Deal Neil" today, and will beat the new moniker to death until he either leaves or proves me wrong.

    Oh.... the hypocrisy!

    Not saying he isn't snarky, but you're right there with him.

    No-deal implies that he doesn't/hasn't made deals. He completed a trade within the last couple of days. Your moniker has been proven wrong before you even uttered it.

    With that said, I would like to see a more substantial change in direction as well.

    You infer incorrectly. I forgive you.

    If you prefer, I can go with "Kneel-or-no-deal" Olshey; perhaps that will clarify my intent.

    “LOOK BROOKE, THE PHONES WERE QUIET.”

    I’m laughing at the idea of him using that one this year.

    Ladies, ladies....

    You’re both right.

    You’re both wrong.

    Can’t we all just get along?

    The messed up thing is nearly all of us predicted that Neil would only make non-substantial moves that don't really affect the team all the much. Salary dumps, dumpster diving etc.

    Yet we all got sucked in into hoping he does something more. Oh well.

    I'm always (W)right. Born that way. My favorite thing about my surname.

    That is sad. We all want to improve the team....and to give Dame a chance to be a contender.

    S2 Poster #1: I can't believe he never makes trades. Ever. Zero.

    S2 Poster #2: Dude. He made a trade 2 days ago.

    S2 poster #1: That one doesn't count because we didn't give up any important players.

    S2 Poster #2: *bangs head against nearest wall until it bleeds just a bit*
