    He said the money in the proposed deal(s) was “astronomical.” Doubt it was Mirotic. Blake makes the most sense.

    He said the players involved were never traded elsewhere so it doesn't sound like Mirotic since he was traded.

    Seriously, how does this man keep his job? He pretty much threw Paul Allen under the bus by saying saying he grew an attachment to certain players and wouldn't include them into deals. I call BS. He just couldn't get the deals done just like this year.

    Yea that would be my guess. Basically 2 unwanted salaries and Aminu and a 1st for Blake's astronomical salary.
    I don't doubt he offered something like that

    Neil is legit the guy who walks around with a clip board to look like he's doing something important.

    Neil Olshey the type of guy to think a deal has a 50% chance of going down even if the other team hasn't returned his calls in a week.

    Maybe by 50% he meant the odds of them returning his call.

    You mean like that phone photo OP the other day at their practice. Oh look guys Neil must be working trades, wow he has such a huge dick, what a winner. The guy is full of himself and a liar. LA acting reject. We just couldn’t get mirotic? You fucking kidding me?!?!

    Summer of 2016 really fucked us and that was all Neil. All his shit contracts handed out. Crabbe walked away for nothing, same with vonleh, Ed Davis. It’s fucking insane to me how many teams look to position themselves or have gotten better. We are still a first round exit. It’s a joke.

    I think our team is looking pretty good. Love that our front office values continuity and chemistry and doesn't make moves just to make moves. :angel:

    and no PA doesn't stand for Paul Allen

    Agreed that summer 2016 screwed us, but that was an absolute historic summer in the NBA because of the TV $$$. We haven't had a summer like that before, or since.

    As for the liar comment, by all means, back that up. Neil is "slick", no doubt. People like that don't out and out lie.

    So basically, Jody gave him the green light on everything and he STILL couldn't close a deal.
