    My (speculative) belief is that Olshey is not afraid to make big moves; his problem is that he wants to make another deal like the Chris Paul deal, where he didn't really give up that much to get a great player. He doesn't seem to offer quite enough. Let's hope he doesn't overcompensate some time in the future.

    Wouldn’t that qualify as being scared to make a big move?

    Would you give up Nurk CJ and Collins or Simmons for AD?

    Well, it could be; he could fear that it would look like he overpaid. I think he is very sensitive to what people think about him, one reason he gets very defensive sometimes in pressers.[/QUOTE]

    Nah. Because if he walks we’d have nothing. But I’d offer up CJ. I don’t think Olshey would.

    Contrary to the thoughts of people here, Olshey is a professional. That means he would never let it be known he was making CJ available. So,
    posters will insist he's gutless, but the truth is we'll never know.

    Look at the shitshow that is the unprofessionalism of the Lakers. Everyone on the team feels betrayed.

    lol.

    We're Portland. We're not getting AD. I love the city of Portland so much, but we do not get people like AD unless we draft them.

    We're not getting AD.

    I'd give up CJ for AD. Also multiple first round draft picks and we eat a worse contract.

    I wouldn't give up Nurk, Collins, or Simon's in addition to the above. We love both young guys but they don't hold the value to other teams as they do to us. It's critical we have some youth and low priced contracts along with our stars. CJ is better than any player the Lakers or Boston is offering so I think we may be able to get that deal done without including those.

    If you get AD you go all in for this season so i don't see the point of Zach or Simons being dealbreakers. Nurkic is another story and cannot be compared to Zach and Simons. But if AD committed for more years then I would take Nurk to the airport myself lol . If yoi have AD and Dame locked surely more will come and for cheap.
