    Yikes — how NBA heads view Neil’s Blazers:



    Common to see “title contenders or just another Portland” on Twitter/forums.

    I liked that he tried to balance the starting five this offseason but it again proved Neil’s ultra conservatism by going after marginal upgrades rather than swinging for the fences to land Dame a third opinion (Nurk is hurt too much for this designation IMO)

    go!

    It's crazy t o see how other teams will make moves and try to build around their stars..... and we just keep running it back every year with the same core.

    I really not confident enough Olshey to build a team that can contain for a championship.

    So, you’re saying the folks around here who every year call for the heads of Stotts and Olshey, but never get any results are...?

    Sam Hinkie is my favorite potential replacement.

    A realist who has the spine to tear down a roster rather than sustaining a treadmill team.

    Yep...and his record there was:
    35/31
    34/48
    19/63
    18/64
    10/72
    28/54

    His drafts picks have not been all that great either.....
    During his time there Philly's fans were livid and didnt like the idea of tanking, for so many years.

    That franchise was a mess under him. Just my opinion

    Hinkie sucks, and besides that he’s said he’s not coming back to basketball.

    Lol at anyone thinking that his place would be ok with a process like Hinkies Sixers. They got killed for like five years.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Hinkie tanked his franchise for years, producing unwatchable basketball and didn't come out of it with some super juggernaut. Maybe they'll contend this year, after the better part of a decade. Maybe not. I don't think his results have come anywhere close to justifying the awful teams.

    We should upgrade the GM position with the best recruiter in the world of proven high caliber NBA players.

    No one has got more NBA all-stars to play with them than the Kardashians.

    Olshey is the head of the snake, if the snake's name is mediocrity. Olshey is the one who attaches himself to players like they're his children, he's the one who has given an unprecedented tenure to a coach with a mediocre record and he's the guy who knows more about spinning/selling things than he knows about the game. An actor, turned agent, turned GM, turned snake oil salesman, turned water treader.

    This.

    I have no clue how anyone could be so anti-Stotts but marginally critical of Olshey. Olshey hired Stotts, extended Stotts, and has not fired Stotts.

    Olshey is your girlfriend who cheated on you, Stotts is just the guy your girlfriend cheated on you with. Place the anger towards the appropriate person!
