    Now that we can afford the vet min at any level without hitting the luxury tax apron and we obviously aren't tanking; it's just insane that we haven't signed another big. INSANE!!! How can Olshey justify that? What the fuck is even going on? I can't wrap my head around it.

    only acceptable answer would be if he’s waiting on a particular guy to be available (Ariza?) or is planning on doing an uneven trade. But this is olshey, and history says that’s not the case, so yeah, what the fuckk?

    We can fucking hope that the reason why is that there's something big... that makes fucking sense, that's coming down the pipeline. Maybe a trade deadline deal after CJ and Nurk are healthy but I'm not holding my breath. Olshey has done a lot of inexplicable things.

    Neil this is how you build a team around a guard oriented star

    Didn't they have Gobert first? So they built around a fantastic defensive center is probably more like it.

    Olshey trades like crazy every season and people are still convinced he never makes any moves. It's so weird. Two seasons ago, he traded for Hood and signed Kanter off the buy-in market who both played a big part in getting us to WCF. Last season, he traded for Whiteside, Bazemore and then Ariza. This season he traded for Covington and Kanter. I mean, you want him to trade the whole roster every season? I don't get it. He's one of the most accomplished traders in the business.

    I'm telling you come up with two or three more of these gems and it will be the joke of the season. Maybe I'm being selfish but the idea is hilarious.

    *Marks says Ariza can’t be traded for or signed by Portland.
