Zombie Fire Olshey

Im not sure Jody has the same passion about a championship? Hope Im wrong. I do think she probably parallels the Vulcan's way of accessing business performance.

 

“Look....”

(fill in the Neil quote)

 

Fuck Neil! You can't blame Stotts for Stottsing, you blame the guy who has let him Stotts for the last nine fucking seasons. Fire Olshey, do not let him scapegoat Terry Stotts. Of course I think the next GM will fire Stotts but if that GM makes other changes to the roster and coaching staff and then explains why he thinks all of these things will make Stotts a championship winning coach... I think the new GM should be given a short time to prove if the explanation for keeping Stotts is wrong or right. Hopefully Neil's ass is out the door, swiftly followed by Terry's if they don't deliver us some WCF wins. After nine seasons if these two don't have the team trending in the right direction it is so so so far past time for them to go... but Neil first please.

If Olshey isn’t gonna fire Stotts, he better give him all the defenders he can. This thread is gonna be fun if (when) Olshey does jack shit again and hoards his precious players. Then we’ll hear all the usual excuses while the rest of the playoff teams stock up. I’m annoyed just thinking about it, but I’ll save my true anger until Thursday/after the buyout market.

 

I think Stotts offense is garbage, too much freedom, not enough ball movement/player movement and doesn’t know how to defend the pick and roll for shit.

But, players like him and play hard for him.

The fact he’s one of the most tenured coaches in the league is a joke. I’ve seen coaches in pro sports lose their job a couple years after winning championships.

Olshey needs to grow a pair. I think Olshey is a decent talent evaluator. Who is obsessed with the guys he drafts, is afraid of making big moves. He re-signs too many unproven players and is afraid of change. Not great qualities of a GM. It’s not impossible to win a championship in a small market. You gotta A.) Do well in the draft and B.) gamble on big trades to bring in needle moving type players.

Neil has to go

 

If the roster is wrong then it's Neil's fault and if Stotts is wrong for the roster it's Neil's fault. Neil has been changing aspects of the roster he has designated as the areas of need that will win us championships and he's been doing that for almost a decade unsuccessfully. If Terry has been the wrong guy for the job, Neil has been keeping the wrong guy around for almost a decade. Olshey can not be allowed to fire Terry Stotts. Olshey has to be fired first. I'm not saying that it will go down that way but it is the only ethical way for this team to make a change and if this team is trying to compete a change must be made.

 

Look, you need to understand that right now, 2 of our starters are out and one is still trying to find his rhythm coming back from an injury. When everybody gets healthy, we can make a run for the title

 

Olshey already has the title on lockdown

 

'Look, both Dame & I feel that once we get Nurk back and see the continued development of Little, Simons and Gary" we are as good as anyone in the West".

 

You can almost copy and paste what he said last year verbatim.

He's going to mention that we were very aggressive, but at the end nothing made sense.

He's going to mention the repeater tax.

He's going to mention Nurk and CJ coming back.

 

'look, we got lebron offered for simons and nas but i feel like that wasn't a fair deal add in anthony davis than we are talking

 

This deserves its own thread as it perfectly sums up the Neil Olshey purgatory era.

FIRE NEIL!

 

After tomorrow he'll deserve a pay raise and Dame will see that he gets it.

 

After he spins not making a trade? Or a shitty minor one like adding McGee for a 2nd rounder?

 

Olshey always keeps Portland in the 'news' about being aggressive....
I wonder how much of that is just a show so he can tell Dame that he tried.

 

He's like the dude who walks around carrying a clipboard because it makes it look like he's doing something.

 

Olshey - the architect of the purgatory era.

 

Olshey should have been fired 5 years ago
