    You guys are saying the same thing. He was saying this is the nail in Olshey's coffin. That's the weird thing here. I think these articles will make it so the controversial hire (Chauncey) will out live the controversy. I don't think the same can be said as confidently for Olshey but the guy has fucked a lot of shit up for this team and is still here kicking. So we'll see.

    Fortunately, I am not a Mod. I'd make a new thread called "Billups Conspiracy Theory", mark it OT, and move these posts there.
    Just as a reminder, no evidence was presented that Billups was at the alleged crime scene - including the plaintiff's testimony!

    The Billups thread should be about basketball - his potential strengths and weaknesses as a coach, his effects on young players,... not this shit.

    The accuser doesn't want to be outed or bothered with this. That's not a shortcoming of the investigation. It's respecting a person's privacy.

    Plus the settlement includes an NDA, as they always do.

    Right, I get it, it's more repackaged Olshey hate. Actually, I learned this a while back. Let's put the sock on the other foot:

    Do you know your credit card numbers and expiration dates? Do you know all of your are all of your passwords?
    What? It's "proprietary"? Don't be an arrogant fuck, just tell us what they are.

    <Rando getting on a message board>
    Hey, everyone, s2 would be great if it wasn't for @blazerkor , let's crucify him.

    ----------------------
    idk, man. This feels like bs to me. Not fair to you, not fair to Neil.

    The alleged victim doesn't want to deal with this. She also signed the settlement.

    There is no evidence that Billups did anything wrong other than infidelity, and he is still married to the same woman. So even that is moot.

    At this point it's just cruel to the alleged victim to keep hashing it out.

    The people involved have been punished and the person who made the complaint is satisfied that no further punishment is needed.

    Did you read the article? Jane Doe's lawyer is not saying what you're saying. Not at all.

    i wish this would go away too, but it is kinda sad when OPB does more due diligence and background research than Olshey, though. I've been backing Neil for a while now, and hiding behind the veil of "proprietary" was something I agreed with until it came out that it was clearly a cover up. the sad thing was if he had just flat out done his homework and been transparent, there wouldn't be this kinda backlash.

    Neil said it was proprietary and that's fine. I wouldn't expect him to share the details of the investigation. Then he said that everyone would have to take his word for it, that the investigation was thorough and the OPB article from Tuesday shows that the investigation was not thorough.

    How in the fuck am I asking Neil for his passwords? I'm asking why he lied, told everyone to take his word for it and now you're defending him for some reason? The lie wasn't that the info was proprietary, the lie was that the investigation was thorough and it was compounded by him talking about how some things are bigger than basketball and then putting everything on his word. Why should anyone trust Neil's word ever again?

    This is not the tone of the alleged victim's lawyer in the OPB article. This is an assumption being made by you. Maybe the team made the same assumption during the investigation but assumptions are the opposite of thorough.

    People didn't read the article. They just saw it and assumed it was some opinionated hit piece. There's definitely a slant in the article, but there's also important information that we didn't know before. The funniest part is the Neil (or whoever was handling the investigation) didn't even contact the person who was the DA at the time who didn't decide to press charges on Billups! This is the guy that is still supporting Billups! It's clear as day there was little to no investigation done on Neil's part. He's absolutely botched the process piece of this.

    i think he rationalized it as Portland being Portland again. He prolly thought 'everyone else in the league hired Chauncey without issue, why shouldn't I?'

    What better way to sway Damian Lillard to a big market than to sow some garbage around the team and the new coach....this is how the Lakers or Knicks get away with tampering without seeming to be tampering...this was never about Chauncey or Olshey...it was about getting our franchise player to demand a trade. Fuck all that media hype...play basketball and tell them all to fuck back off to their big markets

    Hey, if you're right, you have every right to be concerned. But, I practically live on these message boards for the last month, and I have no evidence about OPB doing more than Neil. What'd they do? Did they establish that there is no proof that Billups was even at Walker's house? Because, that would be news. How do you know what Neil did? By his own admission, it was proprietary? Lots are skeptical about Neil, but he did hire someone to look into it. Is he supposed to investigate himself?

    I don't understand how interviewing people today who already said all they had to say on the record 25 years ago would have any value. At all. There is a robust record. Nobody's current recollection is going to be more valuable than what is already in the record. The only things we don't know are things that were sealed by mutual consent, and which are part of an NDA.

    My biggest issue though is dragging the accuser into the current conversation and shining a giant public spotlight on her, solely to satisfy other people's personal agenda's. The people who claim to be so outraged by unsubstantiated allegations about someone, someone who has essentially been cleared of those allegations, clearly do not give one single fuck about the wellbeing of the accuser.

    I personally care more about the accuser than I do about Chauncy Billups. The matter was resolved almost 25 years ago. There is literally nothing new to see here.

    :cheers:
