    There is no endgame where he keeps his job after some of these leaks. I think that much is clear. If he had a chance of return, we'd have seen people come to his defense publicly. Hell even Woj woulda said something by now. Think his firing is inevitable. I just hope they don't drag this along too much.

    NeO story: Sellwood Starbucks one early weekday morning. Said hey Neil, looks up from his BlackBerry (years ago), think its really cool you brought in Maccabi Haifa for a game. Gives a half smile like why the F are you talking to me. I'm out.

    I'm both surprised and not surprised that Neil hasn't gotten ahead of this and resigned.

    That really surprises me. I’m not doubting you at all, but just surprised.

    Thought maybe he lived in Waverly. Could have just surprised him?

    Lives in LO since day 1, who knows why he was over there. Again not doubting, just the kind of guy who actually doesn’t mind chopping it up with people.

    that's what I've been watching...to see if any people who have dealt with Olshey will come out to defend him. So far it looks like he has no character witnesses on his side. Probably early, but still....

    how long is the remaining balance of his contract? He might be giving up 10 million by re-signing

    Sterling's douche-baggery wasn't limited to race.

    Heard from one of my sources that Neil pushed an old woman down a flight of stairs at Moda center trying to sign Chandler Parsons.

    I was trying to give some credit to Oshley for building a team over the years but after watching the clippers game Im pissed. Fire him right away Dame and CJ isn't winning anything. This roster is constructed poorly.

    it’s what he hasn’t done. Like trade CJ. Draft pretty bad overall. Overpay his bad draft picks.

    I am mainly talking about this Dickau part. There is a good chance what Dickau did behind Neil's back did piss him off, and he fired back at Dickau in a anger tone. That's normal, I didn't see one person mention that Dickau might actually had every right to get chewed out by Neil. And also it was reply to some saying, that the Dickau story was brutal and yada yada. It wasn't that bad at all.
