    You sir I’ve noticed are really defending Mr. Olshey. Specific reason, or do you have some info? Have you ever interacted with him. Honest question.

    If Olshey escapes this he’s gonna be even more brazen to the media and fans..and I didn’t think that was possible

    maybe, and maybe he's right

    but I would say he has better sources around Olshey than he does with the law firm investigating or the Vulcans. I doubt the law firm or the Vulcans are leaking anything

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Quick could be right that Olshey will be cleared but this report doesn't make any sense. Investigations that keep getting expanded are usually not a great sign for the people being investigated. Using that as a sign that everything's great for Olshey because "if there was anything there, it would have been found quickly and he'd have been fired immediately" isn't ever how I've seen these work. No investigation stops at the first firing offense just to wrap things up quickly--nearly every entity that launches an investigation wants a full and complete report to ensure they have the full story and to have an airtight case if the evidence points to firing.

    This just sounds like filler. We'll find out when the final report is issued, I guess.

    He got waived and stretched. That doesn't mean that the team is still paying him. He got paid his salary on the normal schedule as outlined by the contract and the cap hit got spread throughout more seasons than the original contract length.

    I don't put much weight in any of these reports including Quick's but I sure hope this one is right. We need to move on from Olshey. Give the new GM or more likely interim GM the power to make moves and get a piece in here in a trade for CJ that makes more sense with Dame, balances the roster and moves Powell back to his natural position.

    I know... As I said the cap hit got stretthed out. That doesn't mean the team is still sending him checks.

    ?

    All I'm saying is the team isn't actually paying him anymore.

    Yeah, but the Blazers still can't spend that money and that is on Neil

    You're arguing something no one else is but they're over the cap so they couldn't spend it anyway. But again, all I'm saying is the team isn't still paying those guys, so I don't know what your arguing or what it has to do with that.
