    I'm not saying anything about it mattering with roster construction or if it's moot or whatever... All I'm saying is the team isn't paying them anymore, that's IT. FFS.

    Fun (if pointless) game: come up with the best Blazers starting 5 that we COULD have had if
    (a) we'd taken the player who later turned out to be great instead of the Meyers Leonards/Zach Collins of this world, but
    (b) this somehow kept all our draft picks happening in exactly the same place anyway.

    My suggestion:
    PG: Dame (congratulations whomever picked him - we will never settle this)
    SG: Jalen Brunson (instead of Anfernee - this is the weak link)
    F: Giannis (instead of CJ)
    F: Draymond (instead of Meyers)
    C: Bam Adebayo (instead of Zach)

    Some great players, I'm not sure about the shooting though.

    Maybe Olshey can claim self defense.

    just about endless combinations (especially if Portland could delete the Afflalo trade)

    * Dame-Donovan Mitchell-Khris Middleton-Siakam-Giannis ....if you're worried about shooting(they'd still have Nurk to go big in all these fantasies)

    * Dame-Middleton-Siakam-Giannis-Adebayo

    * Dame-Middleton-OG Anunoby-John Collins-Giannis

    main thing is Dame + Giannis = dynasty

    This all stems from Julius's post that you replied too. He was getting at the fact there is still dead money on the books among other screw ups of Neil.

    He said we are still paying ex players. You contended we we weren't. What he meant was there was still dead money on the cap all these years later.

    That's what I was saying. I believe that was what OB was saying.

    practically speaking....Portland was never paying for Nicholson. They paid about 38M dollars for 1 year of Allen Crabbe

    Ok, but the point is for the past 6-7 seasons there has been dead money on the Blazers Salary. It will be there for two more seasons

    Olshey can only claim self defense if there’s irrefutable drone footage of all his interactions with employees :devilwink:

    The TWolves fired that guy for having sex with another consenting adult. Olshey is a dick to his co-workers, and it seems that's OK. The older I get, the less I understand people.

    this conversation is the definition of pedantic. there's nitpicking useless facts that dismiss the point altogether.. and there's this convo.

    Good Lord.

    The NBA obviously doesn't support consensual sexual acts.

    The longer this goes, the more likely that Neil survives this

    Who’s going to search for the new GM? Who even makes those decisions within the organization? Bert Kolde?

    Maybe he can get his valet to 'testify' for him.
