Just to be clear, my harsh opinion of Olshey isn't based on any one incident. Over the course of the last 9 years there has been a string of...
Phooey. I always miss the really good stuff!
He is so slimey you could pin him between 2 sheet of extra-coarse sandpaper and he could slip right out without leaving any hide behind! I would love...
Meh. I once had high hopes for Nurk - but at this point I am ready to move on.
CJ+2 young players+2 FRPs+ a pick swap seems an awfully high price for Beal.

What the hell do you call his meltdown over some fairly minor (and 100% accurate) criticism? You can't possibly see the way he is handling this as...
I'm not going to argue the exact percentages, but it is no where near "exclusive". If Doc's rather mild criticisms caused a meltdown, why would you...
I understand the point you are trying to make, but in the Simmons case you are conflating on-court and off court concerns. I'm sure I am not the only...
This may sound horribly cynical, but there is no doubt in my mind that Olshey wanted a rookie head coach because it gave him a built in excuse to sit...
Many fans still cling to the quaint notion that players have loyalty to their coaches, team-mates, and fans. Such players are exceedingly rare. And...
Glad to see some folks get it.
Remember this: a major trade now is an acknowledgement that the roster WAS the problem. That is directly contrary to Olshey's established position....
In the abstract, sure. If CJ was the third or fourth best player on the team and paid accordingly. The fundamental problem with the currrent roster...
