I'm excited to see what Billups does. I believe Olshey says this is the deepest roster he's put together in Portland, so I'm guessing his...
I'm not Olshey's #1 fan, but blowing it up doesn't make sense. The odds of rebuilding and finding a top 10 player isn't great, then require that it's...
C+ seems fair. We needed a B+, A- off-season at minimum.
100%... His role also appears to be dictated by his availability. You're not going to base your offense around a guy who's not someone you count on....
I don't agree, but I guess time will tell. If the pattern holds, he'll have a great year next year. We'll see how things go in years 3-4 under...
Hopefully Billups can do what Malone and Stotts could not...make Nurk a consistent all-star level player.
Excited to see Nurk be more mentally locked in, similar to the way he felt Malone was holding him back when he first came to Portland. The bigger...
You very well could be right. None of us know what happens behind the scenes and we know PA was more than a check writer when it came to owning this...
Your point is well made and ff your stance is that the players are far more important than the coach, then we're talking about a different scenario....
I don't know if Stotts was going to get canned after the Pels series, but ultimately it was Olshey/PA's choice not to, correct? If you've read my...
You're correct that I heard this after the deadline. However, the odds that LMA made the choice, told my guy, and my guy called me right away to tell...
The beauty of a message board is that not only can anyone jump into a conversation, but that's exactly what this medium is designed for. While I...
This is a great point. In defense of Olshey (I will do this at times), he probably would've taken crap for trading LMA for a lesser player. I'm not...
My response was going to be very similar to Wiz's. Poor Olshey hasn't had a real chance in 9 years to acquire enough capital to obtain a legit...
I certainly don't want you to waste your time, productive is key! Again, I'm sorry this upset you, that was not my intention.
Incredibly well put. I've never understood how someone could claim coaching is such a critical issue, that Stotts sucked, yet are willing to excuse...
100%... Talent have proven time and time again to make coaches look good/bad very quickly.
As I've stated before, I have zero issues with you personally. I take you at your word that you gave Stotts a chance, but you must admit you...
Well put... The hope that this team, with a top 5 of all vets, will make the same jump as that Warriors team who's core was significantly younger is...
Agreed... If Nurk could raise his game to an all-star level and become our 2nd best player, that would change the trajectory of this team....
