    The dude drafted CJ at #10 and got Nurkic and 1st for Plumlee. Of course people want some of his magic on their team.

    That begs the question...

    Does the ATL have valet parking?

    If not, it's a non-starter.

    If Atlanta agrees to take Meyers, Crabbe and Turner I would agree to it.

    I hope our stupid Portland media (quick and clownzano) don't run NO out of town. We need a creative GM like NO in Portland who has connections around the league. We can't sign stars so we need to get creative with trades and the draft. So far NO has done an outstanding job.

    Quick and Olshey seem to like each other.

    Think you were more correct as you originally had it.

    Being an NBA GM is like being a baseball player. Batting .300 is Stellar, especially if you knock a few out the park.

    Atlanta like the re-signing of Biebs, and paying Crabbe and Turner that much money? Okay....take those players and you can have Olshey and his LA bumper sticker.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It doesn't make sense for Portland to let Olshey go unless they have someone better lined up. I don't think Olshey is a great GM--he's probably about average. Another average GM wouldn't be worth the disruption, so unless the team can secure the services of someone well above average, they should be denying permission to talk to him.
