Collins is our new Vonleh, given more minutes than he deserves in order to develop him. We needed Ed Davis for at least one more year. Even if Collins actually succeeds, Davis' presence would have taught him how to play. If he doesn't succeed like Vonleh, then more than 1 year for Davis. Olshey will stay until economics says he has to trade McCollum right now. Like other GMs, he will quit because emotionally, he can't bring himself to dismantle what he has built.
What you don't understand is that Olshey has worked out that the key to him keeping his job is us overachieving. So he keeps having sucky offseasons, so we have really low expectations, so it's easy to overachieve! Hey, it's worked so far.
OK we lost Ed and we didn't get Lebron. (Which no one in their right mind thought we would get) I guess I missed what else has happened that has been so disastrous? Is it just losing Ed?
Nothing. And at least we were interested in Hezonja, which most likely means our MLE is in play. Btw Courtney Lee has evidently told people close to him he’s getting traded sooner than later. The Hezonja signing probably confirmed it. I wish there was a way to get Julius Randle though.
Other teams moved forward, and we've moved backward. That's all. All year long, status quoers say, wait till the draft. And wait till the first week in July. Then when Olshey flops, his enablers say, I don't understand what we have lost. What we've lost is: another year, because our tradeless, clueless GM does nothing all year long except for right now. This peculiar GM earns his pay now or never.
Who moved forward besides the Lakers. OKC kept PG3 which hurt the Lakers so that was good, Who did Minny get? The Jazz?Houston? Denver? Thy signed their own guys. Right? so they all got better? How are the Clips doing? SA losing their star...did they get better? A whole 24 hours have gone by. Is it over yet?
