    Well, that's always true, so long as the "quality additions" are all-NBA players (like Chris Paul). And I'd love to hear how Olshey, with far fewer resources than in past years, suddenly outdoes all of his acquisitions put together.

    he admits he's wrong, but always highlights the times he's right while admitting he's wrong.

    As much as I could given that the Wizards have been consistent losers in his time there. (If Russell Westbrook is what finally drags your team to the playoffs, how good are you?)

    Wouldn't it be nice, if we're trading CJ, to get somebody who can actually play SOME defense?

    why would Dame shut anything down? The uncertainty is the only way he can put public pressure on Olshey to do his fucking job and try and build a contender. For several years now, a lot of people have been calling for Dame to put management on notice and put pressure on them to quit trotting out the status quo every season. He's finally doing that very thing and now people are wishing he'd back off

    It’s like Russell Westbrook sucks or something around here?
    The guy is one of the most dynamic athletes in the game.

    Nothing is "wrong" with it, but it's trollish.

    Dame has gone on record stating he has talked with both Jody and Neil. If anyone knows where his head is at its those two.
    When all the shit was swirling about Wilson wanting out, there were conversation and things settled down.
    Dame is the type of dude that if he decides he needs a change he would do what he could in helping the team acquire assets through a trade.
    I ask myself if I was 31 a multi millionaire and revered by local and national fans and my contract was up in three years, Id probably think about experiencing somewhere new, unless my women absolutely refused to move the fam. I like new experiences in life and have enjoyed living at times in different cities than Portland.
    Look, you got billionaires going to space for new challenges, nothing wrong with young people/professionals wanting new horizons.

    yeah sure I agree with you about defense but if you can get Bradley Beal…you get him. He’s an all nba type player ‍♂️

    how does someone write this article?

    Like Dame would welcome a move to teams worse than us in worse financial situations? Why the Knicks repeatedly keep getting brought up is baffling to me. They're perpetually worse than us and still have the shitty ownership they always did (which has always been the underlying reason for their demise).

    this KOC dude has become a hack.

    He's a great player, but on the court, he's a total tool. And very unlikable.
