Why should Olshey care what we think? He doesn’t work for a bunch of message board pontificators/wannabe GMs. Sure, part of his job is presenting the team in a positive light, but that’s where it ends. His only real concern is what Paul Allen thinks.
It has always amazed me how many posters in a forum fail to grasp that concept and think they know better than Olshey. Paul George re-signed, Leonard traded to the east and now the Butler proposals will heat up as some of these posters think we are the only team in the NBA to make deals with.
Incorrect. I just don't whine and cry about every little thing. I must have really hit close to home for you to resort to name calling.
No... because players like that don’t become available if there isn’t a risk... I’d rather go big or go home than keep watching the same roster compete for 7-10 seed and lose in the playoffs. At least change keeps things interesting to watch at the very least... I know in this case CJ wouldn’t have been enough value to get Kawai, but I’d keep looking to trade him and shake things up... Jimmy Butler would be my next target... and even if he left after a year, it’s a salary dump... CJ is way over paid at 26-30 mil per year for the next 3 seasons
^ this is our forums very own Laura Inghram. Just shut up and dribble, everyone. How dare we question the great Neil Olshey
HEY GRONK. WHAT PART OF NOT WANTING TO DEAL LEONARD TO THE WEST DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND? SPURS HAD ALREADY SAID THAT AND YET HERE YOU ARE IN DENIAL. NOW ACT ON YOUR WORDS AND GO HOME AND QUIT WATCHING THE BLAZERS.
Calling someone a coward behind their back, imo as an old man thats been around, is very cowardly in itself. Must make you feel 10' tall. Yeah is wasn't taking a risk when he drafted Dame in the loot or even CJ in the first, both players from small schools! My initial thoughts on both those acquisitions were, man thats taken a risk! Grow Up son and know the world doesn't evolve around such negativity. Use that energy to help someone today or post a few positive things without so much hate.
Who freaking knows how realistic it is we could’ve got Kawhi. I don’t know where he’s at mentally, I don’t know where he’s at physically. I can understand not wanting to give up CJ for all the question marks here. Now the assertion that Neil was using Woj to say things because he thinks we’re stupid is kind of funny, unsubstantiated but funny. I never seriously thought we had a chance to get Kawhi.
im coming to terms of acceptance with what we have. its tiring to get my hopes up for something great. so, to answer your question, yes, he does.
