    The fact that Aldridge is still Olshey's signature event, shows how few trades or signings he has done in all the years since.

    This needs to happen tonight. Someone needs to start it at the beginning of the 2nd quarter

    This thread deserves a sticky, I don't understand how he is still employed. His Mo Williams deal back with the Clippers should have black listed him. Then fails to get anything for LA, gets lucky Parsons shuns the team, overspends just to overspend.

    Take away his trade for Nurkic who they are about to vastly over pay or squander and Olshey tenure has been worse to watch than a marathon of Tyler Perry movies.

    Do you think Boston would do this trade: CJ for Danny Ainge straight up?

    Ok, clownshoes. I let you worry about the money, and I worried about team development. I've now seen you pay 2 teams (removing our ability to buy draft picks and such) to take on players (and still have to have Nicholson on our cap for 2.7M a year for 6 more years) that we let you worry about with the money. You now have impacted how well or poorly the team plays and how guys are developing (on someone else's squad) because of your fuckups with how you managed the cap and how guys got paid. And you don't even have the "we didn't see this coming" excuse, b/c forum nerds were squealing about it 18 months ago. I mean, it seems to me as if guys are not developing (I'm looking at Meyers, Jake, Moe, Crabbe, maybe Biggie and Nurk) and we are playing kind of crappily (outside of Dame and CJ and Ed) and letting you "value guys for what they bring to the team." Well, dude...:

    Nicholson: 2.9M/yr for 6 years, waived.
    Crabbe: no longer with us, paid to receive nothing in return
    Vonleh: no longer with us, paid to receive nothing in return (though at least we didn't get a "dead cap" bone job)
    Meyers: How's his development going, Neil?
    Swanigan: How many other teams have their 1st-rounder in the G-League on someone else's team, Neil?
    Layman: How's his development going?
    Patty Ice: Finally developing in Year 3, just in time to get RFA'd. What's your idea of his value this summer?
    Nurk: Are we stoked about his development, Neil, or does it look like he's doing a multimillion-dollar regression in a contract year?

    Wins: Chief is playing about as well as we could expect, Ed is doing what we brought him to do, Dame and CJ are Dame and CJ. Shabazz is a pleasant surprise.

    tl;dr: GTFO.

    Fire him, AFTER the draft. I still like him, over a new guy, in that limited capacity.

    Last time we did something like that, we ended up with Luke Babbitt, Elliot Williams and Armon Johnson as the Fuck You parting gift. No thanks. If you're moving on, dump his ass now, not with him knowing he's about to get canned, and fucks us.
