    I think it was posturing that got Denver to actually throw in the pick.

    I have stated my case that I don’t like NO, but at the same time shouldn’t we actually see what he does before we condemn what he does? He has in fact done some good things as the Blazers GM, he’s here for now and as a Blazer fan we should hope he does good things.

    No matter what Olshey does or doesn't do, people are going to be calling for his head.

    "Trading for a vet? Why?! We're not close enough to competing with the Warriors to be going all in! Olshey needs to be fired!"
    "Really, he's using the pick? Drafting another project player? Because our team isn't young and mediocre enough as it is? Olshey needs to be fired!"
    "Geez, we're going HOW FAR into the luxury tax? What, just so we can move up for another rookie from a shallow draft? Olshey needs to be fired!"
    "Well, good thing we traded Crabbe for that trade exception that he completely wasted on nothing. Olshey needs to be fired!"
    "Did he seriously just trade our best shooter and second-best player? Guess we're banking on luck again! Olshey needs to be fired!"
    "Wasting assets just to undo mistakes he made 2 years ago? Just to try to save PA some luxury tax money? Olshey needs to be fired!"    ​

    I would normally agre with you to wait and see what Neil does before reacting, but this guy has been selling his snake oil for 6 years now... every draft/trade deadline/free agency period fans thinking this is the moment and then he does nothing... Neil is a coward afraid to take a gamble because making the playoffs, even if team is mediocre and not competitive, is good enough to sell tickets to most fans and keep his job

    Fair enough, we can spin things in a lot of ways to push the anti NO agenda. I’ll say it now, I will be disappointed if the only thing we do this summer is use the MLE, and draft pick. Would kind of feel like they aren’t trying. My guess is we will see at least some trades tonight and I would like to see them involved.

    Well, I’m not going to “judge” how I feel about his moves based on the garbage he spews afterwards. I don’t trust the things he says. I don’t want to be blinded by so much by my feelings about him that I just spin whatever he does negatively just because I can...

    Clearly a bad draft day for Neil.

    Drafts a teenager, no vet help, and the vaunted $13 million trade exception set to expire.

    Your list of possible complaints about a creative Olshey trade is funny because, you see...he never trades. That's the whole complaint. He has no creativity at his job.

    For years that has been the consensus board conclusion after every draft, every FA week in early July, every mid-season trade deadline...but the rose-colored glasses guys will always stall for more time and say...

    And if he does, it's for Gary Trent Jr.
