    Olshey is taking Lillards loyalty for granted.

    We know Lillard has been frustrated before bc of lack of moves, and olshey wants to sit on his hands. Maybe Lillard will finally get tired of playing with starting PF like Aminu and Vonleh.

    Especially after Dame's video interview earlier this week when he was almost giddy with excitement about something that was going to happen...

    Was that before Tuesday's game? Maybe he found out that nothing was going to happen & put him into the funk for Tuesday nights game

    Might I suggest we not put the Warriors and the Blazers in the same discussion.

    They also made some fairly significant changes after that occured. Jackson out Kerr in...

    Portland still has the same old gang.

    With 3 expirings next year its Neil’s final chance, if he doesn’t make a MAJOR upgrade than he goes down there with John Nash imo.

    This is beyond even a bad Twilight Zone episode. We are getting into The Outer Limits territory.

    How many years now has he said he is trying to get an impact player and failed? We can't even get a medium impact player like Mirotic, Porter or Saric.
    This was probably Portland: "Washington had one Otto Porter Jr. deal on the table that would have brought back a low first-rounder, but only if it took on money extending beyond this season, sources say." Couldn't do it because he didn't stagger his signings and had not enough expirings. Maybe he should have offered two first rounders? Or is he saving those for his next "impact player" search?

    yes and has been proven by history that if you lose in the first round one year you will always lose in the first round after that right?

    I once went on a booze filled jaunt and watched two seasons of the Twilight Zone in two days. At some point I didn't know if Rod Serling was talking too me or about me. It was weird man. For a couple of days after that I was afraid to look out a car window and see Wllliam Shatner singing without his hair piece.

    That reminds me of a prank my buddy and I pulled on a couple of chicks. We picked them up to go see "Night of the living dead" at the Oregon City drive in and before we got to the gals house we put a buddy of ours in the trunk of my 58 Chevy Impala we arrived after the movie started purposely. Well, about 10 minutes in the chicks already a bit freak out (panama red) our buddy starts pushing his way from the trunk to the back seat and the gal in the back kick him in the face and broke his nose. I laughed so hard I blew chips!
    Man, those were the days! Id do that again if I could!

    Aren't they both NBA teams and play in the same conference? Of course they can be in the same discussion.
