    Even if Billups is the right guy, this handling of the news dump and coaching hire in general has me irritated. Masai is sitting right there still. Come on, Jody.

    I know it's awkward to hire a coach before a GM, but suck it up and do it.

    Neil is putting all the blame on Lillard.

    Leaking this info is an odd way to ease this PR nightmare created by Neil and Bert.

    what if Olshey doesn't want the damage to stop because his real goal is to force Dame into demanding a trade?

    I look at what has happened since the denver series, the things Olshey said in the press conference, and the way Olshey has not so subtly tried to cover his own ass by deflecting blame from himself onto Dame; and the only scenario that makes sense is if Olshey wants to trade Dame

    the damage and fallout from the loss to Denver just keeps growing, and the damge will keep growing every day that Olshey is in charge. This fucking mess is on Seattle now, because it's completely obvious that Olshey should have had his snake-oil ass fired before Stotts

    Masai would decline us even if you offered him record money.

    Why would anyone want to go on his show? Why would you want to give Crapzano that kind of publicity?

    I'm a little confused. We got the coach we wanted so let's fire Olshey or the team is going nowhere?

    Don't buy it. The national media thought we were the most improved team in the off-season. He's got his flaws but I expect big things from Neil this summer. He's one of the better GMs in the league as cited by votes from other front offices.

    He deserves a lot of blame but he's also really good at adding talent to our roster.

    He better be ready to finally split up Dame and CJ and he better not let Norm walk without anything to show for it.

    The guy has got one total vote for executive of the year in the last two years.

    He got the coach he wanted last time as well.

    You're more than just a little confused...

    You're delusional to think that Neil is 'one of the better' GM in the league. In no way is he in the top 10.

    Having said that, he does make a good move on occasion... I'd put the Billups hire as one of those good moves

    Billups might be great, but hiring an unproven coach with 1 year assistant coaching experience should not be on the Top 10 list of best moves a GM has made over the last 9 years.
