Zombie Fire Olshey

What's positive is obvious. We got rid of Stotts. The comparison is that the moral/religious certitude of the anti-Whitsitt crowd was the same as that of the anti-Olshey crowd now. They are mostly the same crowd.

You notice that I've flipped on Olshey. The enemy of my enemy becomes my friend.

 

I'm pretty certain just about every poster here has noticed that you've flipped

 

Wait a minute! Olshey is one enemy but who is the other?

 

In the proverb "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" the person making the statement (@jlprk) sees Stotts as his enemy and because Olshey fired Stotts, Olshey became Stotts's enemy as well which by the proverb's logic makes Olshey and @jlprk friends. I've always found this proverb to be ludicrous because it completely ignores competing interests and assumes absolutes but that's just me I guess. I figure you can dislike two people on opposite sides of an in house rivalry because both are fucking shit at their jobs and you have a vested interest in the success of the company they work for.

 

Fun Fact:
My 21 yo son started playing 2k (2018). He decided to go into the GM mode, just so that he could Fire Stotts!

btw, apparently Caleb Swanigan was a "beast" in 2k.

 

Ah, I thought he might have an enemy right here on our board!

 

That's It! I'm done with the doom and gloom (from me). I still have the same opinion about what will probably happen (Dame traded because Neil is a snake) but from here on out I'm operating on here like the right thing will happen. We will put a package together that likely includes every draft pick possible and CJ for Simmons. We will re-sign Norm. We will trade Nurk for the best value possible, most likely our sixth man. We will sign Bobby Portis to the taxpayer MLE. DJJ will opt in (that's happening whether I like it or not but under Chauncey, I like it). We will sign Andre Drummond for the vet min. We will compete for the number one seed in the whole damn league next season and a chip with a rotation of:

Dame, Norm, Simmons, RoCo, Portis, what we get for Nurk, Ant, Nas, Drummond and DJJ

 

My enemy is the anti-Whitsitt crowd. They have found a new enemy in Olshey. Therefore, Olshey becomes my friend.

Or you choose which of the 2 enemies will become your friend. I hereby annoint Olshey as the new Whitsitt!

 

I'm glad you cleared that up; I have been stressing about it for days!

oh boy. this guy is kind of a hack but still...

 

masai ujiri is still unsigned. fwiw

 

Woke ass people in Portland would complain he got sued by that GS security guard.

 

Doubtful since Masai was the one who was claiming racism and harassment from a cop.

 

masai was correct in doing so. but back to the point, i think he's waiting around in Toronto to finish the draft, then move on. absolutely no reason for him to not have signed it already if he is planning to stay.

 

God if we actually fire Olshey and bring in Ujiri. Whooooooo boy. Kind of weird if he comes in without being able to choose his coach though.

 

he's also the guy that traded Chauncey (and Melo) to NY as his first move ever as GM in Denver. Not sure of their relationship.

But i doubt our ownership/front office would do something so competent. They'll either hope and pray the backlash on Olshey dies down, or bring in some assistant GM for cheap.

 

He's the guy who traded us Felton as well, so he really owes it to us to come here and help fix some of this mess.
