    Firing him now is as much of an indictment on the organization as it is on Olshey, it's not gonna happen.....for now.

    Olshey better pull out a stellar off-season in terms of roster construction. This is stupid, but a blockbuster trade would actually take some of the heat off him.

    In that last sentence you are right on both points... it's fucking ridiculous that Neil has been exposed and it looks like he could totally escape the heat if he'll just make some legit moves for once.

    So far, I've really liked his basketball-related moves:
    Billups is a great hire, IMHO
    For zero cost, getting Michael Beasley to play summer league - a good move.
    Not giving qualifying offer to Zach - the right move.

    The last 2 aren't earth shattering, but it shows that he's on the right track.

    I believe they are counting on both Neil and Chauncey to lead the way.

    Not giving the QO to Zach was a totally un-Olshey move, even if it was for sure the right one.

    Now it's confirmed we came out of the 2017 draft with nothing to show for it.

    Well since he's going to make it a decade I just hope he finally grows a spine and puts the pieces around Dame that will bring the success that will keep Dame here.

    Not sure of the point of the 2nd sentence. Injuries happen. What did Sac come out of it with?

    With three picks and a loaded draft, you would expect to have at least one player still on the roster.

    Also being compared to Sacramento is just adding insult to injury. Please, I'm already depressed about this off-season.

    Yep, I still don't fault Olshey for missing with picks. The only move in the draft that I ever saw and thought... oh now that should get someone fired was

    Now the Blazers had to fire the group that did the investigation in to Billups because the main guy at the firm was posting cuckold video?

    You can't make this stuff up.

    Saw that too, LOL. Too funny, apparently they’ve used this group for over 11 years! 11 years!

    This debacle is 100% on Neil.

    His indifference to mediocrity is what Dame was alluding to in that Haynes piece.

    I detest Olshey and have wanted his oily ass fired for 6 years

    he has driven the Blazers into a deep ditch with his ego-driven mismanagement. BUT, at this point you can't really condemn Olshey without also condemning ownership. Seattle has give a green light to Olshey's fuckups for years now....and are still doing so.

    Dame stating the obvious that this roster needs an upgrade of talent - no more tinkering with marginal upgrades.

    Neil and Bert are in charge of roster construction…

    We’re über fucked with the clown show that is the Olshey administration :banghead2:

    When Dame, the most loyal and blindly optimistic teammate has came to the conclusion the roster isn't good enough before the GM, we're at a total loss.
