    I've posted before that I wouldn't put it past Olshey to move Dame just so he doesn't have to deal with someone that is pushing him to build a contender.

    And somehow we will still have people defending neil any which way we go.

    Watch out what you say though. He might want to fight you in the streets if you slander his name.

    I'm convinced he'd much rather trade Dame than CJ. In fact, I'd be floored if Olshey ever traded CJ

    That theory only works if you ignore LMA's cooperative challenges throughout his career.

    Melo was out of the league before he became willing to come off the bench, and Nurk was only sulking as a bench player. Nice try.

    People change all of the time, others help them change. You might think that's naive but it's the truth... and I don't even know how much changing Simmons would need to do. He's never come off as entitled in any interviews I've seen. So I think this is a moot point. People are putting words in the guy's mouth. The guy obviously needs encouragement and I think he'd get a lot more of that from Dame and Chauncey than he is from Embiid and Doc.

    Cmon Neil, do some tampering. I bet Jody will pay for the fines just as long we get that player to help Dame.

    I always thought Powell was a willing passer with us.

    too bad Olshey couldn't talk San Antonio into doing a S&T for Zach. Spurs are about 40M away from the apron so being hard-capped wouldn't be an issue

    Blazers could have traded Zach, cash and a future 2nd for a Spurs future 2nd protected 1-59.

    That would have given Portland a 7M TPE which could come in handy. That's what happened when Minny signed Layman. I wonder if Olshey tried but either Zach or the Spurs weren't buying?

    Do we even have a second to trade anymore?

    it's a little bit of a challenge to recall what trades these obligations came from. The two picks to Sacramento were from the Ariza trade. The New Orleans was when the Blazers bought the 43rd pick they used on Brown

    I can't recall what trade it was that sent the pick to Boston or had the one incumming 2nd that's worth next to nothing
