Free Agent Hi, I'm the Realist! Here are some of my takes on the team

There's your tried and true response.

 

Hmmm... speaking of "ass-toot..."

Your ASSumption is just because they are young (& new to our team) they won't play hard or try to play the right way? That's just plain stupid (I would have said you're using specious reasoning but... what you said is just flat out not even close & dumb). We're not going to win a ton & these guys will make mistakes but I think these guys are going to @ least play w/ pride & play as hard as they can.

If you rip on our guys w/o even giving them a chance... expect to be met w/ some hostility. IF they royally fuck up w/ the same stupid shit/mistakes repeatedly... THEN you can grab a pitchfork & I won't say a thing.

 

What would you have Olshey done instead?

 

Yes it was. I am surprised to see you can ask if any team would trade for Lillard. According to this forum, the dude is a Star. But I can see the validity of your concern, they might view him as I do.

For those that got their shorts quickly in a knot over my saying the young guys ought to at least try to play basketball. Let me clear that up, I do not think they are or will be at fault if that does not happen. But unfortunately, I see them spending a lot of time watching the Star go for the big game and that isn't going to get them playing much basketball.That is why I would trade Lillard, get a PG that gets the most out of the team, and they might do better than some think.

 

I don't know what to say to your post.

 

You won't get an answer from him; he didn't respond when I asked him the same question TWICE ~month or so ago when he was bashing our team/guys then.

 

He should have known Lamarcus was going to leave, He should have know why Lamarcus was going to leave. Managers that are blindsided have not been doing there job.
Why was Lillard jacking up threes and missing them the last half the season, Why did he do it all through the one series in the playoff only hitting .116. Wtf was the man
in charge doing letting this go down? Why didn't Damian ever develop a game with the big guys? No pick and roll! the few times I saw it tried, Damian bounce the fucking ball off Lamarcus' leg.
Come to think of it, the same with Leonard. I have these questions, what questions does Olshey have? Does he have answers? I doesn't appear like he does.

 

Did you answer the man's question (also the 1 I had for you TWICE)? NO. Answer the question: be VERY detailed in an explanation of what YOU would do BETTER vs Neil. &... go!

 

Yeah, right. You killed the guy who could give the other side of the story. There are 3 theories here.

1. You are a 100% innocent lamb as you claim.

2. You are Realist and you caused this long thread, to make Denny the big bucks so he'll reward you with more cigars and Hawaii trips.

3. You viciously struck down an eager new board member, costing the board thousands of posts he would have generated over the years, robbing your boss Denny of the profits he has so diligently earned through his backbreaking sweat labor to build this board to its present glory irrespective of your petty attempts to subvert his persevering drudgery.

 

One that plays the position, one that understands he might not be the best shooter on the floor, one that will look to set up his shooter.
Mike Conley would be good but there are several that are not All Stars and their team might jump at the chance to land the Lillard Star.

 

I am sorry you miss it but there was an answer there. Perhaps you will get it next year.

 

Sly committed murder because of... all the above. Man, you got it all figured out! Congrats!

 

You're 3 years behind cmeese with the Conley trade idea..personally, I'm a fan of Lillard's game

 

You ARE sorry. I wouldn't say I "miss(/ed) it."

 

Lamarcus played through that same period when the TEAM slumped. It was a collective slump. What was Lamarcus excuse to be a wash in the Memphis series. He didn't bring his previous playoff venom he showed he was capable of against the Rockets. In 3 years Lillard accomplished a lot and if you didn't see Leonard play against Gasol, you missed out..he played his ass off.
