I'm So SICK & TIRED of Neil Olshey

I think people put way too much into him being excited about adding a pick. That doesn't mean he didn't have expectations for Nurk though.

 

Hmmmm.....I doubt it?

I'm not talking about free agent signings, per se. Ed Davis is great value. Aminu was a decent signing. Bazz was OK. My impression is the same as the case blue just made: It's about who Olshey has been making big offers to, and for how much. Even the Crabbe signing was essentially a free agent offer. And Turner. Horrible. And a year after almost every other big offer they've made, we were all thanking whatever god we've been told to believe in, that they didn't sign with us.

I'll leave it to you if you think all the previous GMs had the same track record of ill advised offers as Olshey, because I really don't recall.



PS: If you are talking about the Blazers historic inability to sign big name free agents: Yeah, that's not Olshey's fault. No argument there.

 

Yeah, that's what I thought at the time. I thought Nurk was a great acquisition the instant I heard about it, and I know less than mediocre man's avatar

 

What I recall from the article was that he wanted Nurkic as a project on a rookie scale contract but was surprised at what level he was at when he first got here, but I got the impression that he wanted the player.

 

I never thought Presti was the best GM. A lot of us realized he got lucky twice.

 

Last summer, there were a lot of pundits and “experts”, telling us how amazing presti was, doesn’t mean you did, I didn’t believe it either. Though at the time I had wished the Blazers had gotten either pg13 or Melo (turns out Melo isn’t very good anymore). I am just saying we usually judge a GM by how his team performed after the fact.

 

I can't believe this thread is still alive.

 

You kidding? There is enough hatred for him this thread will never die until he is gone. Pretty sure of that.

 

What's hilarious is that much of this thread isn't even about Olshey.

 

Yeah it’s the off season we tend to let our arguments get all over the place and spill over from other threads.

 

This is your first off-season here whatcha talking about?!

 

TorturedBlazerFan exposed. Who's 2nd account is this?!

 

Lol, I was at o-live all of last off-season.

 

I don't mind Cup, but I've never really gotten into it with him over anything, so maybe I'm his burner account? That's how that works right? lol.

 

We all know that our do-nothing GM will do as little as possible this summer, like his previous summers. He is motivated only to answer to economics, not to improve the team.

 

I guess the truth is if he’s doing what his boss wants he’ll keep his job and continue to do what his boss wants. If PA is telling him to answer to economics or whatever then all NO has to do is satisfy Paul.

 

So if we fire NO who do we get to replace him?

 

Sounds like you're Sick and Tired or the Sick and Tired thread....

 

Good job at trying to cover things up, Mr. Bryan Colangelo!

 

Cup is a great guy and very sports savvy. And I don't care if he went to OSU or voted for that C Hillary!
WE have somewhat similar past as baseball players, him Ford me Chevy, Boats, Twighlight Room, Yaws, Waddles, Broadway...
The guy is sharp and a really nice guy, get off his case!
