    Anyone remember the Seinfeld episode where Kathy Griffin did the one woman play on why she hates Jerry Seinfeld?

    I want to see @Gronk Brady do something similar about Olshey. I would totally go.

    Im thinking the Blazers are going to be right in the thick of 3-8 again. No way they trend down, the continuity along with some good young shooters, rooks that can play, and the continued evolving of Dame, CJ & Nurk spells success to me. GTJr. will be surprise player of the year!

    GS - will coast the year and still win it all
    Hou - will take a step back
    3-8 or even 2-8 will be a battle for respect! Shoot that freaken ball!

    I know Olshey acquired all these guys but it still feels like all the “success” the team has had has had more to do with the coaches and Dames leadership rather than Neils grand vision.

    Olshey never gets any of his objectives done in the offseason.

    Run out of gas in a lame Ferrari?
    Tweet awful things that can't be blamed on youthful ignorance?

    That's two summers in a row, plus the regular season, that we've made moves to get worse. Last summer we deleted a rotation player (Crabbe). Then mid-season we deleted another player (Vonleh). And this summer we've replaced 2.5 rotation players (Ed=1, Bazz=1, Pat=.5) with 0.5 rotation players (Curry =.5). (Draft picks don't count, because every teams gets two picks every season.)

    I don't think it's fair to put Curry as a 0.5 if he's healthy. At the very least he's as good as Bazz if you have him worth 1. I can see why you wouldn't count draft picks but Olshey did make trades to get extra draft picks and then used one of those picks to move up into the lottery so it's kind of unfair to just ignore the draft completely. Your overall point is valid though.

    True. But I think the Curry signing has the potential to be sneaky great.

    Crabbe was a rotation player, but how letting him go impacted the team is easily debatable.
    Vonleh was no longer a rotation player by the time he was dealt
    Curry will be likely as much a rotation player as Bazz was.
    Also, you're omitting the addition of Baldwin, who is likely going to be a rotation player.

    That bitch TT wouldn't play Center so NO went and got Rolo for a bowl of steam.

    Because of this addition, every one of our starters had career years in rebounding.

    Never say never.

    I listened to Dames interview at his camp and he was asked why fa's won't sign here. Well, he said during the season when players come here a time or two and its raining it turns them off.
    When it comes to trades he's still got time and assets tow work with. However, it takes two teams to agree on a deal that should help both teams.

    At the risk of over-generalizing, it does seem that Olshey's fans tend to have a low opinion of Stotts, while those that respect Stotts have a less than stellar view of Olshey. (you can count me in the latter camp)

    That's interesting. And true in my case.

    BOTH of them get next season from me (like what I say matters).

    They're both on par with the other when it comes to my patience level with either.

    How is Curry a "0.5" rotation player? And Pat was only a rotation player when Harkless didn't play. Trent I expect to see some minutes and have more of an impact over all but 10 or so rookies, so his impact wouldn't be "canceled out". I don't understand the logic haha.
