    "... end up with (at worst) 9 wins fewer than last year."

    Is that better?

    I argue that Dame/CJ/Crabbe are the only players that are contributing above their previous career norms, and that Stotts actually benefitted from Leonard's injuries. The pieces that Olshey obtained were basically all under-the-radar acquisitions that fit together well, and are actually mostly performing according to expectations. The fact that analysts and Vegas couldn't see that there was actually talent on that team should not be a knock on Olshey at all.

    If he wins, I hope he makes two copies of the award, sends one to LMA and one to Canzano with a note that says: stick in any orifice of your choice.

    If I had a vote I wouldn't give it to Olshey. The NBA allows teams to schedule rest days on home games by we opted to have as many back to backs as possible to tank for a pick. An extra win would be real helpful now.
