Wasn't the story that he wanted to leave in a few months and they said, how about you leave now..... like...... right now?
Yeah, which he expected them to do because he put his impending departure out on twitter before talking to them. He forced their hand, and forced them to pay out the entirety of his remaining contract rather than leaving money on the table.
Olshey's issue is that he has a skewed perspective when it comes to value. He seems to understand value when bringing in players. But when he is sending out players he over values them. He thinks they are worth more than they are, and other teams aren't buying it.
Yeah, because you know everything that he's offered etc etc etc. Safe to say that Neal's pinky toe knows more about NBA talent than you do.
All do respect to you boo boo er Bo Bo!! I wouldn't bet on that. As fans we have to live with it. But his roster is not ok right now. No matter how much hot air comes out of his mouth. It doesn't make ok where his team and roster is at the moment. How many times have we said, "we'll just wait til the summer" or ""we'll wait for the deadline" for him to make his splash. The man is absent. He is no longer even good at keeping the comraderie together for the team. He's just bad. And doesn't need anymore of his own excuses or yours or mine to story tell what is going on. Someone else needs an opportunity to get this roster where he can't take it.
There are a half-dozen posters here who are clearly paid to defend Blazer management. I have the Polaroids. Year after year, whenever anyone calls for a change, the same people show up in the threads. It all starts at the top with Denny. Follow the money.
Where is the thread, "Neil Olshey defenders coming soon." They are proactive in starting threads like this to defend him, in order to beat titles like that.
Kings could be worse off... They could be losing that dominant player for no compensation. Like we did a couple years ago...
Going after free agents was stupid. Losing Aldridge for nothing was stupid. Aside from those two items I think he's done a pretty good job.
Your analogy doesn't even apply as the concept of investment is completely different. In this case the guy paying the $$$ out authorized the financial expenditure. So while you seem completely intent on blaming Olshey exclusively that's misguided as Paul, again the guy financing the whole thing approved everything.
