Neil Olshey offseason got even worse

You're asking the wrong guy. Back in the day, Portland sports radio was awesome. You had Kermit and Mychal on the Big Show and Colin and Kenny Vance. Those were the good old days. Back then, I listened to sports talk radio on my way to work, on my lunch hour and on my evening commute.

That gradually faded as these guys left the local market. About six years ago, I was still listening to Wheels at Work, but these days the only sports I listen to on the radio is the blazers games and occasionally a little of the pregame show. It's just not what it used to be.

I was an intern at 910 The FAN back in the late 90's/early 2000s. Colin was still there, with Kenny and a few other really talented guys. I haven't listened in a long time because the qualify is just so poor. And then you've got bozos like Canzano on the air.... it's a joke.

 

If Marc Stein is right...

Plan A) Tyson Chandler - "Tried unsuccessfully to land Chandler from Phoenix."
Plan B) Jusuf Nurkic
Plan C) Jahlil Okafor

Phoenix saved Neil from ....himself.

 

NO has been saved from poor mustakes by Tyson Chandler and Chandler Parsons

 

Someone explain to me why Tyson Chandler would have been so awful?

Currently averaging 8 ppg and 11.5 rebounds.

He has two years left on his deal at 13.5 million, but we're paying Ezeli 9 million just to sit on our bench in a suit.

 

Great rapport and very knowledgeable.

Kenny Vance was a lot of fun, too.

Olshey said he met with Parsons agent but didn't offer Parsons any deals....he said Turner was the priority over Chandler but meeting Chandler's agent was just due diligence....he might want to deal with that agent in the future ...from his words...they weren't pursuing Parsons aggressively...but Turner was on their radar...he did go after Monroe and Kanter aggressively which might have paid off ...especially Kanter.

 

In the end, the Kanter deal may have worked out pretty well for OKC. At the time, it was viewed as Neil forcing OKC to overpay Kanter or lose him. With Westbrook on pace to miss the second most FGAs in the last 30 years, having one of the best offensive rebounders in the game as your number 2 option on offense makes a of of sense. I just wonder of the scorekeeper in OKC gives Westbrook as assist on all those Kanter put backs.
