    We are thin at guard. I hope we trade for another guard.

    Same old. I am mostly defending him but he said those things the last 3 years for absolutely no result.

    I was just thinking that we needed a new thread about Olshey that discussed the same interview that has been discussed in numerous other threads.

    He clearly knows how to dumpster-dive with the best of them. Beyond that, he’s weak.

    I think he was referencing the off-season. In 3 years, were talking about trading a pick for a C than swapping that center for another center. That's it? That's not active at all.

    He needs to stop giving interviews and not show his face until he actually does something outside of participating in the draft and filling out the back of the roster.

    What does he do that a Chief Scout doesn't? He should refund his multi-million salary, climb under a rock, and let his scouting staff make no trades instead of him. The staff which advises him on whom to draft.

    He's lazy though, if that's his key attribute then he should get rid of placeholder players on the team and leave 2 spots for auditioning undrafted\Euro\G-League players.

    We had a good inside scorer, but $4 million/year was too much. Olshey and Stotts want only long shooters.

    You mean Ed Davis? I like Ed but he wasn't much of an offensive threat and wasn't that great a defender either

    I don't even like him that much. Just know that he's strong and scores at the rim and could be available because of the log jam they have with Giannis

    Our only inside scorer other than Nurkic is Caleb
