I agree, plus I believe NO was 100% honest. But He also looked worried. Maybe even a little scared at times.
nah....people who don't like Olshey seem to be fishing for dysfunction but actually he's got a really deep knowledge of player evaluation..when he talks basketball he doesn't stutter or hesitate...personally I respect the guy...nobody likes a target on their back ..there's just a crowd of forum members who don't want to like the guy and jlprk who just wants Trader Bob back making your head spin with roster flips...at least jlprk heckles him with humor...bones wants his job so his lobby for a GM title is helped by firing the guy who has the job....cracks me up...I'm so glad we don't have the Chad Buchanon Larry Miller interim front office...without a GM and I'm glad we have a front office that's on the same page unlike the Wolves or Bulls or Knicks
To me it looked like tiredness as i am sure that was the case of all GM's. What is he worried or scared about?
Right or wrong, and only time will tell, it appears Olshey got the two guys he wanted. I thought he was in a pretty good mood.
I don't have a clue. It may not be Blazer related. It might be something personal. But due to how much his demenoer changed when talking about the past vs this draft. My gut tells me it is Blazer related.
Cup, have you ever critically thought about this team? You can reply when you're finished with your Olshey business. I'll wait.
Dammit!!! Why only 10 bucks??? http://www.nba.com/blazers/forwardcenter/portlands-2018-nba-draft-workout-participants The VERY first paragraph: "After months of preparation, the 2018 NBA Draft will be held tonight at Barclays Center in Brooklyn (4 p.m. on ESPN). Back in Portland, team owner Paul Allen, president of basketball operations Neil Olshey and the rest of the Trail Blazers’ front office be hunkered down at the practice facility waiting to make the 24th overall pick, currently their lone draft pick in tonight’s event."

I do not mind when someone has a different opinion than mine. I learn more from people who respectfully give their views vs those that agree with me. The key word here is RESPECTFULLY. I learn zero from rude comments. People that use rudeness to try to win a debate appear very weak, and do not know what they are talking about.
Neil seems solid at player evaluation. He has hits and misses like everyone else. I just question the piling of so many similar assets at times. CJ....when you already had Dame. Swanigan when you just spent 2 picks on Collins. And outside of Dame/CJ, there have been a dozen other picks that range from solid (Collins and Barton) to Meh....pretty much everyone else. I hope Simons develops into what they think he can and that Trent is a 2nd round steal.
