    That being said, we hired Billups, clearly not the best candidate on any level.

    Rumor was that the owner was not happy that they dealt Wiseman, and then this tool tried to cover it up by throwing us under the bus.

    From the outside, that situation was certainly handled very poorly.

    It was very Neil Olsheyian.

    I don't know that word, but I don't feel like it's a compliment!

    I ran "It's just time" through Google's NBA Doublespeak to English translator and got, "I'm quitting before the owner fires my ass".

    100%

    Blowing the second pick in the draft and then it sounded like he moved Wiseman without talking to the owner first. The funny thing is that Neil made ALL KINDS of mistakes that were as bad or worse, and he never got us a ring.

    Some speculation this would happen as Myers promised Klay an extension so now the organization can walk back from that.

    Klay is still a great shooter and can get hot - but he's not close to the lock up defender that made him an elite two way player in his prime.
