    So I guess our biggest (only) signing of the off-season is Neil Olshey?

    Finals.

    WCF is like kissing your sister. Or HCP's wife.

    Please tell me you realize how ridiculous you are for arguing the validity of my initial question by changing it to a completely different question!!

    • PtldPlatypus--Will the Blazers reach the Western Conference Finals before Olshey's tenure is done?
    • Denny Crane--How many teams will?
    • PtldPlatypus--At least two each year. Shouldn't we expect the Blazers to be one of them at least once during Dame's prime?
    • Denny Crane--Not really. Warriors are going to be one of them for a while, and whatever team LeBron is on, too.
    • PtldPlatypus--Lebron's going to be in the western conference finals?
    • Denny Crane--Finals. WCF is like kissing your sister.
    Boys and Girls, this is what a strawman looks like. I talk about one thing--Denny argues against something else entirely.

    Denny--can you please do me a favor? If you're not going to actually discuss the question I'm asking, please don't waste my time by responding to questions I ask.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Denny makes a good point, though--how likely is it, really, that a given GM can win back-to-back titles? It's a bad metric.

    I don't care how tough it is. I said it before and I'll say it again: if he's going to be extended, a three-peat should be the minimum expectation.

    To be fair, you could just post this in every thread.

    Damnit, Platypus; first you want me to do my own research; now I gotta stick up for you. Denny and Minstrel: Platypus did not say anything about winning an NBA title or even getting into the NBA finals. He was talking about playing in western conference finals.

    Why do you want to waste LeBron's prime? Gold medals or bust.

    Love that you've got my back, but to be fair I'm pretty sure Minstrel was just mocking Denny's part in our kerfuffle by upping the ridiculousness level. The other guy, I can't speak for...

    Excuses. You've got Platypus' excuses, not his back.

    Who would be in charge of re-signing him? The Vulcans?
