Treaty_ of_ Batum- What is funny is how quickly blazer fans will drink the water of any mirage presented cause they thirst for direction sooooooo fucking badly! Sloan was a big name hire 10 years ago when he had Stockton and Malone and the Blazers still beat them! We beat them when they had Deron Williams too!That to me isn't a step up.... It's a PR stunt to get season ticket holders to renew and hope they aren't smart enough to know the difference between then and now. Jerry Sloan is a 70 year old guy, how much energy do you think he has left? Your 70's aren't the easiest years to work 18 hour days. Hiring the Clippers ex gm just showed how PA got worked yet again. This guy used the Blazers to ramp up his paycheck. Even if this guy turns out to be amazing like KP, how long will it be till Mr. Crazy Allen fires him for GOD only knows what? Track record says 14 months? Any takers? Now let's go overspend for Nash and really fill the we don't know basketball quota! HAHAHA! I'm out!
Why? Neil dramatically changed the Clippers roster in two weeks and it resulted in them making the 2nd round for the first time in eons. Dude can flat out get deals done.
It's great, and I am being serious, that he can get deals done. He flat out got lucky with Paul, and our team has very little talent. I am nervous we will see our picks traded for a guy like Iggy
I'm laughing my ass of at all you haters! Today is a day for the true fans to celebrate this great hire.
No such thing. But I bet Paul trusts him a bunch, or he wouldn't have hired him. Word is Paul just wants to be convinced by someone who he trusts.
No fucking way Olshey hires Kaleb. None. Olshey is well connected in the league. I predict we'll be happy with his hire. Edit: Oh, yeah. Fuck Chris Haynes! He bummed me out, LOL.

Yeah, no way we go into "full rebuild" with this hire. Your prediction that we trade the picks for immediate "help" just became a lot more likely.
