    no, Neil was hired in 2012. Right before the Lillard draft. Roy was amnestied long before that, and Greg was well gone.

    Not gonna be a popular opinion, but here it goes...
    I blame this whole mess on.... Matthews. If Matthews doesn't have this stupid "I want to make $15 mil/year and be a 2nd option on a team" bullshit, we trade Batum and the rest of the band comes back together.

    ...and it's looking like it'll strand Matthews in Sacramento. What a dumbass.

    I can't be mad at that one either. Asking for 15 mil a year 4 months after popping that achilles and nobody has seen you play, they should just expect you're gonna be good to go at that price, It's ridiculous. I get it, hes dedicated and a hardworking guy, but he needed to be realistic. If Wesley came down in price and Lamarcus had a desire to be with the team and help recruit Monroe before he got signed or somebody else, this would be a whole different situation.

    I like Olshey and free agency has just begun...didn't get the flavor of the month? So what! Move on and keep looking forward. I find joy in the fact that Lamarcus rejected the Lakers yesterday..that's where I hang my hat...more to come

    Maybe he's not on the hot seat but people need to stop calling the man a "genius."

    He's going to end up leaving us because no one will sign with Portland.

    Neo has done a good job since he got here. Not perfect but good.

    Stotts won't be here more than another year or two IMO.

    Glad we have a couple of nice building pieces (Lillard, Volneh, CJ, Leonard). Wish we had more picks lined up.

    What did we get im return?

    Zero.

    Way to go, Neil!

    But we all saw this coming. It shouldn't be shocking.

    ...except for Neil.

    Is a s&t not an option? It's all verbal at this point right.

    Can't believe I agree with this chick.

    But yeah, we fooled Olshey to come here, but he'll shortly leave on his own.

    I think he'll leave as soon as he realizes that he's handcuffed because of the city he works in.

    He had two years to work out something.

    You never let your franchise player go into UFA without getting something in return.

    This ought to get him fired.

    He's definitely on the hot seat now. We were one of the top teams in the league and now we're one of the worst.
