Ha! I loved how he took a shot at the fans who "were still wondering about it". I think his reply was "Why?" "Why would they wonder about it?"
Olshey handled reporters' beating a dead horse far more positively than, say, Kupchak or other GMs would have. He'll soon understand why Rasheed Wallace hated cynical, racist Portland sports reporters.
Clarified... more like back peddled. That was a shot at Ben, and after he realized that it was a little harsh, he tried to make it sound better than he originally meant it.
Wrong. That's actually what Ben does, it wasn't a dig at him. He brought it up to illustrate how Aldridge has given the same response over and over. These idiots in the media have no intelligence about the team so they decide to ask a question that's been answered a thousand times. What possible reason is there to ask it again? Do they actually expect a different answer this time? It's lazy and at this point annoying and they deserve to be called out on it. Then he says the fans still wonder. Bullshit. Maybe a vocal, stupid minority, but the majority have long since moved on and are happy Aldridge is still here and are just looking forward to basketball. If fucksticks like can canzano don't want him to be defensive then quit asking stupid questions over and over. Problem solved. Put the smallest amount of effort into your work. I'm sure you can figure out a question that wasn't answered a hundred times two months ago. Olshey kicked ass this summer and that's your big media day question? Whoever it was deserved it, as well as a kick to the nuts.

One thing I learned on media day is that we had a better record against playoff teams than non-playoff teams last year. Weird.
