I think overvaluing your players is a terrible attribute for a GM but if a GM is seen as being prone to just pull the trigger to get a deal done... even if they were just doing so situationally then getting the most out of competing GMs in the future might be really hard given what those moves may have done to the reputation of a GM who only has those moves on his resume. In keeping with the thread though, let's hope we have a new GM or Cronin can overcome that if it's even a thing.
Completely agree with the whole post. No joke. I'm just hoping it was a situational thing he had to make the best of. Unfortunately I think that's the best case scenario right now...
I guess we'll see really soon. The Vulcans are a real fucking mess if they just leave the interim tag on Joe through the draft and expect him to have the same leverage in negotiations as he would have as a signed GM. They also can't expect free agents to feel like they're signing onto a solid situation if they leave the interim tag on. So we better find out really really soon if you're right or they're going another way.
I do find it a little ironic that "positive vibes" in this case means open season on former Blazers. Not that the comments about Olshey and the players are wrong.
I think it's pretty fundamental in this day and age to create "positive vibes" by recognizing negative situations you're not a part of and once recognized post about somehow, somewhere.
I don't see any comments in this thread trashing former players or dwelling on Olshey. Just that they weren't a good fit moving forward for one reason or another.
