I'm not a fan of Olshey but I have to admit - he got us RoLo, who overperformed enough to price himself out of our range. Then he got us Mason Plumlee, who also turned his career around as a Blazer, and helped us get Nurk, who is great. I bet there are plenty of other teams' fans who envy that.

Fair enough.
 
Feels like a lot of teams are winning/losing in unexpected ways that there seems to be more parity league wide. That’s one reason why our recent losses don’t seem as bad to me yet.

See what happens when you remove Steph Curry?
 
Jazz are by far the most unpredictable team in the league. They go from totally unexpected defeats to shock wins on a nightly basis.

You had to go back several years. Most GMs change a starter or two every year.

Plumlee turned around his long, long 2-year career? They overpaid Lopez? You're stretching.

Do you get the idea that identifying and developing talent may not be a strong point for the current Blazer brain-trust?

The assistant coaches work hard to develop talent, then Olshey gives it away instead of trading it for anything.

Lots of teams fans envy that. I spend time reading other teams boards. Fans around the league love Olshey and Stotts.

Just out of curiosity, what teams? I'd really like to know who envy's us.

One in particular is Dallas right now. A whole bunch feel Stotts was the reason Carlisle won a championship. A number of their posters don't like Don Nelson. They say pretty much the same things the people who dislike Olshey say about him.
This is just one team. But there are others. None of which are much better than Portland. Of course Fans of teams like GS and the Celtics don't want changes but most boards read quite a bit the same as this one does.

I think they'll turn it around just because they always have. But MAN they look bad right now. Rubio is often their leading scorer! What happened to Mitchell?

Ha! That's funny about Dallas. I guess they could see things that way since they only won one championship with Dirk. But, don't worry, Dallas.... if Luka Doncic is any proof of where you are going, then you guys will be just fine!

Yeah, I think this year is the wrong year for Dallas fans to be bitching about their GM.
 
Rastapopoulos said:
It's funny: we were lukewarm about most of the players Olshey acquired, bitched about them while they were here, and now are bitching about how well they're doing on other teams.

Well, except for Crabbe.

And here I thought everyone played the best basketball of their careers under Stotts?

Thats a great post KJ!
I bet even Boston if they end up this mediocre as they are now will turn on their Coach and maybe Danny too.

Sorry about that. Normally, I would have pulled out, but it all happened so fast. #BAM

Oh well, at least he seems like a good kid. So, win:win.

Looks we drafted the wrong Collins. John Collins for the Hawks is something special
