Olshey has a history for not to offer CJ, After the report came out that the Pelicans wants a All Star caliber player, a young player with All Star potencial and two First Round picks, i'm sure we could easily beat any offer from other Teams, because the Blazers could offer CJ, Collins, Simons, two or three future picks for Davis and Hill, add another team to make salary works. Thats way better what any other team could offer. Do i think Olshey is gonna offer CJ? Of course not, Neil loves him too much. He's just not the GM who can make a big move

1.) How do you know he's never offered CJ?
2.) How the hell do you know that it wasn't Paul Allen being unwilling to trade C.J. for a possible 1-year rental?
3.) No, we can't automatically beat every other teams offer every single time.
4.) C.J. might not even be the best player being offered. Beal is a possibility in a 3-team trade.
5.) A legitimate source has came out and publically said that they've put C.J. on the table in an AD trade.

You're talking with much more certainty on this situation than I am, which makes it funny that you're trying to claim I'm the one acting like the "expert". I guess you base that off of me doing some research to corroborate someone else's report... You're purely speculating with no information and giving me crap for doing research to corroborate a report.

I'm not playing expert with inside info. I said someone else's Tweets were legit. That's it. You don't think I can find out if a report is legit or not? There's multiple members on this forum that probably could if they wanted to, because there's multiple people out there that know enough to confirm a report. Thing is, most of them won't say anything because of the way Olshey runs things. In the end, it's not some special thing. If I heard it in confidence, I wouldn't even relay anything. Only reason I'm talking about it openly is because that report is public with that guys Twitter, and it was sourced from another Western Conference Exec, and because I was able to confirm it with someone else (Someone reading this might think it's them, it's not). In the end though, it's not some special thing, and it's not as hard as some make it out to be.

Since then I've been adding reasoning and context to the situation. Meanwhile, you've been speculating with a bunch of ignorant crap while trying to tell me what "I know" and how I "know nothing" all because you want to whine about non-facts like how Olshey "offered Harkless, Turner, Leonard and 25 for Davis"...

Today was my daughter’s last day of middle school, I took her and her 2 best friends out for ice cream.
 
My (speculative) belief is that Olshey is not afraid to make big moves; his problem is that he wants to make another deal like the Chris Paul deal, where he didn't really give up that much to get a great player. He doesn't seem to offer quite enough. Let's hope he doesn't overcompensate some time in the future.

Wouldn’t that qualify as being scared to make a big move?

Well, it could be; he could fear that it would look like he overpaid. I think he is very sensitive to what people think about him, one reason he gets very defensive sometimes in pressers.[/QUOTE]

Nah. Because if he walks we’d have nothing. But I’d offer up CJ. I don’t think Olshey would.

Contrary to the thoughts of people here, Olshey is a professional. That means he would never let it be known he was making CJ available. So,
posters will insist he's gutless, but the truth is we'll never know.

Look at the shitshow that is the unprofessionalism of the Lakers. Everyone on the team feels betrayed.

Have you just succumbed to the heat or something? Everything is were portland, portland sucks, even if something good happens it’ll eventually be something bad....

lol.

We're Portland. We're not getting AD. I love the city of Portland so much, but we do not get people like AD unless we draft them.
 
Since it's technically a new day:

We're not getting AD.
 
I'd give up CJ for AD. Also multiple first round draft picks and we eat a worse contract.

I wouldn't give up Nurk, Collins, or Simon's in addition to the above. We love both young guys but they don't hold the value to other teams as they do to us. It's critical we have some youth and low priced contracts along with our stars. CJ is better than any player the Lakers or Boston is offering so I think we may be able to get that deal done without including those.

If you get AD you go all in for this season so i don't see the point of Zach or Simons being dealbreakers. Nurkic is another story and cannot be compared to Zach and Simons. But if AD committed for more years then I would take Nurk to the airport myself lol . If yoi have AD and Dame locked surely more will come and for cheap.
