CJ is present. No Dame.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

CJ is present. No Dame.

I think Dame is in Cabo.

 

[blazerkor]

Someone is still asking the question, they just might finesse it a little better. CJ being there is terrible for the team.

 

[illmatic99]

I think Dame is in Cabo.

came back yesterday, was at his guy's gym in Tigard.

 

[B-Roy]

I think Dame is in Cabo.

No he's back, but probably training for the Olympics.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

They did the investigation AFTER they offered him there position?!?

 

[B-Roy]

Early bets on how Neil Olshey will address Chauncey's accusations tomorrow?

"Look, we're not at liberty to discuss details, but what I will tell you is this. We take accusations of that nature very seriously and we looked into the veracity of those allegations and found that there was no truth to the way people believe things worked out. And I know that we are not the only organization to have done so. Other organizations within the NBA and outside the NBA have done their own investigations and their conclusions matched ours. I have known Chauncey for over 10 years, he's been an upstanding citizen, has had multiple positions within the league and outside of it, is highly respected among his peers, has a beautiful wife and three kids and would not have the kind of support he does if people truly believed he was capable of the things that some people are saying he is. And one more thing is that I can guarantee you guys that Jody Allen would not have signed off on our decision had she believed that he was actually the type of person that did such a thing."

This would be such a Neil thing to say.

Okay I was pretty fucking close.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

OH MY GOD, HE TALKS SLOW

FIRE CHAUNCEY!!!!!

 

[BlazerBeav]

He's addressing it head on - and well IMO.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

CB not reading from a card - heartfelt.

 

[illmatic99]

terrific start

 

[Fogojam]

He's addressing it head on - and well IMO.

Agreed, not dodging it AT ALL. Straight to it from both Billups and Olshey.

 

[B-Roy]

Dame's most recent like.

 

[illmatic99]

Dame's most recent like.

he did that yesterday afternoon. irrelevant to this PC

 

[B-Roy]

I forgot Gravitas on the bingo board. That was a guaranteed hit.

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm a little disappointed that Dame isn't there, but it feels like he's distancing himself from the hire.

 

[illmatic99]

been a while since Neil has been this forthcoming.

i think it helps to not be by himself in front of a computer screen

 

[B-Roy]

I'm a little disappointed that Dame isn't there, but it feels like he's distancing himself from the hire.

And they are doing the best to distance themselves from Dame. No mention of Dame at all, even the question to Chauncey regarding Dame he basically dodged.

 

[Labinot41]

Of course AJ Mccord ask about the details about the investigation

 

[Strenuus]

Neil looks like he has elf ears.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

I'm a little disappointed that Dame isn't there, but it feels like he's distancing himself from the hire.

just distancing himself from the shitshow, he loves the hire.

 

[illmatic99]

Of course AJ Mccord ask about the details about the investigation

she's terrific. probably one of the few mediapeople in this market who asks tough questions. this questions was exactly what i wanted to know more about

 

[Labinot41]

100% Quick is gonna ask about CJ's defense

 

[Labinot41]

can they ask basketball questions please?

 

[Natebishop3]

And they are doing the best to distance themselves from Dame. No mention of Dame at all, even the question to Chauncey regarding Dame he basically dodged.

This is not a good development.

Not only is Dame not there, but CJ is out there. The one guy that we want traded. This is horse shit. So tired of Neil.

 

[Labinot41]

Boy another question about the investigation

 

[B-Roy]

Lmao, what kind of answer does Sean Highkin think he's gonna get? Don't be dense.

 

[Natebishop3]

Boy another question about the investigation

It's the only thing that matters to some of these people.

 

[B-Roy]

This is not a good development.

Not only is Dame not there, but CJ is out there. The one guy that we want traded. This is horse shit. So tired of Neil.

They are doing it probably out of respect for Dame. It's a good thing.
