Canzanos new conspiracy

[Fez Hammersticks]

He landed a great prospect in Vonleh for a sputtering Batum.

With the foresight, he could've landed a nice package for LMA.

He set this franchise back years for hoping medicore moves like Afflalo/Kaman/Wright would put this team over the top and convince LA to stay.

Although it wasn't the reason Kaman was signed, his mentoring of our young bigs, may make the Kaman signing a brilliant move and money well spent. Heck the improvement we saw out of Meyers alone last year made it worth having Kaman on the roster. Kaman worked with him in the off season and was constantly in his ear during games. I can only imagine how practicing against Kaman on a daily basis helped Meyers' development.

But yeah, Afflalo (especially) and Wright were disappointing.

I think honestly this is why Kaman was signed again this year, and that he won't be traded.

Afflalo/Kaman/Wright (ok, not so much Wright) put us in the conversation at the top. Wesley's Achilles failed, not Olshey.

Noel's injury was a freak accident.

That move is turning out to be brilliant.

Noel for Jrue is robbery.

It was such a brilliant move that they decided to draft his replacement this summer. Weird...

I thought it was a players option.

Olshey said himself in hos presser he told both Blake and Kaman their contracts would be attractive to other teams, and Blake said he was told to expect a trade. I would assume Kaman was told the same thing since Neil made a point to bring it up.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I thought if we didn't trade him before some July date he was guarAnteed. I short handed the decision not to do anything as resigning. That wasn't totally accurate.

 

[HailBlazers]

Without going on and on about this...I just don't think he is that good of a GM. He's had a ton of missed opportunities and I think much like in the way Nate was exposed as a coach and hasn't been able to recover from it. Neil has been exposed as a General Manager.

Going back to the Chris Paul trade back in his time with the Clippers. I really feel that was more about Stern and his drive to help NO and to get Paul in a larger market than it was about Neil pulling a rabbit out of his hat. Which I have never seen out of him here.

Shocker with a username like that.

Shocker with a username like that.

The mug is gone...it's by design.

"Neil Olshey (No. 3 in 2014): Awful summer for the Trail Blazers GM costs him on this list. Olshey got nothing for three big expiring contracts (LaMarcus Aldridge, Wesley Matthews and Robin Lopez) and is trying to spin the failure this summer as a natural part of building a winner. The Blazers roster strength is how the GM will ultimately be judged, and the roster is at its weakest point in some time. Olshey has drafted well, but feels like the first GM in league history to begin tanking a season in the previous July"

Um, perhaps Mr. C hasn't heard of Sam Hinkie? He starts tanking at the draft a year or two out. Embiid? Saric?
Danny Ainge has perfected this. Twice.
Then again, I know that Johnny doesn't know basketball, but it's cute to see him try to troll without the ammo. And you don't usually use the term "expiring contracts" for actually good players. The roster's at the weakest point since when? 2011? 2012? You do know that we, just a couple years back, started Hasheem Thabeet, Johnny Flynn, Nolan Smith, Luke Babbitt and Kurt Thomas, right?

Edit: Should've kept reading. Should've known BNM would be all over it.

The Oregonian's Joe Freeman and the Blazer's Casey Holdahl basically called out the Clown for being full of BS about the story that the Blazers made LA say he wanted to come back and be the 'Greatest Blazer'. So much was made about that story when it came out and then little about it when it was proven false. Typical Clown...just writing articles to stir things up.

Bozo the Clown has always been like that. It shouldn't be a shocker to anyone reading his articles for the last decade.

The motto "out of sight, out of mind" works for me.

9. Pottie Shot Urinal Screens
According to the radio ad we heard last week, this local sports-themed urinal screen company has some sort of promotional tie-in going with Oregonian sports columnist and Bald Faced Truth host John Canzano. If this means we can now literally piss on John Canzano, we'll take four, please!

It's funny when the people that work with you are calling you out.

Quick did too via Twitter.

I think he has to write that type of article to get anyone to read it because his credibility is a disaster. So predictable in trying to stir things up to the point of being dead wrong just to generate responses. Weak!
