How Long Until Everybody Is Bashing This New GM?

[THE HCP]

I see people on here posting......"This is great" "I'm so happy now!" How do you guys know if this is a good hire or not. I'm as excited now I was yesterday. Can't wait to see how soon until the negative threads about this guy begin.

Ask me on draft night.

How soon before we see the threads bashing the threads bashing the team? You realize that threads just like this one are just as disruptive and negative as the ones you're talking about?

Let's see: he's an actor from commercials and he's already pissed off Eric Gordon...

Gordon, who was the centerpiece of the Clippers' package, found the proceedings of that week distasteful and Olshey, in particular, disingenuous.

"He literally called a meeting to say that nobody was going to leave, that he loved the team." Gordon said. "He said it a couple of times. Then with a change like that? You really can't trust what the person says or does."

Heh, wasn't KP saying that he wasn't going to trade anyone before he dealt away ZBo?

 

[BrianFromWA]

If/when he does something I think is dumb, I'll call him out for it.

If/when he does something good, he'll get praised for it.

Why are you against either of those?

Dude sucks.

10 seconds after their 1st pick in the draft this year.

Gordon can't understand why a GM would say that and then trade him for . . . . . . Chris Paul. Eric, you got traded for Chris Paul. Was the GM suppose to not try and make that happen?

 

[BrianFromWA]

And if you're really as excited today as you were yesterday, then I don't know what to tell you. We got to unwrap a big Christmas present today, and it's one that a lot of people in here wanted. Pissing in the Cheerios is ok, I guess, but right now it's exciting that we have a guy who a) set up the CP3 trade, b) wants to be here and c) seems to have the trust of PA (what little he gives to GMs). That's a win on all three for me.

I'm just trying to understand why someone who supposedly dislikes negativity on this forum, would make a negative thread on an otherwise positive day?

 

[THE HCP]

Didn't they give great picks away 2 years in a row? The #1 pick!

I'm not being negative! I'm wondering why you are all being so positive!

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm not being negative! I'm wondering why you are all being so positive!

Because the team did something good. People tend to be positive when the team does something good.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I'm already bashing him... Dude looks like a date rapist. Plus, the whole Baron and unprotected first for Mo Williams deal... Sounds like a John Nash deal! And the whole wanting to be here thing? He went to LA, then came back to us last second. If you don't feel like you were leveraged in the deal, you're a fool.

No sir, I don't like it.

 

[RoyToy]

We'll see if he overpays Batum or not

I will take a wait and see approach

1. Coach
2. Draft
3. FA signings

 

[RoyToy]

He's definitely better than Cho

This is what I'm trying to get at....... because until today I have never heard of this guy . WHY is this considered "good"?

 

[PapaG]

The clock starts now.

Impress me, Olshey.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Because nerds on the Internet consider a short term rental of CP3 to be the best free agent acquisition ever.

 

[PapaG]

Heh, wasn't KP saying that he wasn't going to trade anyone before he dealt away ZBo?

Did he call the team together and say it in front of the players?

Link?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

if he can't land Deron :MARIS61:

 

[BBert]

I don't mind that Olshey leveraged whomever for a better deal. I don't care if he's a car salesman, if he's a good one. Do we want a GM who's a lousy negotiator? I think not.

I'm going to take that Paul got his man at face value. I hope Paul has his comfort level back and his trust issues resolved.

Now, who's our next coach?

Maybe you noticed, but my post was in the form of a question.

Dude made a "consolidation" trade that significantly upgraded his team's chances at making the 2nd round of the playoffs. It wasn't a rental, it wasn't a FA acquisition and plenty of non-internet nerds liked it ,too.

And having a GM is better than not, or else you'd see the majority of teams without GMs.

 

[Natebishop3]

Can't expect everyone to like the signing.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Very sorry, a trade for CP3, not an acquisition. That'll be even more useful to us as we have such an array of talent to trade.

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm just curious who would have been the better hire here? Morway? Bower? Retain Buchanan? I think this was easily the best option available.

I don't get you tonight. We've got an almost-franchise player, a highly-sought (if not highly-valuable) RFA, two lotto picks, 2-4 rotation players on rookie contracts (of various quality, sure) and a bunch of cap space. THere are myriad ways to go this offseason. And if you're of the opinion that having a guy who throughout the league is known as a smart guy, who has a history of pulling off "acquisitions" to help his team get better quickly is worse than having Nate and Bert Kolde veto trades our interim GM lined up, then I don't know what to tell you.
