I've Lost All Faith in Paul Allen

[PapaG]

Hires a Warren LaGarie client who obviously was playing a game with two stupid owners to drive up the price.

Olshey lost the trust of players like Eric Gordon.

Needed David Stern to make the Clippers a playoff team this year.

Made perhaps the dumbest move in the past decade by giving an unprotected #1 pick to Cleveland for Baron Davis.

Sell the phucking team, please.

You've made it very clear in two other Olshey-related trades that you don't like this hire. Did you really need to create a third one to say the same thing?

Someone is in attention whore mode, per usual.

Useless thread

Obviously I did. Others have made their cheerleading for this hire obvious in other threads, yet also created their own threads, too.

Sell the phucking team, Paul.

Acquired Nick Young, Kenyon Martin, Caron Butler, Chauncey Billups, Mo Williams...not bad at all. He has a vision to acquire talent...to go for the superstar versus hanging on to young stars on the rise....win now.

I blame HCP.

I don't hate the move, but I don't love it. Certainly a lot of "meh". The only part that excites me, is regardless of Olshey's ability, it's a step forward in that we now have a GM, and with that little bit of certainly, the organization can strategize and plan and move forward.

But Olshey himself neither upsets me now excites me. I'll hold further judgment until he's started making moves and we can get a sense of where we're headed.

Yeah, but since he doesn't have me on ignore (yet), he actually saw my post.

well, it answers HCP's question.

 

[PapaG]

Clearly Sterling didn't give Olshey much credit. Olshey must have pulled some great pussy from his acting days in Cannes during the big interview.

Every time his pant-shitting fills one diaper, it's time to start a new thread.

It's actually getting comical People continue to react and bash him every time he does it. Of course, I have two young children, so I understand how my reactions to their tantrums shape their future behaviors/tantrums. Why do people expect any different?

 

[PapaG]

Stolen from julius:

Chris Haynes.

One thing to keep in mind: Olshey and Trail Blazers interim head coach, Kaleb Canales, share the same agent – Warren LeGarie – and that should definitely help Canales' cause

.

Everybody hated LaGarie two years ago, and now his clients are back in the Blazer fold?

Such inconsistency. Good luck to anybody who works for this mess.

I thought Paul Allen's moms name was Faye not Faith.

Lame, but I understand you have to keep up appearances here.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

You didn't have faith in Paul Allen before this hire. Kind of hard to lose something you didn't have, don't you think?

 

[PapaG]

Without Chris Paul, that's horrible. And Chris Paul forced a trade to LAC after Stern denied the Laker trade.

I'm sure the Blazers will be back on top soon, though. Paul Allen's judgement should not be questioned!

I said all faith.

It's embarrassing to see him used like this by Olshey for a larger contract, but I'm sure the buttsniffers will ignore the obvious.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Appearances? What appearances?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Obviously I did. Others have made their cheerleading for this hire obvious in other threads, yet also created their own threads, too.

I think only one person has done that, and he's someone I'm surprised you'd want to emulate.

The dude just came in a strong 3rd in GM of the year voting. Your freak out on this hiring is clearly not shared by many.

Why surprised? PapaG is constantly talking about said poster. Pretty sure he has a creepy-stalker hard-on for the dude.

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Lol.

 

[PapaG]

I hope Olshey, in spite of Paul Allen and his lackeys, can lead this team to a title.

I'll leave it at that, and I won't hold my breath.

PA just got played by a player, IMO.

Sounds like Olshey used some hardcore negotiation tactics for this GM spot . . . let's hope he carries this into his new GM position.

You should be happy that Allen isn't carrying a grudge against the agent and is putting what is best for the team ahead of any personal grudge he personally has.

HAHAHA!
