Live coverage of the Neil Olshey press conference

[THE HCP]

THE HCP OF GMs

 

[South East]

Olshey "it's nothing the Clippers didn't do. It's what the Blazers did."

 

[Sedatedfork]

Larry Miller "Since my hiring this is the most excited I have been"

Pics or it didn't happen

 

[PapaG]

KP and Penn talked positively about Portland to Olshey, when Olshey called them to ask.

Day One, and already in the doghouse?

 

[ironcrotch]

I LOVE THIS MAN

 

[Sedatedfork]

Oh shit! He dropped the "S" word. Portlanders everywhere just got wood.

Scrappy? What's the S word?

 

[THE HCP]

No quick fixes....... no trades for aging vets just to squeak into the 8th spot.

 

[South East]

Olshey - "It's not a rebuild, its a retool", "Not looking for aging veterans that get the 8th seed"

 

[PapaG]

I LOVE THIS MAN

He reminds of KP, listening to him. Sounds like a rebuild, too, and that he wants to keep the picks and build through the draft.

 

[Natebishop3]

I like this guy a lot.

 

[THE HCP]

Open to keeping Chad around.

 

[THE HCP]

Kaleb is "his guy"!

 

[South East]

Olshey "I Love Kaleb!"

 

[Sedatedfork]

Sounds like his first order of business is going to be getting rid of HCP

 

[Natebishop3]

Scrappy? What's the S word?

Sustainable

 

[THE HCP]

This guy obviously loves Grg! I wouldn't mind him as Kaleb's lead assistant.

 

[THE HCP]

Kaleb is "favorite" for head coach spot.

 

[THE HCP]

Sounds like his first order of business is going to be getting rid of HCP

WHat!!!!!!?????

 

[Sedatedfork]

Denies that he was ever abducted by aliens, but doesn't rule it out

 

[South East]

"if you want to handicap it, he (Kaleb) is the favorite."

 

[ehizzy3]

whoaa, wasn't expecting that answer.

 

[Sedatedfork]

He really enjoys voodoo doughnuts. That sealed the deal for him.

 

[THE HCP]

Said TV crew doesn't get enough credit!

 

[Sedatedfork]

Wow -- BREAKING NEWS -- he admits he is MIXUM

 

[PapaG]

whoaa, wasn't expecting that answer.

Me neither.

Olshey sure is a big break from Cho, who was wetting his pants during his interview while Miller was holding his hand.

 

[THE HCP]

He said Nic situation is like DeAndre Jordan's.

 

[PapaG]

Olshey is just blatantly honest.

KP, Part Two

 

[THE HCP]

He said Nic situation is like DeAndre Jordan's.

Already has contacted Nic's agent. Called nic cornerstone.

 

[Natebishop3]

Neil Olshey = Kevin Pritchard on steroids.

 

[Sedatedfork]

I liked KP and if you guys are starting to come around on him already and comparing his personality to KP, it makes me think this was a very good hire.
