Talent.... Chemistry......Charactor is what he looks at in that order.
 
Sounds like he really wants to use draft picks....... NOT trade them. Says that's what Larry and Paul wants.
 
Doesn't think he needs coach before draft

Me neither.

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

dude is an alpha male, not a number crunching stat geek.

Also probably a good way to up the bidding for the draft picks. If you announce you want to part with them, I don't think it helps the market for the picks. I won't be disappointed if they keep them, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was a little bit of smoke and mirrors.
 
Going to Chicago to meet with rest of staff tomorrow morning.

Yeah, he couldn't be more clear in wanting to rebuild the team, but not nuking it by trading LMA.

I like that he sees Nic and LMA as building blocks, and I'm going to guess that the Blazers will match any reasonable offer. If he gets a max deal from somebody, well, let him walk.
 
Kaleb's body of work speaks for itself? Is there some head coaching experience that Canales has that I'm unaware of?
 
Going to hop on phone with 29 other GMs ASAP to talk possible deals.
 
"Heat-Lamped" vs "Calm Waters"

Olshey 1, KP 0
 
Continues to say Kaleb has "set bar pretty high"
 
OK, I like him. Now let this guy do his thing, and somebody keep Paul Allen happy.
 
DAMN! This guy is the "Anti-Cho"

Was he specific about coaching body of work? Otherwhise I think it is the end of this season and summer league in 2010.
 
Canales being on ESPN radio yesterday was a tell, wasn't it?

Why does Larry have ANY input in bball decisions?
 
Talked in the 3rd person. HCP loves this guy.
 
Bert is getting a lot of love from Olshey.
 
There's one other way to look at this.... he could be talking up Kaleb so he can get another job in the NBA after he's let go. Everyone likes Kaleb, that's not the problem, but he's not the most qualified man for the job. Neil could be doing him a solid by talking him up on his way out the door. Make it seem like we really want to keep him, but maybe we hire someone else because they're a little better.
 
His praise for Kaleb screams of him trying to keep Kalebs confidence high, meaning probably he won't be giving the job to him.

Only wants to acquire vets that will be here "long term" No quick fixes.
