Merged: |0fficial| Trade Deadline

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

OlSHLAPPED!!

 

[Cippy91]

will add 3 new players this year. What's that mean. Quarterman, or the future?

Pretty much. Just develop the players we get from draft and keep fucking off

 

[jlprk]

Just selling his performance and the team. Salesman talk.

 

[Blazinaway]

Neil is touting "developing Crabbe" to a 75 mil player - that's a friggin piece of flaming BS

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I don't understand why people can't voice their displeasure on this board without people sitting there like "Dude. Breath. You're too low. It's not worth getting so salty about."

I'm voicing my displeasure, and you don't agree. That's okay. Doesn't mean Im that worked up about it.

What I actually said was I'm not gonna care about wins and losses anymore.

I not trying to silence anyone. You made your point. Which I encourage and am fine with. I just don't get the 3 or other statements that essentially say the same thing. What do they add? Trying to reinforce your point? Not seeing why that is needed personally.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Never said to dump Crabbe. I am saying paying him that amount of money has fucked us. Fact

And I am saying we can dump him, and therefore matching the offer, has not fucked us. It only fucks us if we can't get out of some of these big contracts. Until the day someone like Nerlen actually needs to get paid, we still have time. Neil could have gotten Nerlan (and so could many other teams) if he really wanted him. Crabbe can be moved

 

[jlprk]

Is this vague self-praise how he talks to GMs on the phone? It won't get deals done.

I just keep laughing/cryin at that comment, he matched a horrific contract and is taking credit for it?

 

[Blazers Roy]

Neil! ask Scalabrine if he wants Meyers' job!

 

[PDXFonz]

Heaven forbid people are upset with this dumpster fire of a team

Lol I don't think you know what that means

yeah, we'll see how "easily" he can be moved, I have serious doubts

 

[Cippy91]

He gets too obsessed with the guys he drafts. I mean this is the fucking issue. CJ and Dame home runs obviously. Meyers and Crabbe. We paid Crabbe an absurd amount. Meyers has been here for what? 4-5 years? and we are starting him? what in the living fuck? I don't want this guy as GM anymore, tired of this asset and flexibility talk. I get we kinda have to build through the draft because we aren't a free agent destination. Okay well take the best player from that and trade the other two picks for something you know you are getting.

What if the decision was ultimately Paul's and Neil is just taking the bullet?

 

[Blazinaway]

I have voiced this possibility several times, then he gets an apology from me and I think it's "possible" it went down that way

 

[KeepOnRollin]

The way sac handled that, anyone could've gotten him.

According to reports there were many teams ready to put in a offer for Cousins but SAC wasn't returning calls.

he did get Nurk done when not that many significant deals occurred this yr

 

[Natebishop3]

According to reports there were many teams ready to put in a offer for Cousins but SAC wasn't returning calls.

That team.... I wish they had more talent that could be poached, but it's a total dumpster fire.

 

[Scalma]

Olshey talked specifically about re-signing players they've developed and left out Meyers again.

 

[BonesJones]

He's proud he got to pay Crabbe that much, because we "developed him"

 

[Cippy91]

Yeah we developed him and he looked really good until he got paid and now he is EHHHHHHHHHHH

Neil about to be on Woj show

He's trying to save his own ass.

 

[Cippy91]

Most honest thing he ever said. Fucking actor, go back to LA try that shit again

 

[tester551]

What if the decision was ultimately Paul's and Neil is just taking the bullet?

If it's PA decision, then there are more PC ways of stating it. "We talked about it internally, and we decided to match".

 

[Scalma]

Seek therapy.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Olshey talked specifically about re-signing players they've developed and left out Meyers again.

Only contract he wants back imo. Not saying he shouldn't want the Crabbe one back as well just saying he doesn't feel that well.

 

[Chris Craig]

No moves at the deadline (not including the Nuric deal) means Olshey is putting a lot of weight on draft night/this summer. He's going to have to do a lot of work. Gms may come after our three draft picks, but they aren't going to want to take big contracts to get them. We are going to be left dumping contracts for nothing if Neil isn't careful.

I have to wonder if he is over valuing players and is asking too much in return for them.
