Looks like "fungible" should now join "bifurcate" in the pantheon of Neil Olshey word-of-the-day submissions.

 

[B-Roy]

Who are the 3 expiring contracts he's talking about? Aminu, Curry and Layman?

Curry has a player option though and the only other expiring contract is Hood who they can't trade.

Ding ding ding "value to us"

The statement you made, it
is incorrect as stated
Hood could've been traded
just not aggregated.

Word...

I have no interest in other teams forum and what they say. It's irrelevant to me.

Yes. How true. If there is a Blazer fan universe we are definately apart from everybody else.

now, convert that to traditional Haiku

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

So Neil is saying he wasn't going to trade unless he could get the same exact thing back..? well ok.

Almost like pulling a string in his back... it's so fucking predictable what will come out of his mouth.

He really should add “lackluster” as it is so descriptive of most of his moves.

Post acquiring Hood
Trading him was possible
Alas, not with friends

Yea but who are we talking about. I would have been more pissed if he would have included Jake in a package for someone like Mirotic, but OK for someone like Harris.

Guys trust me we had BIG deals on the table.

Let’s say he’s not bullshitting, that’s gotta be Blake, right?

Mr. "We were thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis close"

 

[B-Roy]

Hahahah "big" deals. It's literally clock work every year.

well, I think he's bullshitting but the way he reviewed the Hood trade, a BIG trade could have been Harkless + 1st for Mirotic. To him, that's a big trade, and even if the Pels immediately dismissed it, it was still on the table till Mirotic was traded

He said the money in the proposed deal(s) was “astronomical.” Doubt it was Mirotic. Blake makes the most sense.

 

[lamlor]

He said the players involved were never traded elsewhere so it doesn't sound like Mirotic since he was traded.

The new word he looked up to make himself sound smaaaart.

 

[CupWizier]

On a day like this I think it's best to let people vent and bitch. We will go later and merge everything.

But that is every day here.

 

[lamlor]

Seriously, how does this man keep his job? He pretty much threw Paul Allen under the bus by saying saying he grew an attachment to certain players and wouldn't include them into deals. I call BS. He just couldn't get the deals done just like this year.

Holy shit it's a real word. Thought it was a GWB special

 

[Pinwheel1]

Yea that would be my guess. Basically 2 unwanted salaries and Aminu and a 1st for Blake's astronomical salary.
I don't doubt he offered something like that

 

[Natebishop3]

Neil is legit the guy who walks around with a clip board to look like he's doing something important.

 

[B-Roy]

Neil Olshey the type of guy to think a deal has a 50% chance of going down even if the other team hasn't returned his calls in a week.

Maybe by 50% he meant the odds of them returning his call.
