Neil Olshey promised a very aggressive offseason?...

[jlprk]

We drafted Dame last summer... you don't think he boosted our winning percentage immediately?

We dropped from .424 to .402. McCollum won't make as much difference as Lillard because we have SGs, but did not have a PG. And the posts I answered were as much about Olshey's picks other than those two.

I think One Center Court will start getting pretty exciting on the 11th, or after Dwight decides where to go

The draft builds us long-term; free agency does immediately. To keep Aldridge, we can't tank next year.

So whatever Olshey did in the draft doesn't compensate, if he fails this month. June and July are two separate things.

I agree 100%.

You are the wisest person on the board. I enjoy every one of your threads.

If anybody thought that the Blazers would be serious players for the top tier free agents then they let themselves be lead astray by promises generated by a marketing pitch. The best avenue for improving a small market team with impact players (outside of the draft) is via trades and those aren't likely to happen in great number until the big dominoes start to fall in free agency -- namely Dwight Howard and Josh Smith.

I heard that Chris Paul wanted to sign here until he heard that John Canzano demands to go on a date with all new acquisitions.

Yeah I heard that. Apparently the same thing happened with Lebron a couple of years back too.

While Olshey is sitting on his hands.........

The rest is moot because you've just lost all credibility in this post.

 

[BBert]

Doesn't mean that he is either.

Yes, it's possible Olshey is vacationing in the Bahamas, stroking his fiddle, while One Center Court burns.

Wait. No it's not. He's doing his job. Whether he cons some other GM into giving him a deal that makes the Blazers better is yet to be seen. But he's working on it. Christ.
