Neil speaks

[Scalma]

Dammit he can sell.

But what I found interesting is when he started talking about the tax. The vibe I got is they plan on being a tax team, they just didn't want to start the clock now.

 

[B-Roy]

Fool me once shame on you, fool me 25 times......I guess I'm a fool.

 

[ripcityboy]

Those questions are more pruned than a White House Press Release.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

real tough questions brooke

 

[Natebishop3]

"our coaches did a great job developing him" on Vonleh....

[Scalma]

Wonder who he meant by "rental market." Probably Tyreke, Hezonja, or Belinelli.

Or Jordan.

 

[B-Roy]

Or Jordan.

You mean the Clippers didn't want Evan Turner and Meyers Leonard for Jordan?

 

[AFully22]

Lol it’s so funny I came into that thinking “alright Neil try to squirm outta this one” and left like “alright Neil but if these exxxtendagirth pills don’t work again ima be pissed”.

The man can talk, which is probably why he still has a job.

I have heard it before. It's not as impressive as it once was.

 

[Scalma]

Or Jordan.

That wouldn't have made sense as a rental.

LOL he sent them to Brooke.

"For Noah." Gimme a break.

 

[Mediocre Man]

He's nothing more than a glorified used car salesman.

I've met and talked to Neil a couple of times. He's as phony as they come

[TBpup]

After listening to that, he sounds like someone who could play a character on a soap opera.

 

[TBpup]

Collins with the McHale-esque type move!

 

[bemac]

Weird, he sounded like a guy responsible for running a company who evaluated the situation and made a business decision. One team made moves that will possibly improve their playoff position. One team made moves that will possibly improve their team next year. It seems pretty obvious that the opportunities weren't there. You stick with a young team that was not going to make a run this year and see what presents in the offseason. Sounds like a good plan.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Yes. McHale can't shoot threes either

The haters are too blind with passion right now to think about things like that.

Um, we all talked about that over the last few months or so, it's not alchemy. Let's all, for a second, acknowledge that that mess was of his making?

I've met him once. Would love to meet you some day. Compare and contrast.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

"our coaches did a great job developing him" on Vonleh....

Good thing. What if they didn't develop him? We'd have had to PAY someone to take him!

 

[BrianFromWA]

The haters are too blind with passion right now to think about things like that.

Regardless, I think that when people, rightly or wrongly, see that the super-over-the-cap-by-infinity Cleveland Cavaliers upgrade heavily, they ask why we can't...?

I just quoted one reason why they didn't. Another would be what Olshey said, there weren't opportunities available.

They’re a contender. We’re not, and there was no move to make us one today.

Here’s a question I have for those that are pissed; which player that was moved should Neil have gotten?

 

[B-Roy]

CRINGE

 

[BrianFromWA]

They’re a contender. We’re not, and there was no move to make us one today.

Here’s a question I have for those that are pissed; which player that was moved should Neil have gotten?

1) he shouldn't have had to give up an asset for nothing for the 2nd time this year. Which one of GSW, CLE, BOS, HOU, SAS, TOR, MIN had to do that?
2) his salary management has set it up that we have "tiers" of contracts, not a spread that allows us to be buyers every year.
3) fool's errand. of course we don't know what Neil said no to, or who said no to him. Were you expecting that we would?

Can you answer this one, though? Is the team better or worse today than yesterday? And is that what you want for your team?

 

[illmatic99]

 

[BrianFromWA]

that's actually a bit worse.

We don't want Frye? I mean, I guess one of the best-shooting big men ever to play the 4/stretch 5 off the bench for us for 7M wouldn't have been good.
I guess you can say you don't want Clarkson. I mean, he's a better Patty Ice, but he makes more. When you're worried about profit I can see that not being good.
I guess we don't need Isaiah with Dame and Cj, so you win that one, Neil.
Rodney Hood and Jae Crowder are about the fucking definition of what we need to round out this team.
