If were gonna accelerate it, we're going too, but if we can't, we have to do things the right way.

Sounds like someone who tried to get George or Butler.

Franchise level building block. Neil isn't parsing his words. Gonna go down with this ship if he busts

 

[Strenuus]

Did he just say that he got flak for the Plumlee deal? lol. Most people were happy with it BEFORE we knew all about nurk... wtf?

From the players

 

[BonesJones]

Who'd he say is on a two-way contract?

 

[Strenuus]

Dwight Jaynes doesn't know basic things. LOL.

Tim (Quarterman)

From the players

Oh. That's fair.

 

[Strenuus]

Damn... that's a great point by Neil.

 

[Strenuus]

Neil being nice to the media? :MARIS61:

 

[illmatic99]

We don't have any money left, Paul is on an airplane right now.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Did the presser start with oops?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Did the presser start with oops?

Started with "Man, we really wish Tyler Lydon was there at 26... Zach Collins the Zag who played less than 20 mpg and an Orangeman in the same draft... would've been great"

 

[Pridan]

Neil was pumped to get Zach Collins, like legitimately excited. He honestly believes Collins could be something special.

I like what Neil said about bringing in guys that are competitors. You want to root for guys who are up for a fight/scrap!

 

[Dougnsalem]

Great vid! My favorite part- both of these big guys are "mentally tough". Lol. Guess they're not gonna make that mistake again....

 

[theprunetang]

Can't wait to see the new guys in jerseys!

 

[H.C.]

If were gonna accelerate it, we're going too, but if we can't, we have to do things the right way.

Sounds like someone who tried to get George or Butler.

Also sounds like they didn't go after a certain knick player because of Lillard/CJ voicing concerns about locker room issues.

He does his job well! Well, at least the sales aspect of it. I'm pumped after watching the presser. But I gotta watch some video and read some articles about Collins/Swanigan. Totally clueless about whatever hardship Neil was referring to that helped shape/strengthen Swanigan (?)...

Do you guys think they'll have the new Nike jerseys during their press conference?

 

[HailBlazers]

"The draft is not for quick fixes or positional need, the draft is for the long term."

Agreed.
