[The Professional Fan]

So basically Olshey fucked up, and then in his unwillingness to do anything actually productive, undid his fuck up very slightly.

I don't see how it could be viewed any other way

 

[santeesioux]

Ugh

Olshey is surely gone this summer.

 

[Minstrel]

On the upside, Vonleh isn't that great. This was probably the easiest and least harmful way to get under the luxury tax line. (No one was going to take on Portland's actually bad contracts without sending some back.)

 

[blue9]

Okay. After being luke warm on Olshey, I'm now firmly in the FIRE OLSHEY camp.

 

[santeesioux]

So they're letting Shabazz go for nothing this summer, huh?

 

[BlazerBeav]

Rip City baby! I for one have renewed hope and excitement and am looking forward to being at the Moda Center tonight!

 

[SwissBlazer]

Milocan Rakovic is playing in Switzerland. Beasting but... you know... Switzerland.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Ugh

One thing we know is he doesn't know

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

So when Dame met with PA he had to have said "get that fucker Noah Vonleh off this team! I don't care if it means getting a European janitor in return!"

 

[BonesJones]

Okay. After being luke warm on Olshey, I'm now firmly in the FIRE OLSHEY camp.

Same

I agree.

 

[DDolla]

Neil Olshey is a joke! Can’t wait for PA to fire this guy

 

[tester551]

Okay. After being luke warm on Olshey, I'm now firmly in the FIRE OLSHEY camp.

Welcome to the club. More and more are starting to see him for what he really is....

 

[craigehlo]

What the hell are we holding a 1st round pick for? Adding more youth to this team that needs actual veterans? At least we can go through the same disappointment at the draft this June.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Jesus H C. Vonleh for a stash? Are we trying to save money or get better????

33 year old stash. Fuck, I'd rather have the Stache

 

[tester551]

So they're letting Shabazz go for nothing this summer, huh?

Yep. Don't get your hopes up that he will be retained by Portland in any way.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Ugh

Bam. As I said.

 

[Sarni]

Folks, we don't have the assets to do anything better.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Milocan Rakovic is playing in Switzerland. Beasting but... you know... Switzerland.

 

[BonesJones]

Yep. Don't get your hopes up that he will be retained by Portland in any way.

And if he is, Olshey will find a way to get BKN to offer him $20M a year and match it.

 

[andalusian]

Yep. Don't get your hopes up that he will be retained by Portland in any way.

The Blazers are getting into the tax next year if they retain Nurk, at that point, adding a bit more for Bazz might be reasonable. They avoided the repeater tax at least. That's something.

 

[Gronk Brady]

I’m definitely not buying another ticket this season... and I really hope Clippers take that last playoff spot... Neil is a coward

 

[BonesJones]

Folks, we don't have the assets to do anything better.

We have all our picks.
Aminu.
Davis.
Napier.
Some interest in Harkless.

Spoken just like Neil would say it.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[craigehlo]

Folks, we don't have the assets to do anything better.

1st rounders are highly sought after. We have one to use for leverage.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Olshey is surely gone this summer.

Should be gone today. Gives us a chance to get someone quicker

 

[Sarni]

What the hell are we holding a 1st round pick for? Adding more youth to this team that needs actual veterans? At least we can go through the same disappointment at the draft this June.

Draft picks is the only possible way to make this team significantly better. We need to luck our way to another Mitchell/Kuzma/Turner etc. because we are not getting anyone via trade that would make this team much better.

 

[DDolla]

I trade Olshey for Trader Bob!

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Funny to me that there’s still many on this board with any sort of hope or faith in this organization.

We are not well-run, folks. This organization is a total joke. Sorry to say.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Europe uses the metric system.

great, so he's 0.
