Olshey Extended!

[BlazerCaravan]

I don't care how tough it is. I said it before and I'll say it again: if he's going to be extended, a three-peat should be the minimum expectation.

Mags, just log into your own account next time.

Damnit, Platypus; first you want me to do my own research; now I gotta stick up for you. Denny and Minstrel: Platypus did not say anything about winning an NBA title or even getting into the NBA finals. He was talking about playing in western conference finals.

Why do you want to waste LeBron's prime? Gold medals or bust.

 

[HailBlazers]

We will need an apb out on OneLifeToLive.

Think I found him:

Love that you've got my back, but to be fair I'm pretty sure Minstrel was just mocking Denny's part in our kerfuffle by upping the ridiculousness level. The other guy, I can't speak for...

 

[THE HCP]

Hopefully there is a bonus in the contract if he trades Meyers Leonard before training camp starts.

You don't really mean that.

 

[BBert]

Oh my. Is he in the Houston area? I have fam there that had to evacuate. It's crazy.

Sugarland I believe

Excuses. You've got Platypus' excuses, not his back.

 

[Blazers Roy]

So I guess our biggest (only) signing of the off-season is Neil Olshey?

Yea, i can't help but think that our front office is pretty lazy right now.

 

[THE HCP]

Who would be in charge of re-signing him? The Vulcans?

 

[GrandJury]

This is great. Olshey is underrated who has been an above average GM. Drafting Lillard, Cj, getting Crabbe in the 2nd round, Barton in the 2nd round. The trade for Nurk, I could keep going from even his time before the blazers..

Trust me it's not his fault high level Free Agents don't want to come to Portland, Oregon. For a market like us we need a great talent evaluator and can identify under valued players

 

[Orion Bailey]

man, that was some funny shit! Denny, you have to admit it. You took quite the left turn, lol.

 

[tester551]

I'd say a handful but he is in the top 10, obviously no GM bats 1.000

I'd say he's closer to top 20

 

[TBpup]

Heck...he's signed on long enough he can offer Meyers another contract in 3 years.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I'd say he's closer to top 20

For sure. He's at least top-30.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Great signing, period.

 

[Trackjack]

He has done some good things as the GM. It does stable the front office for CJ and Dame era.

 

[riverman]

I'm a big fan of front office stability...glad to see NO extended.

To be fair, you could just post this in every thread.

True, you could make a happy bday MM thread and he would say find a problem with it.

I love it. He reminds me of my grandfather's sister (great aunt? ). We were making a family trip to the coast and I asked her if she was looking forward to it. She looked at me with a smile and said, "I don't care. I've seen it before. I'm 96 and will die soon so it doesn't really matter if I go see it again. The memory will just be wasted in a few months or whatever. It's just some water. "

She sounds like a natural to post here. You should suggest it.

I don't think she knows how to use a computer, so she will fit right in. If you see a WrinklePuss69 (she forces us to call her that) you will know it is really Myrna Pruner.

She makes you reference 69ing every time you see her? Hardcore.

In spite of your complaining, I find it heartwarming that you choose to honor your great aunt by using her photo as your avatar.

Dude, I just got home from work and I almost burst out laughing and woke up my roommate, careful!

 

[BlayZa]

he's worth extending, he's doing a solid job imo

 

[Voodoo]

This extenze-sion has got Neil's needle moving.

 

[Sinobas]

Please tell me you realize how ridiculous you are for arguing the validity of my initial question by changing it to a completely different question!!

• PtldPlatypus--Will the Blazers reach the Western Conference Finals before Olshey's tenure is done?
• Denny Crane--How many teams will?
  
• PtldPlatypus--At least two each year. Shouldn't we expect the Blazers to be one of them at least once during Dame's prime?
• Denny Crane--Not really. Warriors are going to be one of them for a while, and whatever team LeBron is on, too.
• PtldPlatypus--Lebron's going to be in the western conference finals?
• Denny Crane--Finals. WCF is like kissing your sister.

Boys and Girls, this is what a strawman looks like. I talk about one thing--Denny argues against something else entirely.

Denny--can you please do me a favor? If you're not going to actually discuss the question I'm asking, please don't waste my time by responding to questions I ask.

That wasn't really a strawman. A strawman is when you make an argument against a stance the other side isn't taking.

Your question implies measuring success based on reaching the WCF, Denny's response implies that the Blazers probably won't, but how many teams will (since GS is almost a lock for awhile). So he was answering your question.

Re-read--he was talking about reaching the NBA finals, not the WCF. So yes, he was arguing against a stance I didn't take.
