Olshey Interview on ESPN

[BonesJones]

Why would Denver just randomly give up #14 for #21 without any reward? Sefolosha isn't worth much currently.

Sefelosha they'd waive, he's unguaranteed. They want to shed Faried.

 

[Magoo]

You don't sound like a real fan...

You're right I'm not a fan of mediocre play. The last time this team went far was that era of the jail blazers.

Getting bounced from the first round every year isn't exciting for me. I understand getting a culture was their goal but what has that gotten us? I'll wait, nothing. It's a different nba now then back then when having season tickets ment something to me.

This team needs a a Rodman type on the court player. Until then my fandom of this team is a snooze fest.

 

[BonesJones]

I'm not against this, but who do you go after at #10? I'm not that much of a Faried fan, would this make Zach the starter at power forward?

Bridges or Sexton.

 

[Phatguysrule]

The only way someone sends a player to us for TPE is if they consider that player not useful for their purposes. How is that going to help us?

I'm literally going to vomit if we use TPE to acquire someone like Courtney Lee or Marvin Williams.

Add Marvin Williams to this team while giving Nurk and Collins another year of seasoning and we'll be a much improved team.

I mean, it doesn't put us in the title hunt, but that's a solid move.

 

[BonesJones]

No.

Why? Aminu and some of Pauls money this year isn't worth going from 24 to 10?

 

[BonesJones]

I get where you are going....but that would massively put the Blazers into the Lux Tax basically just for #10. Seems like a LOT to pay.

Its Paul. I don't think the payroll total matters at all to him. He's not going to refuse to mange a good move because of salary. People need to stop acting like that's a barrier.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Why? Aminu and some of Pauls money this year isn't worth going from 24 to 10?

If Paul wants to pay it I have no issue with him giving away money.

 

[BonesJones]

If Paul wants to pay it I have no issue with him giving away money.

I'm not going to take him possibly not wanting to pay as a factor, because I don't think it is.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I'm not going to take him possibly not wanting to pay as a factor, because I don't think it is.

I think he is against paying the luxury tax for mediocrity, if NO convinces him a move could put them in the dreaded “conversation”, I think he would have no problem shelling out
