Why live in paranoia just because some idiot does something stupid?

If my house was ransacked when I wasn't home, doesn't mean I'll never leave my house again.

Why put yourself out there unnecessarily? She is making herself a public figure when she doesn't need to be. There are a lot of crazy mother fuckers on the internet :devilwink:

Now that I think about it, you're right.

Bitches just shouldn't have twitter!
 
Did he dump Warren LaGarie as his agent?

Also, will David Stern cancel trades to the Lakers to help out Portland now?

He acquired CP3

Now it's time to acquire Rondo

He acquired CP3 after Stern canceled a trade to the Lakers for Paul.

Didn't Stern only cancel that trade because the owners flipped the fuck out?

Stern canceled the trade, regardless. The Clippers backed into CP3, and he hasn't signed an extension with them.

Clock starts now, Olshey. Picking Griffin #1 and backing into LaGarie are his major accomplishments.

Did he hire Del Negro?
 
Interesting..

from Chris Haynes.

One thing to keep in mind: Olshey and Trail Blazers interim head coach, Kaleb Canales, share the same agent – Warren LeGarie – and that should definitely help Canales' cause.

Haynes is an idiot for thinking that

Haynes sucks
 
Treaty_ of_ Batum-

What is funny is how quickly blazer fans will drink the water of any mirage presented cause they thirst for direction sooooooo fucking badly!

Sloan was a big name hire 10 years ago when he had Stockton and Malone and the Blazers still beat them! We beat them when they had Deron Williams too!That to me isn't a step up.... It's a PR stunt to get season ticket holders to renew and hope they aren't smart enough to know the difference between then and now. Jerry Sloan is a 70 year old guy, how much energy do you think he has left? Your 70's aren't the easiest years to work 18 hour days.

Hiring the Clippers ex gm just showed how PA got worked yet again. This guy used the Blazers to ramp up his paycheck. Even if this guy turns out to be amazing like KP, how long will it be till Mr. Crazy Allen fires him for GOD only knows what? Track record says 14 months? Any takers?

Now let's go overspend for Nash and really fill the we don't know basketball quota! HAHAHA! I'm out!
 
“I am very pleased to have Neil as our new general manager,” Blazers owner Paul Allen said in the statement. “He has the skills and the vision to successfully guide our organization into a new era of Trail Blazers basketball. He’s proven that he can quickly turn around a franchise, and we are confident he can do that in Portland.”

This concerns me a bit
 
Quickly means trading the picks for a 27 year old "immediate help" veteran.

Shit!

Why? Neil dramatically changed the Clippers roster in two weeks and it resulted in them making the 2nd round for the first time in eons. Dude can flat out get deals done.

It's great, and I am being serious, that he can get deals done. He flat out got lucky with Paul, and our team has very little talent. I am nervous we will see our picks traded for a guy like Iggy
 
I'm laughing my ass of at all you haters! Today is a day for the true fans to celebrate this great hire.

I'm wondering what kind of autonomy Olshey's going to have. I hope he has free reign.

No such thing. But I bet Paul trusts him a bunch, or he wouldn't have hired him. Word is Paul just wants to be convinced by someone who he trusts.

No fucking way Olshey hires Kaleb. None. Olshey is well connected in the league. I predict we'll be happy with his hire.

Edit: Oh, yeah. Fuck Chris Haynes! He bummed me out, LOL.
