Olsheys MASTER Plan

[BonesJones]

This signing was dumb as hell. Sure Aminu can defend but the dude can't shoot to save his life. This was Olshey big plan? Overpaying a one dimensional bench player? I'm not a pessimistic fan and I've told some of you wait and see, but now we should say bye to Aldridge, because this isn't what's gonna bring him back. We're settling for Gerald Henderson and Aminu starting on the wings, and these guys are both downgrades that don't shoot well. Aldridge woo have no space to work and the lane will be insanely clogged for Dame. I just lost all my trust in Neil... it's over.

Good we don't need everyone on the bandwagon if they don't want to be. Maybe you will take a break from your constant trade proposals. It seems to be 90% of what you post. Peace out newbie!

 

[HailBlazers]

Free agency is over already? Wow that was fast.

Obviously you don't pay attention to what I post. I'm a die hard fan, not a bandwagon fan, and that's why I'm pissed.

It's a cheap replacement for Batum. In the new salary cap it's going to be a fucking bargain. Relax sugar britches.

Smh.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

WE NEED TO CLOSE THE FRANCHISE STAT.

 

[BonesJones]

Why do you guys love Aminu? He can defend but he can't do anything offensively! It'll hamper our spacing making things harder for Dame and LA. I know I'm overreacting bit it makes no sense to me. Someone please explain how this is a good deal

Aminu shot the three well in playoffs.

I believe our master plan is to bolster our defense. Who knows, maybe we keep Matthews and Aldridge and this would be a win off season.

He's fun to watch play, just wait. Always around the hoop.

He's young. He's a wing. He plays defense. Not everyone needs to shoot the three.

 

[e_blazer]

Good grief.

 

[KingSpeed]

Aminu was 7/11 from three in playoffs

Defense sure is going to be nice. Hustle plays. Our own Tony Allen.

It's not lik Batum shot the three well.

I don't know if it's a good deal, but somebody has to play the three spot for us. If not Aminu who were we likely to get in free agency?

Then again I think Olshey's moves look like a tear-down to me, so Aminu won't do anything to hurt that . . . from your OP it seems you thought LA was going to stay?

 

[magnifier661]

It's not lik Batum shot the three well.

Amen

 

[Schilly]

So tired of the sky is falling knee jerk reactions to everything. Makes this forum basically unreadable.

Like everyone else we've added in the past week, he's an athletic, above-the-rim player with a hard-nosed, blue-collar attitude. Surely you've caught on to the pattern.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

I would remove the keys from Mr. Olshey. I don't believe he knows what he is doing...,

I just wouldn't allow him to do anymore with this franchise.

Finally this can end your lust for 38 y/o Ariza.

 

[lawai'a]

still haven't had to renounce anyones bird rights yet

 

[BonesJones]

Is not like I don't like him as a player, I just don't like the price and how it knocks is out of the Monroe race. I think we could've had him for less. My initial reaction was bad and I posted here too soon.

 

[BonesJones]

I suggested him once. Now we need to find a 3 and D SG or SF that can create, but who's out there that does that?

Do you see us getting LMA back? I would say things are not looking good right now. So how many players do you see us adding to this team? I am thinking quite a few.
We had zero SF's on the roster. This is just one player. We still will have money for Tobias Harris if he actually wants to come here over the other 15 teams trying to get him. Aminu has been mentioned to Portland for the last few weeks. For the amount we paid for him I am pretty happy. We had to add a defensive wing

 

[Schilly]

It doesn't knock us out. You guys all did your math by dividing 30 by 4. The deal actually starts at about 7. Reports came out today that the cap is going to be about 2 mil higher than initially thought. We should have just enough to max Lamarcus and Monroe... Remember Monroe's max is lower than Lamarcus.

 

[MickZagger]

30 year old Ariza who was arguably the Rockets best player in the playoffs this past year.

 

[Scalma]

Here's my question, who do we go after if Monroe signs elsewhere?
