Pick one

[Rastapopoulos]

Imagine that these are your only options.
Oh, and let me stipulate that, for the first option, YOU get to pick which of the options on the table Dame gets traded for (Olshey is NOT in charge).

Presumably, Dame staying means that Olshey has somehow figured out how to make a move Dame is satisfied with, so I'll take that.

Really Raspy. Did you spend all day thinking this poll out. C'mon Mate, you can do better.

This is SERIOUS WEAK SAUCE

Amazing as it may seem, I don't give ANY thought to ANY of my posts on this board.

Now we know that ain't true. Many of your post are well thought out, though a little too snarky at times. And mine are probably a little too rosy at times.

This is where understanding punctuation is important. One comma and he'd be banned.

im kidding, i love to do some stupid things, cant help myself

 

[Mediocre Man]

Such an easy choice. We aren’t going to win with Dame. So we get to hit reset AND get a new GM.

 

[B-Roy]

I’m coming around to the idea of trading Dame if it can simultaneously oust this moron.

HEY!
...oh. You meant Olshey. Carry on.

 

[Mr. Robot]

i love dame and olshey is my guy, im keeping both for sure

 

[Buffalo Custard]

As much as it would hurt to see Dame leave, we are reaching the point where nothing short of a complete housecleaning is realistic. The current FO and roster are both flawed beyond repair.

And struggle for another 25 years.

As opposed to?

I know this, Dame is a fantastic talent that this team has only ran into a few times. I'm in what is likely, the last qtr. of life. I'd rather ride this out with Dame, because chances are, especially in the One & Done'er Era, I will not see a better Player or Leader on my favorite team again. So if somehow, just some how, Neil puts the right guys around Dame, at least there's the possibility of great things.

You are assuming that we replace Olshey with someone equally maladroit. Did it take the Clips 25 years to improve after Olshey left them?

Did they WIN anything?

The problem for me is the unknown after the Fire Olshey part. My fear would be getting a Vlade Divac type of GM who led the Kings to years of bad to mediocre with a rare playoff sighting as compared to the Blazers playoff level mediocrity.

Yes. I want Olshey gone but don't trust current ownership/management with picking a good replacement.

Hence, I guess I land in the keep both category. If Olshey is an expression of current management, I would expect a replacement to be similar (at best).

Just viewing the Blazer world with a highly jaded perspective.

I understand how you feel about Dame, but consider this. The Suns reached the finals with no individual player as good as Dame. The Hawks made it to the semis with no player as good. Both are teams that looked awful only recently. Basketball is still a team game and there are GMs who understand roster building better than Olshey.

Would they be better off if Olshey was still their GM?

That's a hypothetical, them not winning anything is a FACT!

So, you make a poll and then criticize the first actual vote?!
