How the fuck can 6 people, who suposedly are Blazer fans, vote to keep Olshey?

Here's the problem.... I don't think it's entirely on Olshey. I think it's a combination of Paul and whoever he has as GM.

What makes you think that the next guy he hires is going to be any better than Neil or Cho or Patterson or Nash or KP?

Cho was fine. His plan was a good one
 
At this point I'd be willing to give someone else the keys.

Six years is a really fair amount of time to pick a viable direction aside from mediocrity, and I'm not sure that Olshey has been able to do that. What's worse is that his mistakes are really handicapping us from going in any other direction at the moment. It will probably now take a fresher, more objective pair of eyes to move forward from them.

Interesting theory..... go take a look at the Hornets roster and let me know if you'd like to swap teams.

Just heard an interview in which it was disclosed that Cho insisted on the Hornets drafting Malik Monk, while Jordan really wanted Donovan Mitchell. Also said that Cho probably will be fired within the next few months.

Look at the roster and salary situation when he was hired and then look at where it is today. That’s all he should be judged on. I don’t care about circumstantial factors, a good GM shows a clear plan and path towards improvement and I see none past buying into the Collins hype. I’d give him till draft day to make something happen then he’s gone.

I know all you realists, aka pessimists, aka experts hate the word Potential. But if Collins and Nurk reach theirs by 2020 I think we're good.

It's becoming more and more apparent that the whole goal has been for a while to throw in towel over the next couple of years. Which is kind of sad, but also, understandable. I just want to know is when did Olshey realize he had MASSIVELY screwed up.

I would say when LMA left for nothing, but Massively probably occurred with the Turner/Meyers reality.

Sounds about right.

I'm tired of draft picks. We didn't need two more rookies last summer. That was a huge mistake in my opinion. Neither one of those guys were ready to step in right away and contribute.

We offered the picks and Harkless for Paul George. Can't make Indiana take the deal.

MASSIVE misses on talent evaluation both in players he signed and in ones that got away like Hibbert and Parsons. Tied to closely to most of the players he drafts and I've yet to see a really good trade out of him. The Nurkic deal looked great last year but not nearly so good anymore.

Nurkic is the third scorer we needed and he'll get better and we got a pick that we packaged with our pick for Collins.

So- for Steve Blake and RHJ, he got us Nurk/Collins/Connaughton.

And for Batum we got...and for Will Barton and a draft pick we got...and for 17mil a year we got...etc...you see the scale tilting?

My usual stance: keep him until you've lined up a better option. I don't think Olshey is a terribly great GM, but I do think you can do worse, so this isn't a "get rid of him at all costs" situation.

Very Sensible.
 
We need a GM that will take a take a cold, calculated look at this roster and make moves to improve the team. Dame won't tolerate another year of this garbage roster as we wait for some miracle of expiring contracts in 2020. You got to stretch some of those deals or attach them with our pick this summer at the very least.
 
I hate the narrative that it's a forgone conclusion the Warriors are winning the next 2 championships so lets just sit this out. That's the thinking of the Sacramento Kings. We need to act like the Rockets or the Thunder.

What if Dame is the one who wanted to keep roster as is... maybe that’s what he told Paul Allen in meeting... who knows

Meant to say "keep or fire?" lol

Just wanna see where the forum stands on this buffoon.

I don't understand how people can't have an opinion either way on keeping him or letting him go...Are these people Swiss? Let's say you have a gun to your head and you have to choose between firing him or keeping him...Which would it be?...Come on all you on the fence people...take a side!..

I can confidently say he's not happy with the roster. Sure he likes them personally, but he asked how the team could improve in the meeting with PA (these were Lillard's own words). Safe to say, the only thing that improved today was the Allen's bottom line.

I see what youre saying, but Dame is literally the only thing separating us. They havent had that high pick in a while

Eh.....

They're paying Dwight 23.5 million for this year and next year.

They're paying Batum $22 mill, $24 million, $25.5 million, and finally $27 million over the next four years.

They're paying Marvin Williams $13 million, $14 million, and $15 million over the next three years.

They're paying MKG $13 million each of the next three years.

They're paying Cody Zeller $12 million, $13 million, $14 million, and $15 million over the next four years.

That all happened under Cho. So while our financial situation isn't great, their is worse because their two most paid players are fucking Dwight Howard and Nic Batum. Our two highest players are Dame and CJ.
