The word was Paul was the one adamant about matching BRK's offer. So perhaps that should be: Stupid Paul Allen.

In any case, Neil was given a Mulligan when BRK was still willing to take Crabbe off our hands. Neil has obviously learned from his mistake and picked up a replacement on a minimum non-guaranteed contract.

If you're going to bash Olshey for matching BRK's offer sheet to Crabbe, you should be consistent and praise him for signing Morrow (and drafting Dame and C.J. and trading for Nurk).

If it were Allen, then I'd just change it to stupid Paul Allen. Whoever was responsible for last year's signings is stupid.
 
Finally, some basketball news. Not a bad pickup for an end of the bench guy that can come in and hit a shot occasionally. Not the 'Anthony' we thought we were going to get this offseason, eh? Is Pat on his way out?
 
I like the signing. He should get a lot of open looks on this team.
 
Morrow will easily make this team (although Napier is better). That means that 2 of these 3 won't: Connaughton, Goodwin, and Briscoe. Goodwin's better than Connaughton at everything except shooting, so with a shooter like Morrow, Connaughton may be out, to balance the skills of the 2 substitute SGs.

(For team balance, each position should have 3 players, so Briscoe would stay. But that quiet Reno wedding between Olshey and Leonard means that Leonard will be here until the year 2030, so only 5 guards will make this team.)

Olshey finally did something right. He signed one of the many experienced, low-paid, free-for-the-taking players who are always available, yet better than half of the Blazers. It's an automatic "duh" to every GM except Olshey.

He can draft, but he can't trade. After losing Aldridge and not getting blamed, he did a quickie patch job for a week, then became self-satisfied and stopped patching for 3 years, except when he was forced to trade a starting center for a substitute injury-prone one.

Blazer fans love youth, losing, and breathless dreams of a Golden Future. Every other team knows that if you overbake a cake, it's inedible. So I switched allegiance to the Utah Jazz.
 
It'll take a season to learn my team. (No, Denny, I don't want to moderate that board.)

I'm shocked Morrow was still on the market, and we got him so cheaply. Assuming he makes the team, talk about a bargain.

Seems legit. If there's anyone who doesn't embody youth and dreams of a Golden Future, it's the Utah Jazz!
(You can't fool me, though...their assistant coach Igor Koskorov -- University of Belgrade shout-out! -- is your new cause celebre, right?)
...and welcome back

Huh? Switch sides like that huh? Weirdo
 
This reminds me a lot of the D Wright signing in 2014 or whenever it was. Small signing that could pay unexpectedly big dividends. Wright was no world beater that year but had a meaningful role on the court and in the locker room.

I think i'm getting rid of Davis before i let go of Connaughton.
Davis was just dreadful this past season. We won't extend him.
 
Wow, Deron Willilams is still a FA? I don't recall a guy whose career feel off a cliff so fast. His career started plummeting at age 28. And the Jazz lost Jerry Sloan over him.
 
Our old pal Sergio Rodriguez return to the nba only lasted a year. I'd have liked him to compete here as a 2nd or 3rd string PG

This is exactly why I hated the Crabbe signing, as I told so many on this board, you can get a spot up shooter of Crabbe's ability for ALOT less than 18 mil per year.

Stupid Neil Olshey.

It's like you can't see the forest because of all the trees.

We paid for Crabbe's potential. We paid for what we thought he could become. Then we cut our losses when it was apparent Crabbe wasn't gonna earn that money here.

I'd be interested to know how you voted.

He's numbers weren't that bad tbh . per36:

That's not horrible efficiency.
Plus - he's cheap, Pacers offense sucks and he was a 15 points starter just a year before.

And now we'll be paying Andrew Nicholson 3 mil through 2023. So Olshey didn't get off it Scott free. And this is like saying an investor made a crappy investment with your life savings, but he really did a good job because he only lost 10% of your money before getting out of it, and it was about the POTENTIAL of the investment. The fact remains that he made a bad investment.

Glad to see you back on here, you didn't miss much this summer. Maybe you could have two teams to root for?

Agree with you here. It was a very bad move.

Dviss1 is a big NO supporter. It's like he can't do anything wrong.

One can understand why the move was made, but not agree that it was a good move.
