Message: [QUOTE="shandeezy7, post: 4702340, member: 720"] To be fair to my fellow Le Moyne grad, Neil Olshey, the Blazers were pretty bad before he arrived in 2012. They hadn't won a playoff series since 2000. He was responsible for drafting Lillard (perennial All-NBA, future hall of famer) , McCollum (borderline all-star caliber guy) and Anfernee Simons (above average starter that just signed a $100M extenstion). You're right that there were trades that didn't work out and misses in free agency, but Portland is a small market team that is never going to be a free agency hot spot, which is probably a big reason why they held onto McCollum for too long.
