Mere minutes before Aaron Larsuel and I recorded this week’s episode of “The Hook,” word dropped that Neil Olshey had finally been terminated by the Portland Trail Blazers. As fans of the sport as much as the teams we root for, we both celebrated the news.
At the end of the day, Damian Lillard will finally be able to embark on the next chapter of his career without one of the worst executives in the league holding him back. This, in and of itself — and even aside from the toxic work environment Olshey was allegedly responsible for — is worth getting excited about, regardless of who you root for.
