With NBA free agency around the corner and the Portland Trail Blazers in need of roster help, Portland Trail Blazers President of Basketball Operations Neil Olshey is facing considerable pressure. Franchise star Damian Lillard wants to win now. The Portland fan base wanted to win yesterday. Olshey’s ability to bring in players could make or break the Blazers’ season and his reputation.
With so much on the line, Olshey’s past performance at assembling talent is worth a second look. He is set to enter his tenth season in Portland as the fourth-longest tenured general manager in the league.
