Neil Olshey Defends Recent Moves in Fiery Press Conference

Neil Olshey spoke with the media after draft day defending the roster moves and describing the last few days as a success.

Portland Trail Blazers General Manager Neil Olshey hosted a press conference immediately following the NBA draft. Olshey defended Portland's recent roster moves and refused to entertain any questions about free agency.

Olshey began by strongly denying the reports that LaMarcus Aldridge has informed the team of his decision. He claimed he speaks with Aldridge frequently, and remains intent to compete for his services. He did acknowledge that they expect a robust market and refused to answer any additional topics about the subject.
