In discussing why Portland let Ed Davis go —and recommended he sign with Brooklyn, Blazers GM Neil Olshey talked about how difficult the move was, but also how the 6’10” back-up center didn’t fit the NBA game, or at least Portland’s version of it.
“As productive as Ed was, there was certainly limitations in terms of what it exposed us to defensively by an elite defensive team like New Orleans,” Olshey told the Portland media Friday. The decision, he hinted, was made easier after the Pelicans swept the Blazers in the first round back in May.
