Could Portland Trail Blazers general manager Neil Olshey be the guy who saves the New York Knicks?
Maybe.
While he is happy with the Blazers, a person close to Olshey says Portland may not be his last stop, according to Marc Berman of the New York Post:
Yes, Olshey is happy in rainy Portland, but one person close to him says the Blazers may not be his last stop. He’s 54 and believed to be among the NBA’s top-five highest-paid executives.
“He’s got full autonomy here to run things as he sees fit and he’s pretty happy with his salary, I think,’’ the NBA official said. “He’s never going to be a huge fan of retiring in Portland as a city, so maybe this isn’t his final destination. But he’s not a big media guy even if he’s a big-city guy in some ways.”
Olshey has been with the Blazers since 2012. Before joining Portland, he was with the Los Angeles Clippers from 2010 to 2012.
Why would Olshey leave the Blazers to become the architect of the Knicks, who have been a walking disaster for years under owner James Dolan? Maybe for a new challenge.
This is all speculation at this point. It appears, at least from afar, that Olshey has no intentions of leaving Portland.
