The Portland Trail Blazers’ offseason did not go as planned, and General Manager Neil Olshey knows it.

Last week, reported that Markieff Morris was not talking to Suns management or teammates because he was upset that the team traded his twin brother to Detroit in order to clear cap space in an attempt to sign LaMarcus Aldridge. Well, it’s apparently gone a step farther as to kinda, sorta demand a trade. At [...]
