Please post the quote from Ollie. That's an unsourced quote from someone who thinks Ollie feels that way.

Are you serious? How about you find the quote where Ollie says he won't listen.

I don't want him to go and I don't think he'll go. No idea why you are jumping on me.

I don't need to find anything. You said that Ollie said he wouldn't rule out an NBA move. Then you provided two links without a quote from him. He hasn't told anyone in the media that he's interested in the LA job or the Warriors job or anything else. All we have are unsourced quotes from mystery characters.

Like I said, "Nope"

He hasn't said it, or at least not publicly. An unnamed source is not Ollie saying it.

 

[BiasedUConn]

My source close to the team says he's staying

I understand what caw and Bruce are saying. So a source "close to Ollie"(but not Ollie) said Ollie said it. That could mean nothing. But Ollie never debunked that quote that has been going around for days either. We all know why he hasn't and I assume we all don't blame him one bit. This is a negotiation strategy that KO is allowing this to work to his advantage. We all think he is staying.

The quotes don't even say that Ollie said it. They say that he feels that way. The quoted "source" (if it is, indeed, a real person, rather than an invention of the "reporter") may simply be offering his opinion on what he thinks will happen, or be repeating something he supposedly heard from someone else. The only person who has gone on-record on this is Ollie, and he said there's no meeting. I believe that.
