Pritchards done is this article is even half true.... WOW... Get ready...

how is it a dark turn???? easy.

1. Oden is a bust.

2. Roy and LA have regressed this year.

3. Rudy isnt happy and isnt that good anyway.

4. huge mess in front office.

5. even though i hate kpee... getting a new gm shakes up what looks like a stable upcoming franchise. its never a good thing when you have all this turmoil around you.

6. Nate wont commit

7. Allen is sick

8. We are fighting for an 8 seed with a franchise (rockets) who always screw us in the end. im very nervous about our chances.

9. this team has seemed more and more injury prone.

10. camby likely walks for nothing in a month.

 

I agree AW is a douche, but there is a LOT of smoke around this story from multiple sources...including a primary player (KP's agent)...

Also, FUCK Vulcan at this point if they screw up the Blazers again.

 

Why do these articles hurt me with their "mcmillan is strongly valued." Just.. one firing.. come on. COME ON!

 

lol.... everyones wrong.

its like a little kid who steals something and about 10 people saw the kid do it yet the mom (blazer fans) screams "you couldnt have seen this, my boy would never do that and i know it...aha ah its just not true."

like i said before sobering times ahead... sobering

 

Unfortunately for all involved you won't be around after the last game of the season to talk about it all during the playoffs and summer.

Now that's the true sobering part. Sobering. Sobering.

Sob.

Ering.

 

if they make the playoffs......

 

You wouldn't be sober if they didn't make the playoffs, would you? You'd be having a party and putting back the jobs in celebration, wouldn't you? I thought we were supposed to be having sobering thoughts, Mixum. Sobering.

I am disappointed at your lack of sober.

 

Mixum right or wrong, irrelevant. Why hate, he posted an article.
We have bigger problems here. I love what Pritch done with our team and it is said to see him in the middle of this mess. He did made some mistakes and looks like he doesn't have too much good will in the bank. No one came out to put out this fire, PA, Nate, Larry....IMO he is gone. There is way too much bad will between both parties. How come we have not heard from him?

Right or wrong we do not have all the info to give an educated guess. All I know if Paul screw this up again i.e. Adelman/Petrie, Trader Bob and now KP; I'll wait and see and if we are back to mediocrity I am off the wagon. Gave the Blazers 25 years to win one it is about time....

 

Proof you are nothing but a fucking troll. GTFO

 

I'm tempted to talk about how you're creating a straw man, but it would be lost on you.

Here's the way I see it...

Problem: KP is complaining that he doesn't make enough money.
Solution: Give KP more money.

It seems pretty simple to me.

 

It's the whole "I'm right and you're wrong. If you disagree with me you're a homer." shtick that gets old.

 

Where's the inside info coming from? LaGarie (sp?) is obviously feeding info trying to create sympathy for Penn and Pritchard. Do I fault him for doing this? No. Do I fault Penn or Pritchard for wanting to secure a more lucrative, long-term deal. No. In fact from what I'm finding, Pritch is underpaid. He was greatly instrumental in turning this franchise around, taking them from Jail Blazers back to The Trail Blazers.

Finding out that he undermined ownership's mandate on Roy and Aldridge's extensions is alarming. But, is this propaganda fed from Seattle down to the fans to help create support for Pritchard's firing? And for that matter was Pritch meddling in the Minnesota-Penn ploy or is that more "creative support" for ownership. The former I'm having a hard time believing.

One thing is certain. The fucking fairy tale is over. I'm a fan. I have been for a lot longer than some fans have been breathing. But I've gained a new perspective as I've gotten older. I've come to relish in the management style of the Blazers. Call me a homer if you want. I don't think I'm the only one that feels Pritchard is one of the brightest young minds in basketball. If that goes, I feel so will my support and interest.

I had no idea the Vulcans played such a huge role with this team. Sad day for me, man. Sad day.

 

As someone else pointed out, Allen, IMO, has allowed some very good basketball minds to leave Portland. Adelman, Petrie, and even Whitsitt, who I felt was very talented at what he did, and given the "culture" mandate would have turn the team around in a quicker/more successful way than PatterNash.

Fuck. I'm so upset by this whole situation. Gotta keep reminding myself. It's just a game. It's just a fucking game.

 

I don't know if this article is true or not: if it's not true i would hope for a strong denial shortly by Miller and Vulcan brass, even from Allen.

I know one thing: I never thought of Pritchard as being arrogant (maybe some of his fans though); has anyone who has met him personally thought he was arrogant?

 

I understand and agree... there are some posters who get a kick out of feeding/bait him.

 

No one other than Woj and his anonymous sources have called him "arrogant."

First thing KP needs to do is fire that flame fanning douche of an agent. Then work on setting things straight with PA, because he doesn't deserve this bad rep.

 

Nope. I've met the man and like him. Seems to me he's about as opposite of arrogant as it's possible to be.

Woj, however, seems like a major douche and has been on KP's case since the Miles letter incident. Whether the letter actually was instigated by KP or not, Woj has had KP in his crosshairs ever since.

 

THAT is what makes you not take him seriously?

 

Awesome post. Totally agree.

And the fact that we have to call these people Vulcans is making my fucking skin crawl.

Paul Allen has failed at everything he's ever done except being Bill Gates friend. I'm not sure why I expected differently this time.
