    Not being combative, Brian just stated, on the morning sports page, that he hasn't spoken to Patterson in 2 years. Is he flat out lying?

    Poor Steve Patterson. The brilliant basketball mind who drafted Sebastian Telfair and Martell Webster suddenly gets it right in 2006 after a flurry of moves, and because Paul Allen, Nate, and KP wanted Adam Morrison (who was available with the Bulls pick at #2), poor Steve never got to enjoy the fruits of his big plan.

    Nevermind that this is the idiot who passed on Chris Paul and Deron Williams because he had Sebastian Telfair; I'm sure that was Pritchard's fault as well, right Brian and Steve?

    I believe Nash was the one who blew that. But Patterson could have overrode him. I remember hearing KP was screaming to draft Paul, but they went Webster instead.

    He's lied before. He's a PR hack. It's his job to lie.

    Indeed, which might explain why Steve Patterson is no longer the GM of the Trail Blazers.

    Any chance you could change your avatar to something less ugly. I literally get sick everytime I look at your posts.....and not the way I used to. :)

    Poor Steve Patterson. Forced to sign Darius Miles to a ridiculous contract by the owner, no authority or balls to overrule John Nash, and then he pulls off the draft of a lifetime and gets fired, which he tells the world about 4 years after the fact after sitting on this gold all the while. Oddly, a known PR hack parrots the same exact story, and he knew it all the while and even had opportunities to ask KP about it, on air, but chose not to until Pritchard was fired.

    This screams "credibility" to me. :)

    Bert Kolde's mug has a certain "want some candy, kiddo?" quality about him, doesn't it. :)

    It's odd. He looks like a cartoon character, but I can't put my finger on which one he reminds me of.

    What's funny about Patterson's story is that it has already changed regarding the 2006 draft. His first appearance was during the draft was on 1080 The Fan, and he said nothing about Pritchard wanting Morrison. He said that Paul Allen wanted Morrison, and that he was going to overrule everyone if Ammo was available with what ended up being the Foye pick. Now, the story has morphed to include Pritchard also being a Morrison advocate. Why didn't Patterson mention that last Thursday night when he first crawled out of his hole?

    One is Patterson's story, the other is Berger's ... why are they necessarily the same? Except your baseless claim that Berger is now handling Patterson as a client.

    I'm sure Patterson would absolutely love for you to believe that as well.

    What that he didn't overrule Nash in drafting Paul? Or that KP wanted Paul? I never said anything good about Patterson in this post.
