    He won't need to be a starter...the guy is a great bench rotation player when you need to hold a lead

    If true I'd fire anyone for that. Your personal grudges aren't more important than your company.

    I can't help but think it's Quick, the king of grudges, making shit up to try and get Pritchard fired. Has anyone more credible reported it?

    Who knows? Pritchard's boss can find out easily enough.

    Perhaps I should have been more specific - he was never a great starter as the centerpiece of a team. He would have been a great starter as a 3rd option, and possibly even as a 2nd option.

    This money will probably come from jersey sponsorship spots. It's coming and the cap will go up and up.

    Thing is it's not just the blazers that evidently made a better offer than what the pacers eventually took.

    He's got two years left on his deal. No need to worry about re-signing him yet.

    Some of that may be timing, but at any rate, it kills the "Portland grudge" notion, doesn't it?

    NBA contracts are out of control.

    Doesn't kill the incompetent notion.

    Not necessarily. Boston's offer was the best that was reported. Ours was 2nd out of the reported offers. Then KP did what he did. That IMO reinforces the "Portland grudge".

    I watch Bam from kentucky play summer league game this morning. 14pts 10 Reb 3 block he look good. Monk didn't play due to ankle injury.
