"Said one Western Conference GM of Pritchard on Saturday: "(Bleep) that guy, he's walking around rubbing everyone's nose in the deals he's made and even with all those lottery players his team is still not in the playoffs." Cause in all honesty theres no excuse for him to miss the playoffs. if these guys are so good, roy, oden, and akdridge....then we should at least get to round 1. sorry but the western gm is right. kp gets tons of praise but lets face it....its time his moves showed on the court and not just speculation on just how good this team is or will be. i heard the same thing about the "baby bulls" and look how that turned out. seriously its time for KP to make a move to put us in the playoffs. however, after reading that quote above...i wonder if anyone will trade with us. seems like we have become despised throughout the NBA.
I wonder which GM said that. And is KP really that cocky, bragging about his deals? It doesn't sound like him.
I bet Pritchard is really not at all tired. In fact, I bet he wishes that more teams would freak out over what he did. You have to admit, it can be intimidating. Just when you think you can screw over a team, that team politely reminds you that their owner is worth 15 billion. Wouldn't you want to not piss them off? Some are probably thinking "shit, leave me out of this, junior!". I think it's possible that people are just over reacting to things. like fans do all the time. this isn't something they just thought up on a whim. Is that what you honestly think? I don't think a minute went by without the Blazers consulting the right people. After all, this isn't a game. I trust KP, Penn, Miller and even Paul Allen. They haven't done anything that would be cause for me to doubt them. It is entertaining, regardless, don't you agree?
Remember, Canzano is now a legitimate source since he has poured oil on KP and set a match. KP, run from this city as fast as you can. These people are nuts!
Whether or not that's true (and, of course, you have no idea), his job isn't to be liked by other GMs. GMs aren't going to turn down deals that they think will help their team just to spite Pritchard.
What is with these anonymous GMs? If they feel so strongly as to call KP names and denigrate him in front of media personnel, why don't they have the balls to come out in public and say it?
That would be the ultimate in Pritchslapping. Teams so desperate to get him back that they decline to make their own teams better, "just to show him." I wouldn't hold my breath, if I were you.
Totally. And/or poor reasoning skills. When was Portland reasonably expected to make the playoffs with "all those lottery picks"? This is KP's third year, right? I guess he COULD have made it last year, and if the Blazers were in the East we would have... but give me a break. Jealousy. Sour grapes. Wussy quote. Ed O.
