    He clearly has a direct pipeline to Chris Wallace. Perhaps in more ways than one...:pimp:

    Fuck that. I don't really care about his other articles.

    This one is poorly researched, cites unnamed sources for unsubstantiated claims of KP's supposedly bad character, and comes off as clearly combative in nature. If there's one thing I know, KP is a guy who exudes good character and accountability. He is being unfairly judged by this bullshit.

    I suggest you all to let this charlatan of a writer know how you feel here: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/feedback;_ylt=AgpASaQfspsSojCk5v3uFNzTjdIF?author=Adrian Wojnarowski

    The whole mess was just stupid. You could see it from Miles away, pun intended, that it wasn't going to work. This was a move I never expected from KP. He Pritch-slapped himself.

    What makes you think KP had anything to do with it? Larry Miller is KP's boss.

    KP's name isn't even on the email.

    Adrian Whatshisass is a clown who must have had his feeling hurt by KP at some point in time.

    The only thing worse than opinion columnists are lazy opinion columnists.

    For his journalistic efforts I hereby award him a date with Portlands own sweetheart, Tonya Harding. What a couple they'd make. A match made in heaven I say.

    Uncharacteristically stupid of KP pretty much every step he took in the Miles Saga, but the greed for cap space was more than he could control.

    It's what I've come to expect from Allen, whose "word" is simply a tool for deception in business dealings, but he should have kept KP out of it and let Miller take the heat.


    This would imply that some teams were indeed afraid to sign Miles before the threat was lifted:

    When his deal ends Monday, several league executives told Yahoo! Sports they’ll contact his agent about signing him.

    Memphis is expected to offer Miles a second 10-day contract, but there could be better opportunities for him.

    Anyone remember the last time we questioned or doubted what KP was doing?

    Yah, so now all the sudden we have Nostradamus' on the board (and in print) who are pulling stuff so far out of their asses, that it has a strange brown hue.

    Like it or not guys the Blazers lost a lot of respect by this whole fiasco.


    Hopefully in the end they can save face because if nothing is done, or they lose any attempt at a lawsuit they will look even worse.

    I don't mind losing respect for legitimate reasons if I am the Blazers. But because of a writer who is being fed false info by either Miles' agenst or Chris Wallace? Adrian
    WojoAssclown just lost a whole lot of respect from me. Yahoo Sports whiffed on their Reggie Bush story, and they are whiffing on this story. No wonder Yahoo is laying off so many people in Portland and also around the country.
