    if a deal doesn't happen I'm going to be severely disappointed. Oh yeah another draft where we take more young players. We need a damn veteran for fucks sake

    KP: "I betcha I had 1000 emails back and forth with paul allen in the past week"

    KP mentions his old favorite "culture"... it was an impact on deciding about deals... "As economics get worse, that may be better for us"

    KP wanted to avoid "making huge mistake". Risk was greater than potential trade options

    Re: (Merged) Noon Pacific/Post Deadline Thread

    Do we have a choice?

    I'm fine with that. It would have been exciting to get Wallace or one of the others, but I can't say I'm disappointed.

    This will give them more time to figure out how to get Chris Paul. :devilwink:

    wtf, would taking back Nazr or giving up Batum really have been that bad? Jesus Christ if that rumor is true we are stupid. Raef+Frye+whatever picks for Nazr and Wallace? Give me a break.

    Awesome. I love having a general manager who is scared shitless to make impact deals to take us to the elite level.

    Yes. KP's status just dropped several notches today in my book.

    The "So Disappointed/Gimmie Back my last 3 days" Thread

    Ike for Mike..are you kidding me?
    Yet we still have a PG and SF logjam and we have been sputtering the last month... :sigh:
    We could have really boosted our team in the short term without mortgaging our future and we failed, epically.

    Re: (Merged) Noon Pacific/Post Deadline Thread

    I wish that KP would give some information on what was actually available and why we didn't do this or that. I guess that is not possible as that would contaminate his relationship with the respective GM's. He could at least say that what people read on ESPN was not true, that there were bigger stumbling block not mentioned. Going by the information available to us, the lack of action appears to be a mistake.
