You mean Pritchard wanted to trade one of our young players, and the coaches wouldn't let him? Wasn't it just yesterday that KP said he didn't want to trade any of our young guys? Ah, yes, that old KP is a master of double-talk.
If true, I'd say Travis as well. Though that would essentially kill any deal we were looking at since Travis was mentioned in nearly every rumor.
If the report was true, and, if it was Nate driving it, I would guess one of the vets: Blake, Outlaw, Joel. Nate is sick of young players. And, Nate depends (too much imo) on Outlaw to bail out the offense, such as it is.
If this is true, you can pretty safely assume that it wasn't Blake that McMillan was insisting we hold on to: -Pop
My source says the real reason we didn't get Gerald Wallace is not because KP wouldn't give Charlotte Batum, but because Nate wouldn't give them local boy Shavlik Randolph.
Webster is out. Roy is not a Small Forward. Travis failed as a starting Small Forward. What other options did the GM leave the coach? Roy and Aldridge are mature young players that know how to play. They can and will get better, but they are already better than most. No brainer there.
Please tell me that you simply forgot the green font (to denote sarcasm)... !? You've abso-fucking-lutely gotta be shittin' me, right!?
If this is true, and I doubt that it is, I would guess that the player was Bayless since he has a personal relationship with him.
True...but LaMarcus is worse points-per-shot and LaMarcus pulls down fewer defensive rebounds per 36 minutes than Travis.
If the coaching staff (re Nate) dissuaded KP from trading a certain player, it would not have been Batum or Bayless or Rudy, because KP wasn't about to trade one of them in the first place. I could buy that it might be Outlaw, since Travis has saved Nate's bacon more than a few times with late-game heroics, but I still think it's probably Blake. If true.
