    It's like a game of telephone. Little details changing here and there. Pretty soon Barfo will be responsible for that email.

    Maybe he is...

    Thorn is the biggest douchebag in the league and that's saying a lot because there are a lot of other douchebags. I would have done the same thing to Thorn. He has done it to us for years and deserved some of his own medicine. Fuck Thorn!!!!!

    Fuck Thorn. He fucked us over on a SAR deal a few years back. I hope we screwed him over good.

    Hmm. This sounds familiar.

    Oh yea! A few years back, the Blazers thought they had a done deal to trade SAR to the Nets, and Thorn derailed it by trying to change the terms at the last minute.

    Not that I would ever accuse KP of anything as trite as payback.....but Chris Wallace might want to sleep with the light on for awhile.

    Nice guys finish first.

    Oh, wait.

    If people like you because you are kind and sweet, they would never step all over you if you are in the way of what they want.

    Oh, wait.

    I take it KP doesn't give a rat's ass what the self-appointed chattering classes in the media think of him.

    Was he annoying? Sure.

    Is KP oblivious to it? I don't think so.

    He was suspiciously talking "too much".

    I think he was trying for the Grand Slam (ie Caron Butler), and had to talk the value of his assets and all the many options he supposedly had in order to flush out the best offer(s) possible.

    Didn't work.

    Media hates him even more.

    That is KP's job. We want toughness and thick skin in our players. Why not from our GM?

    You think Thorn was "dicked around" by KP?

    Maybe. But, I doubt Thorn would put up with much.

    However, the entire league knows that Thorn is a HUGE dick in trade talks. Well established.

    So, yeah, whatever. No sympathy for Thorn - who FUCKED us over on the SAR trade back in the day - who is a big boy and can take care of himself.

    It was also rumored Thorn backed out at the last minute on RJ for Zbo and we ended up with Frye.
