I know Vulcan, according to Canzano (yeah, I know), they feel that KP and his group didn't look into Greg's medical records far enough. The red-flags were obviously there. I also wonder how Paul Allen feels about Kevin Durant emerging into an MVP candidate in only his third year.
It really makes me wonder if KP didn't talk Allen out of Durant on draft day. Allen has a track record of loving scorers and shooters (eg. Martell).
Exactly. This has nothing to do with Oden/Durant or any other basketball moves. This has betrayal (or perceived betrayal) written all over it. Some how, some way Paul feels disrespected. This is all about EGO. KP has done a very good job, but if you piss of the boss it makes no difference.
Or maybe it was Nate who begged for Oden? Stop with the random assumptions, like KP dismissing Oden's medical reports. KP doesn't seem like the kind of person to leave any stone unturned. He clearly does his homework, and that's what makes him a good GM.
Look, I'm just offering up speculation and I never said anything about KP dismissing the medical reports. I'm sure Nate wanted Oden, but I think KP made no mistake about where he was leaning.
Exactly, but isn't it at least possible that Allen wanted Durant, but maybe got talked out of taking him first?
Well if we're just talking about speculation, I speculate that KP was torn between the two and went with Oden because that's who Nate wanted.
The Penn to Minny thing where they actually provided the Oregonian proof of an offer, financial terms included?
I wish Paul would just shit or get off the pot. the will he or won't he stuff is stupid. Be a man and either fire him now, or shut the hell up about it (or in this case, say something and then shut the hell up about it)
If KP was involved in trying to get Penn a better deal by exaggerating the truth, then he betrayed PA.
What if Penn actually had an offer from Minnesota, and what if Kevin Pritchard had absolutely nothing to do with the situation? I'll side with Pritchard over the morons that gave us Steve Patterson and John Nash. Besides, if Pritchard did as you suggest, then why not fire him immediately? What is the point of keeping him on board if you don't trust him, and he likely could be working for another team next season? It makes no sense.
