    I thought there were some interesting tidbits. Sounds like Nate's leash is still quite long. Greg is recovering according to schedule. Rudy isn't happy but didn't demand a trade. Batum playing in the World Championships and the Blazers can't stop him. KP and Allen haven't talked about KP's future.

    This is a Blazers message board....it seems silly for you to discourage posts that many fans may enjoy - especially when news can be hard to come by in the off-season.

    Typical KP fluff. Nate likes Euros? I think I'm calling bullshit on that one.

    Thanks for the link. KP physically looks much better than the last time we saw a swarm of media surrounding him.

    Yep, damn Nate for never giving Batum a chance to start!

    Yeah, the fact that KP is even holding his usual end of the year press conference could be considered news in its own right.

    I thought there was some REALLY interesting stuff in this interview. Such as...

    Reaction to the "Don't Ditch Pritch" fan movement

    Humbled. Again this is an amazing place and I'm honored to be a part of this organization. I know I wouldn't have this opportunity if it was't for Mr. Allen and specifically Nate and Tod and Larry. This is amazing organization. Don't lose sight of that....

    I read that as: Yeah the don't ditch the Pritch thing is great, but when I get shit-canned, don't be too pissed. It's still a good organization, even if I'm not there.

    Also, i get the general feeling that KP may be looking to loft a hail mary to get a BIG improvement this off-season. His comments were nothing like last year, when he was talking about icing the cake and whatnot.

    "Can we get involved I think is the question. We might be able to. "

    Do you foresee small changes or big changes?

    "Again, I want to be open to all the possibilities. I think it's still a little too early. I want to talk to the coaches. I want to talk to our players again. Be open to everything."

    He didn't say anything close to the last summer. I think we try to make a big splash in either the draft or free agency or both.

    Yeah, I read it the same way. And, as an advocate of a Big Move in light of getting one more season of information on our current core players, I'd be really happy to see one, so long as it's not a move borne of something like desperation.

    More Ainge than Whitsitt?

    More Buford than Baylor?

    More Pritchard than Thomas?

    I think I see what you're saying...

    He gave very politically correct answers. Good job KP!

    It sounds to me like it is "Bake it", but keep an eye open for a good deal.

    I like my job tator tot, and some of the other things you said, but the sex could be better. Maybe one day you will get your lips off KP's Johnson long enough to come back to reality.

    It's just a suggestion, but I'd hold this one in your back pocket for a few months.

    Whether he's fired or not has nothing to do with KP being the man. KP is just the man.
