Re: KP FIRED! (merged) They're saying the same things we've been saying. Good on them. But does anyone REALLY think KP's being fired for picking Oden? It seems like a red herring. Ed O.
Re: KP FIRED! (merged) Yeah, the entire world agrees that this is just mind-boggling. And yet a few dipshits on here think they know better. Total bullshit.
Re: KP FIRED! (merged) The poor ESPN analysts are clueless about Pritchard's firing because they don't realize that Paul Allen is a very unstable, incompetent, and irrational man.
Re: KP FIRED! (merged) Obviously, there's no "good" timing, but there's bad, worse, and worst possible. This was worst possible.
Re: KP FIRED! (merged) I'm sure Woj was pulling out the tweezers so he could attempt to beat off after he heard this news. Willl he be Wark's sex slave for making this happen?
Re: KP FIRED! (merged) "Kevin, you're going to be fired immediately after the draft. I you want to leave the room, Born and Buchanon will be fired as well." Paul Allen is a flaming pile of shit.
Re: KP FIRED! (merged) The common person outside of Portland might think so. But, we've all witnessed the "little" things where Nate and Kevin clashed. It got so bad, that they both once said, "We've agreed to disagree". That's a clash, any way you look at it. One of them had to go, and Paul Allen loves Nate. Paul Allen might have even blamed Kevin Pritchard for Nate turning down a contract extension, which may be true for the reason Nate turned it down. One of them was definitely going to be fired. I think we all knew it. I think most of us are surprised it wasn't Nate. This also opens up Paul Allen to re-offer Nate a contract extension. Bet that offer comes within 3 months now that Pritchard's gone.
Re: KP FIRED! (merged) With Paul Allen's "gift" for timing, they'll probably announce Nate's contract extension tonight after the draft during the "Pritchard is fired" presser that is scheduled. That way, Nate can be blamed for running Pritchard out of Portland.
Re: KP FIRED! (merged) Hahaha, I had to read that three times before I realized you were talking about the Blazers. I thought you were saying you were a fan of Paul Allen. I was confused.
Re: KP FIRED! (merged) 2 top 10 guys??? WTF is he talking about? Babbitt might be a useful back-up (key word being "might"). Williams will be buried so deep on the bench it takes sonar to find him.
Re: KP FIRED! (merged) Perfect time to fire KP from an organizational point of view. This news will get buried by all of the draft news so they won't hear too much criticism in the press.
Re: KP FIRED! (merged) anyone hear this guy on the radio "These guys are not Vulcans! they use logic! These guys are more like Ferengi!"
Re: KP FIRED! (merged) Classic. Ferrengi use some logic as well, at least when it comes to money. These are the guys that gave ZBo tons of money and overpaid Darius by 200%. They might be not even be that!

KP Clueless?!?!?! LINK Seriously? He has no idea why Paul Allen was pissed at him? I'm going to have to call bullshit here. Paul fires KP's good buddy and right hand man, and then tells him he's no longer welcomed sitting next to him at games... and KP has no idea why? If you're significant other came home and told you they were fired but gave no reason why, wouldn't that seem odd to you? Right or wrong, KP fell out a favor with Allen. And considering the timing of last night's firing, it was obviously personal. But don't tell me KP had no clue as to why this was happening to him. I don't think KP is being very honest here, just say'n.
