Now that members of Team KP are done arguing with themselves-- Thank you, Paul Allen. Best owner in the NBA.
Those 22 seasons contained 636 team seasons. Owners enjoyed 22 championship seasons and 614 nonchampionship seasons, a 3% success rate. Reason 2. The Oregonian demanded we blow up a .600 team, so we lost a third of the 22 seasons. After Patterson and Nash did their bidding and gave away people, the paper turned against them. Pritchard's goal was to take his time and let it bake. So we didn't try during a third of the 22 seasons.
So then your opinion is that the Oregonian owns the team. If Allen is not even the owner of an NBA franchise, how can he be the best one? Or is this a Zen exercise, where the best NBA owner is the one that fails to exist? Deep.
KP ruined Martell and Sabby! I knew it! Somebody get Steve Patterson on the horn, STAT! Another log to throw on the fire!
Webster wasn't on that team. It was KP's inability to win (m)any games that put us in a position to pass on Paul and Williams and take Webster. Ed O.
No, because of that, Pritchard ruined Martell by putting Portland in the position to draft him, therefore putting unrealistic expectations on him BECAUSE Portland passed over Paul and Williams. It's KP's fault. Had Martell been merely drafted by Portland without the trade, he'd be an All-Star right now. I've yet to see concrete evidence disproving my theory.
Another master stroke by the best owner in the NBA. Honestly I'm fucking buzzing with excitement to see what he does next. So far Danny Ferry doesn't want to leave Cleveland to work for the best owner in the NBA. HAPPY DAYS AHEAD!!!!!!!!
