    Why? When Oden has played, he's been dominant. Do you think with GO playing tonight OKC is within 10? I don't.

    Let me be clear about a few things as well. I was on the KP bandwagon, and I wanted Oden. I am however a fan, and I did not access to the information and counsel that KP had. Also the fact is pretty clear that Durant is a superstar and Oden is a bust until he changes that status on the court. I am officially off the KP and Oden train, and sadly watching the Durant express roll through Blazerville on the road to camp Victory.

    This shit again? Look, I'm not exactly the biggest KP fan (I think he was good at some parts of the job and not so good at a few others) but let this shit go.

    I've been on the KP-Is-An-Overrated-Douche bandwagon well before he was fired.

    John Nash retired this 'award' for eternity.

    The OP is obviously trolling, and I bit, but only to point out how stupid this thread really is when you think about it.

    Let it go? Fuck that noise. It is directly related to the current state of the team, and it is healthy to acknowledge that so many of us were flat out wrong about KP and Oden. It is time to face the truth, and that is that our management made a really bad decision. I used to hide behind the "every other GM" clause, but now it just doesn't matter because clearly we blew it big time on the Oden vs Durant choice. In addition we were the ONLY team in that position.

    I'd say Joe Dumars is worse because he drafted Darko over Melo, Wade, Bosh, etc.

    While I acknowledge your expertise in the art of trolling, I am more venting. The difference is that my post is based in truth. At this point Durant is clearly better, and KP was the guy at the helm.

    Point of order, "Blazer" history. I would agree with you on NBA history with Joey D.

    Yeah... even in the world of venting and hyperbole, worst-case-KP doesn't come close to real-world John Nash.

    Oh, well, in that case it's the guy who passed on Chris Paul and Deron Williams.

    Not to mention using three picks in the top 20 on Telfair, Krhyapa and Monia.

    Can't hate on the Telfair pick too much... Telfair helped get us Roy.

    Nope. You're trolling. Nothing in your initial thread title is based in any objective truth.

    by that logic, we can't hate on the Krhyapa pick either because he helped the club get Aldridge.... the legend of John "Genius" Nash is growing before our eyes

    Kinda funny at the time Boston drafted Rondo to be the backup to Telfair.
