    What was the reason again? Didn't he lie to PA to get Tom Penn a raise? I have no clue if it was true, but I thought the rumor was that KP claimed another team was trying to steal Penn to justify his raise. Then, when PA checked into it, he found out it never happened.

    I can ask Chuck and Shaq what we should do with the #11 pick if you want FAMS!

    Loved that! I hope he really works on his three point shot this offseason so that he can take advantage of creating more drives to the basket. He’s an elite finisher at the rim.

    IIRC, the rumor was that KP and Penn concocted some story that Minny's front office wanted to steal Penn from the Blazers; this supposedly spurred PA to give Penn a raise and promotion. Then PA was pissed and decided to fire KP....but apparently let KP handle the 2010 draft and took Babbitt at 16; Elliot Williams at 22; and Armon Johnson at 34

    it was a weird story all around

    Sure would be nice if he focused on his defense this offseason.

    Outside of the top 10, that was a pretty bad draft. Avery Bradley, Eric Bledsoe and Whiteside were decent picks outside the lotto.

    Chet might not be real strong but he sure can play the game.
