Yeah, I think that's what Patterson said. He was ordered from up top to get the deal done, even though he had his reservations about it -- at least,...
Kind of lame how Tone has totally just turned on KP and has burned on him all morning long. How classy.. but it's obvious, he wants to keep his job...
Yeah, it all sounds plausible, but of course, I'm sure Patterson wants to make himself look good out of all this. And if you ask KP the same...
Great interview. Hopefully they put it up on the 95.5 site soon. Tons of good stuff that Patterson just said. I don't know if all of it he said were...
Patterson: - Doctors tagged Miles' knees as having 18 months tops. - He was told to get the Miles' long-term deal done, even though he didn't want to.
Patterson: - Stability leads to long-term success. But when you have other folks who weigh in on the decisions like people in Vulcan who don't live...
Patterson: - Patterson hired KP, and is a big fan of KP's. The Blazers could've hired one of Patterson or Nash's friends instead of KP, but didn't...
CIP: Why would you keep a guy on board when you already fired him? Patterson: Now you know what I had to deal with. Patterson: Any time you don't...
Good info. Thanks. Hope you're right about it, and I trust guys like KP, Born and Buchanan that if they think this guy is a player, that he will be....
Re: What happens with Gomes? I hope we keep Gomes. I've been a fan of his game, and I think he's just a solid role player who doesn't make too many...
Yahoo's analysis: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/draft;_ylt=AoOORL.Lg_Sme4Fso_Hg3Tm8vLYF I hope he's a little more athletic than Luke Jackson was......
Larry doesn't have enough clout to fire just anybody, especially the GM. It's ultimately PA's decision, isn't it?
Good read. I think with time, there will be some understanding from PA's side on this whole debacle as more of the story gets out. But right now.....
That's a possibility, and is certainly PA's M.O. to not talk about anything publicly. But I think he could earn a certain amount of respect back if...
From Isaac's blog on 1080thefan.com, saying something similar to the OP. http://www.1080thefan.com/pages/2901506.php
I agree that KP probably knew he was going to be gone way before today, and not just an hour before the draft. And the 'how 'doesn't matter as much...
Yeah, they just explained this on 95.5. The Blazers just put a muzzle on the guys after the first 5 minutes, and told them not to talk about it since...
"Someone who changed the culture"
Canzano said a minute ago that Nate is probably next to get axed if he doesn't get this team to an elite level by the All-Star break next year.
Thanks for the memories Martell... especially one of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMVXnJDBtnI
