    Canzano is getting hyped over Yahoo's article on the Ducks. "At some point the Ducks are going to have to let Chip go!" So he just pushed back the KP interview.

    But I am interested to hear what KP has to say.

    On picking Oden over Durant, "Before Oden came to Ohio State he had only lost 3 games. That showed he cared more about winning than scoring."

    Relax, Nik. Calm waters.

    Just wait a few years and your dreams will come true.

    I listened, and probably two most informing bits of information:

    1. Roy's contract is nearly fully insured. It was in question I guess.

    2. Oden is a locker-room leader. Pritchard talks about how it was becoming Oden's team shortly before the last injury. How he held teammates accountable and said something along the lines of Oden being the most emotionally invested player he'd seen since Larry Bird. If there's just a fraction of truth to that, it probably paints Oden in a completely different light than what a lot of people think of him.


    Listening to Pritchard again, left me missing him. For all his blemishes and warts, he had a very forgiving charisma about him. Sort of like if Bill Clinton GM'd the Blazers.

    Nope, nor the luxury tax implications. And if he keeps playing, it doesn't matter at all.

    Canzano also asked him if the blazers offered the job back, would he take it. He paused and said yes. He still says he is too attached to the team. He is probably seriously depressed about the whole situation still.

    I know what you mean about KP. I find him knowledgable, articulate and and well spoken. He seems genuine in his passion for the Blazers. I don't know anything behind the scenes, but if I owned a team, I would want KP as my GM.

    Unfortunately PA obviously doesn't feel the same. He was quick to squash any rumors of KP coming back to the point it seems like there is something personal there.

    Anyways, KP is a good guy in my book and I hope he finds the right franchise that fits his style.

    His fans defend his drafting Babbitt and Armon as: It was his revenge. It was the last Pritch-Slap.

    Did they ask him whether that's true?

    Worst reason to draft Oden instead of Durant I've ever seen.

    The ONLY way that is a solid reason is if both players are equal, or at least Oden is healthy.
