    Perhaps you should give up your moniker and give it to Paul Allen. I plan to be at the first game of the season and I plan to boo Paul Allen if they put his picture on the jumbotron.

    for fucking sure. I think its kind of ironic though that Paul Allen and co got a lot of my money through the jail blazers years, but now I dont feel like they should get anything of mine lol.

    Wow, that was fast! I told you they wouldn't fire him after the draft!

    I guess he is finishing out the day. Hope he didn't make plans with another team to screw us making a trade that helps them and then they hire him. :D

    I wonder if we'll every know the full story. Usually to get the rest of their pay the employee can't talk about what happen so we probably won't find out.

    I know PA is taking the blame on this, but if we knew the whole story it might be KP we'd come down on.

    Jesus Christ. I may not be tolerable, but wtf is this bullshit? This is odd timing and the situation is weird, but I can't say I am exactly pissed.

    Paul Allen has proved himself to be a small man.

    Ya, I can just see KP going to another team and building a championship team. Just like us trading a player and then they become a all star.

    Why? EVERY OTHER employer would completely empathize with Pritchard here.

    Sweet, so now we don't deserve to win? You may as well follow KP wherever he goes.

    How you be fired and be force to stick around. I'd walk the fuck out. Fuck you PA and stupid fucking ego. Why don't you light the Rose Garden on fire too? You think Oden or any other FA will sign here with this joke of a franchise? Hell no, we're right back in the dark days.

    The organization better be prepared to give a reasonable explanation for this. On the surface, and from what any of us here know, this move looks like total idiocy by Allen and Vulcan.

    Imagine the awkwardness when Tom Penn is asked about KP's firing tonight. HA

    Exactly right. No one deserves this kind of treatment. Not only that, but it's bad business. If someone has a choice, who the hell is going to work for the Blazers?
