    Re: KP FIRED!

    with this ownership it doesnt deserve to when. Thanks for worrying about where I got though. I have stuck with this team through thick and thin, and am not leaving. But I will not be contributing to this mess moneywise for a long time. And I cannot support this management. Still not sure why it is your concern though.

    You don't think they're not afraid for their jobs? If I worked for PA, I would be.

    Where was it reported that KP is being made to stick around in the war room?

    Last night for KP to answer those calls from GM's that offer crap for your young talent. Will Paul Allen and the Vulcan suck out our talent for players they consider stars who are not. We better have a GM who knows what they are doing quick, before we have our fantasy, Star Trek, Star wars loving, dungeon and dragon playing owner messes up a good team.

    Re: KP FIRED!

    Well considering you said the organization doesn't deserve to win, it was annoying to read. Maybe it is not my concern, but that shit is pathetic. Go ahead and don't support them money wise, but it is pathetic to state we don't deserve to win. Yes the timing was odd and I do feel bad for KP, but at the same time, I am very ready to move on.

    Good point. No wonder they're talking their way around it.

    I wonder what PA thinks Kevin is going to help with tonight?

    If I were him, i would literally say "go fuck yourself" everytime he looked in my direction.

    Re: KP FIRED! (merged)

    Wow. Lots of anger here.

    It was obvious that the Blazers just wanted him around during the draft... whether to work the phones or to keep him from being hired by another team.

    I'm confused about why he's being let go, of course, but I don't understand why people are so MAD about it.

    If/when the team hires a retread/crappy GM, then I think I might be a little more upset. :)

    I can't think of more a shithead move if your going to fire someone. I'm not enamored at this point. You think this doesn't influence Oden's decision to sign an extension here.

    Re: KP FIRED! (merged)

    Here's the bottom line and I don't care what a dick I sound like: Paul Allen is going to be dead within 24 months from cancer. I was a fan before he bought this team and I'll be a fan after he estate sells this team. He never knew how to get out of his own way. I look forward to the new ownership group.

    Woj ways in

    WojYahooNBA Paul Allen delivers a final, stunning, and ultimately vicious public humiliation of Kevin Pritchard: Firing him on draft night? Unreal.

    Fuck, what kind of extension are we even going to give Oden. His demands are probably going to be more than what he has proved he is worth unless he is healthy all next year and plays well.

    I feel a little ill. Not because KP was fired, but because my suspicions that Allen might not know what the fuck he is doing have kind of been confirmed. Whatever the reasons, this is piss poor timing and shows that he has almost no sense of how to properly conduct a business.

    Re: KP FIRED!

    Fuck have you read anything I have said... its not that KP is being fired.. its how this organization has treated him or smeared his name, that is why they dont deserve to win. If Paul Allen wants to make a change more power to him... How his organization has handled it has shown me what little class they have, and they deserve everything bad that happens to them basketball wise IMO.
