Merged: Who is KP?

Re: So, Does KP Post Here? (Canzano's Piece On "Golden Boy..."

Sorry. I should have looked around a bit more.

Yes, mods, please delete this thread, or merge.

 

Re: So, Does KP Post Here? (Canzano's Piece On "Golden Boy..."

If he was over at bbf at all (which I wouldn't doubt if he looks at blazer forums), then he knows about this place. EVERYONE from bbf came over.

 

I'm suprised a "western conference GM" would trust Crapzano and say something like that.

HCP is KP!

 

Ouch, someone really didn't like getting Pritch-slapped. I imagine you only really hear that a lot when your own fans tell you that it happened to you. Or maybe our fans.

 

No Comment.

 

Re: Who is KP?

KP didn't send the email. Why should he apologize for it? He has no control over the business of the team.

LOL...take the side of GMs who have made bad deals with KP. Typical of the franchise...

 

Said one Western Conference GM of Pritchard on Saturday: "(Bleep) that guy, he's walking around rubbing everyone's nose in the deals he's made and even with all those lottery players his team is still not in the playoffs."



that quote is pretty accurate

 

It's sour grapes. We will be in the playoffs this year, so that guy can shove it

 

Said Chris Wallace, owner of just as many lottery picks...

 

Re: Who is KP?

You are LOL because it is typical of the franchise to take the side of GMs who have made bad deals with KP????

I think you are getting a little delirious . . .

 

Ignore the troll and he'll go away.

 

Re: Who is KP?

You said KP should apologize for an email that his boss sent.

 

Re: Who is KP?

KP said he was part of the discussion to send out the email. He should be part of the discussion to send out an implied apology email.

You responded:
LOL...take the side of GMs who have made bad deals with KP. Typical of the franchise...


I'm still trying to figure out that response . . .

 

There should be no response. I think they will backup what they said in the email and if Memphis only keeps Miles for one more 10 day contract and only plays Miles 2-3 games for a few minutes each game the Blazers will take legal action against Memphis, the NBA and maybe more. I rather they wouldn't have sent the email but it's PA team and he can do what he thinks is best for his investment/team.

 

Re: Who is KP?

If that's the case, I'm doing a hell of a job making up a cover story (living in Oakland, working at a large company, not to mention female, Jewish, gay - I know KP is not the first two but not sure of the third), making up game time conversations with Rice - even inventing cats as cover! Damn, I should work for the CIA (just kidding).

 

why? it is anonymous, so it might be pulled out of the writer's... fertile imagination

Kevin- having met you at two games and not picked up on your true identity, I've got to say that your disguises are unbelievable... you should be a spook.

Re: Who is KP?

I am sure Paul Allen has a cover story budget.

 

Does anyone else think that the guy Canzano was quoting was either Mark Warkentein or Mike Dunleavy? Both of whom have an axe to grind with POR and Allen anyway?


Regardless this is a stupid article....

So another GM is pissed with Pritchard for the phrase "Pritch Slap"?...a phrase he niether created or endorses? Give me a break....A little thin skinned perhaps?

and quite frankly...other GM's can whine about Allen's money and buying picks and lucking into the #1 pick...but the bottom line is Pritchard still had to make the correct picks...and to date he seems to have done just that....It appears to me that there is a particular GM or 2 that are just petty and jealous of Pritchard's success and that is on them not on Pritchard....

 

It's BS anyway.

It's a cliche that the NBA is a business. This is capitalism. If you're running a business you do all you can to push an advantage over your competitiors.

Some teams, Orlando, Miami, LA, Phoenix, have advantage of warm weather all winter. Some have no state income tax, which saves the players money. LA, NY, Chicago are major media markets. And a few teams (LA, Cleveland, Miami) have a mega star which guarantees the team will be on national TV at least once a week.

Portland is a small city, it is not renowned for the best nightlife in the world, it is not home to national media. It rains all winter. Roy, Aldridge, Oden are not yet the TV draws that Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are.

Their big advantage is the owner's deep pockets and the smarts of the GM.

So they should not push that advantage? I bet teams in LA and Miami sure push their warm winters!

PS, Stomp, you see, maybe you should have gone for that drink with me after the GSW game, alcohol loosens the tongue, you know. No telling what I might have revealed after I took off my female disguise!
