    Danny Ferry and Billy King are reported finalists for the Nets' GM/President job.

    Where's KP?

    Their loss.

    Some other lucky team will get KP.

    Who fucking cares? Ferry rejected the Blazers though, and is now looking at the Nets for chrissakes. Tell me again how Vulcan isn't fucking things up. :)

    I don't get it. Is the point of this thread to say KP isn't good because he isn't a finalist for the NJ job?

    He's saying NJ is a bad organization for not only giving Travis Outlaw that contract, but for not making KP a finalist. I agree.

    I am begining to wonder.......

    What if KP's name isn't showing up because he has a severance agreement that contains a "no compete" clause? That would imply that the team had some sort of leverage over him in negotiations.

    Or maybe I am just being paranoid. :dunno:

    New Jersey, after the whole Kiki/Harris/Legarie fiasco, probably doesn't want to deal with Legarie again. can't say i blame them.

    If KP is as good as we have believed he is..........he will land a job the moment he is legally able. Right?

    I was sort of tweaking those who honestly think KP is head-and-shoulders above other GMs and that there is NO way he could have been let go for legit reasons.

    The Nets' finalists seem like an odd pair. I could live with Ferry but I don't think I'd be at all pleased by Billy King as the Blazers' GM.

    Who would you choose between KP, Ferry and King?

    I agree with what Chad Ford says

    KP with Larry Ellison would be a crazy duo.

    Define "those"? I haven't seen that poster on this board. Perhaps some other board?

    KP. But maybe the Nets--like the Blazers--know more than I do.

    I haven't seen you say a single good thing about any available GM candidate.

    Would you like to correct the record and say who you put on par with KP? Or admit that some posters (maybe even including you) have been on bulldog attack mode since KP was let go?
