    This organization has the strangest way of doing things and it never makes any sense.

    Drama just seems to keep coming at this franchise.

    The 500+ empty seats at the Clippers game is telling. If you're not a hardcore fan how much BS can you take as a fan?

    Since he insists on breaking his toy, maybe his Mommy Stern should give him a timeout in the corner.

    Better yet, since the league is now buying teams they should just force Allen to sell to them. I gaurantee our record would improve immediately.

    Paul Allen should sell to Phil Knight. The Portland Nikes would be great. He's worth basically the same as Allen.

    I've really had enough of Paul Allen. He doesn't know how to win.

    Leave it to me to follow a team that has more drama surrounding it than an MTV "Reality" show.

    Ugh.

    I really doubt Phil Knight would by this team. I think it would end up being a conflict of interest situation for him.

    BGRantFan missed a very important part of the JQuick interview. Quick stated; " Steve Gorden was giving coaching advice to Wesley Mathews before a game." I would like to hear HCP's take on that quote. Could that have really happened? If so, Nate should have told him to go coach a 7th grade girls team and get the fuck away from my players.

    Couple this with what HCP said, and I wonder if Nate didn't bring him in himself as a way to possibly get through to the players.

    Missed that gem. God, it's even more out of control than I thought it could be.

    So will Steve Gordon step in for Nate if Nate gets fired?

    Steve Gorden isn't a coach. If Nate is having problems, why bring in a guy with zero credibility. My not hire Terry Porter or have someone that knows the NBA do it like a former player or coach? Why choose a nobody to do it? That would be like hiring someone from this forum to get through to his players. If Nate is that desperate, then HCP would be wrong and the organization would be done with Nate.

    "He's the kind of basketball junkie you meet in the park who knows everybody and everything about the game," McMillan says. "He's a guy who should be in a higher position, with some team, but isn't."

    This is from an article published in 1995. It would appear Nate held him in pretty high regard.

    Hat Guy is better informed on this topic than everyone in this forum, and Jason Quick.
