    So the guy is all over the radio this week, and what I heard is

    * He was against signing Darius for more than 1 year, but P.A. overruled him. He says was worried about Miles' "character and knees."

    * He made the calls in the legendary 06 draft, not KP

    * He liked Durant over Oden

    * He was very concerned about Greg's health generally, and knees specifically

    Well, to quote the Church Lady, how conveeeeeeeeeenient. Does he really think we are going to by this load of hooey?

    I call bullshit.

    Greg Oden didn't have any knee problems before the micro-fracture surgery, right?

    And Durant over Oden seems like bullshit, every executive would have taken Oden.

    The rest I can believe.

    Prior to the draft there were a lot of 'insiders' that came on 1080 to talk Greg Oden and more than one said that his knees looked a lot older than the typical 19 year old professional athlete.

    Patterson was slimy before we hired him, while he was with the Blazers, and now. Where's he been all these years? It seems oddly convenient he's emerged to fix up his reputation now.
