You said KP's agent was "found out" to be leaking things to the media. He wasn't leaking anything. He was coming right out and saying it and putting his name to it.

UNLIKE the Blazers front office who are letting Patterson and unemployed podcasters do their dirty work.

How many lifeboats do you think we'll need for 20,630 people? Like 10?

Are you being serious?

The truth can always be questioned. They HATE being questioned.

Sorry, I'm not someone who thinks Paul Allen is the "Best NBA owner in the whole wide world" because he shovels money into a Portland incinerator.

There are certain teams who have nothing to hide and others that do everything they can to not let anyone in.

We are dealing with the latter. Probably for good reason. They don't know what they're doing.

Jesus wept....

Danny Fucking Ferry? What? Why? WHAT??????

DANNY FERRY?!??!?!?!?

WHAT?

You have some issues man. Yeah, I'm new to posting on this board, but I've followed it for some time. I know my Blazers, and I also know when someone needs to relax a little and control what they can and not "lose it" when things are out of their control. I hope you can step away from your keyboard for a bit and cool off.........

I actually wrote in my last post "What temperature do you guys keep the offices at over there" but then decided I was being cheap.

So I'm not the only one who smells it then?

Nope - I don't even live in the Northwest. My only involvement with the Blazers is I'm a HUGE fan amongst Laker, Jazz and Kings fans. My red, white and black sticks out next to all the purple I see.

If that's the case, how have you missed the fact that this franchise has been a laughing stock for most of Paul Allen's reign?

And that's just the basketball.

Let's not forget what he did with the Arena. And threatened to move the team and signed the comcast deal, both ends of the Darius Miles deal. etc etc etc.

Absolute jokers.



At least Danny Ferry is here to save us from that tyrant Kevin Pritchard.

I would write the last sentence as "At least Danny Ferry is here to save us from not having a GM in the most frenzied summer in NBA History, b/c Paul Allen fired that tyrant Kevin Pritchard."

A crazy and unsuportable position.

Allen's reign of ownership has been a mixed bag, but a lot of good has occured.

Allen built a new stadium with all private money - one of the few of its kind in the U.S. With the strong lack of support from the state and local governments in Oregon/Portland for public support of sports, the chances are good that without Allen the Blazers are long gone at this point. No new stadium - no team.

During the Jailblazer era, even with the new stadium, but still paying for the bloated salaries of the Sheed/Pippen era run at a championship, the finances of the operation fell completely apart. Things were looking bad. He wanted to sell the team. But, without takers for a price he wanted, he hung on.

Still loving being a superfan and getting to be a part of the draft day War Room, Allen (as I did), got very excited by draft day 2006. "Broken model" be damnned, Allen told his crew, "let's turn this thing around and make this work." He opened his wallet and started spending again.

The Comcast deal. During the era of the "broken model", the team was looking at very chintzy offers from the networks. The finances would have remained iffy for some time. Then, white knight Comcast swoops in with offers of untold riches for a long-term deal to be the anchor for their new state sports channel. It turned out to be a deal with the devil. But, you have to admit the devil's big checks didn't bounce, and that money went into the team and the players and fixing the "broken model".

I believe Paul Allen has the best of intentions, but doesn't know when to get out of his own way.

Is the above list supposed to be detailing the GOOD????

Deary me....

-Built an arena for his OWN team. (Then sold it to the city and bought it at a depressed price after claiming bankruptcy and threatening to move/sell the team)
-Paid over priced salaries for the roster built on his watch
-Had a blast at the 2006 draft
-Made bank off comcast.

LOLZ!

Sweet. So happy Paul Allen got a bunch of money from Comcast. If there's anyone who needs more money it's him. I'm sure all the fans who can't watch the games are glad to hear that as well.

THANKS PAUL!!!!!

Maybe he can pass some of that cash onto the Portland business's he hung out to try when he claimed bankruptcy.

I am thinking you are a glass-half-empty kind of person.

Your posts about Allen positively drip with bitter anger, envy and lack of perspective. Keep it up.

Perspective?

It was your list dude.

you can't refute what I've written so you insult me.

I'm sorry I'm not over the moon that Paul Allen came out on top of the Comcast deal, had to pay out the contracts of overpriced players he brought in or claimed bankruptcy as a billionaire leaving the little guy fucked or threatened to move my team.

Is that the sort of stuff that's supposed to keep me buzzing as a basketball fan?

If that's the kind of entertainment you're into however, if thats the kind of thing you like seeing from an owner of your favorite team, my god... You've hit the motherload.

There's a cool feature on these boards - it's called the "Ignore" list. Use it judiciously.

You forgot to tell him about the part where you're supposed to make an announcement to the entire board you're about to do it. And the pros tell the other posters to do it as well.

Something like.... Ahem....

"That's it. this guy is going on ignore!!!!! and I suggest the rest of you do it as well!!!"

I like when they randomly interject their ignore status into a thread.

"So glad I have Poster X on ignore!"

kthx for sharing. Feel better?

Do you think it's possible Ferry was dealing with the same behind-the-scenes bullshit from LeGarie at Cleveland and got sick of it?

based on what little we really know lots of things are possible. What is firmly established is that our media sources are proven tools of agents and front office types who have little reason to let them in on whats really what. Sort of funny how despite this very limited access to reliable info, again and again the same posters become convinced they've definitively figured everything out and need to tell the rest of us ad nausea about it

anyhoo, welcome to our little chat community
