Is there a salary cap for GM's? Isn't clay bennet a tad cheap? Not everyone has a blazers fans viewpoint on this KP thing. I look forward to finding out more info both about the firing and who our next GM is.

KP was one of the lowest paid GMs in the league ... so what of Clay Bennet being cheap?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Presti is owning!

 

[BlazerBenner]

Yeah, this isn't cool. So far it's been the worst draft in years.

-KP fired an hour before the draft
-No trades/activity from Portland war room

Fucking A

Now with Pritchard gone, it's business as usual.

 

[BlazerBenner]

Is there a need of any further evidence that Kevin Pritchard was soley responsible for the great drafts we've had lately?

Tonight's draft is the way it was before Pritchard was handling the draft.

Thank God he got us Marcus Camby and got him signed before he was gone.

Now with Pritchard gone, it's business as usual.

So are you happy to see Pritchard gone?

I can't tell from your flurry of posts.

Breaking News: Blazers have found a loop hole to re-draft Ha Seung Jin

 

[THE HCP]

Ah shit! My bad Fams. I thought this was 2007 NBA draft! Nevermind!

 

[RR7]

We're trading Webster for Luke babbit

 

[ironcrotch]

WOW

The Wolves will trade Babbitt to the Blazers for Martell Webster! Kevin Pritchard strikes again!!!

SEE YA MARTY

Didn't know that I stand corrected. We're in trouble. Fuck.

 

[THE HCP]

Couldn't say anything, sorry! Bye Bye Marty!

 

[Stevenson]

Martell for Babbit.

 

[B-Roy]

What the fuck.

 

[Idog1976]

WOW

The Wolves will trade Babbitt to the Blazers for Martell Webster! Kevin Pritchard strikes again!!!

SEE YA MARTY

Uh, is this babbit guy any good? Serious question.

 

[BlazerBenner]

A Dirk-Nowitski type shooter.

Another guy who can stand around and watch Brandon.

Seriously, when the guy adds 15 pounds and gets stronger, he'll be a player who could play both Small Forward and Big Forward.

The guy's got a good stroke.

 

[THE HCP]

Can you say Luke Jackson!

 

[Erroneous Subterfuge]

Soooo tell me about Babbit. I know he's white, but not much else.

 

[THE HCP]

Soooo tell me about Babbit. I know he's white, but not much else.

That is his BEST quality! I don't like this!

 

[Stevenson]

But it does clear up 35 minutes per game for Batum, so it is addition by subtraction. I like it.

 

[THE HCP]

Ryan Gomes!

Either McMillan or Pritchard had to go because they had opposite philosophies. Allen loves McMillan (McMillan's a great person, of course, but that shouldn't be your reason for keeping him as your Coach). Pritchard's gone.

I have the same philosophy as Pritchard. I'm sorry McMillan is still here. I'm sorry that Allen can't recognize that Pritchard's basketball IQ is higher than Nate's. I'm sorry that Pritchard is gone.

Allen, as usual, picked the wrong person. He's such a poor judge of human character. I'm sure that his genius, which got him his money, is related to his inability to function socially. It's not Allen's fault. He was just born without the ability to recognize many of the things you and I take for granted when we work with people.

 

[BlazerBenner]

Can you say Luke Jackson!

Not at all. He's a better shooter, and he's stronger. He's not as slow, either. When he adds 15 more pounds, he'll be a better rebounder, too.

 

[Erroneous Subterfuge]

That is his BEST quality! I don't like this!

Are you sure it's not his flowing, Adam Morrison type hair?

I liked Marty!! Ugh, at least it sounds like we snagged a garden Gnome as well.

 

[THE HCP]

Not at all. He's a better shooter, and he's stronger. He's not as slow, either. When he adds 15 more pounds, he'll be a better rebounder, too.

That's a lot of if's and when's....... Rather have Marty and his 3 pt shooting!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

This was your 'big' trade?

 

[Ed O]

Not at all. He's a better shooter, and he's stronger. He's not as slow, either. When he adds 15 more pounds, he'll be a better rebounder, too.

He's taller, that's for sure. Jackson was 6'7" in shoes with a 6'8.5" wingspan.

Babbitt is 6'8.75" and 6' 11.25".

That's a pretty significant difference.

Ya, sorry!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

HCP, Keep whining, and stay out as long as you like. I've gotten the wife taken care of. She's crying too!

 

[Ed O]

Ya, sorry!

I think it's a pretty significant move. Not earth-shaking, but... more than most NBA teams have done today.

So what about Batum hinting that he'd talked with Tony Parker -- Parker asking him about the city, the team, etc.? Nic had a pretty big smirk on his face (more than normal anyway).
