Does KP leak stuff to HW? Or is somebody full of themselves?

 

[MAS RipCity]

This does not pass the smell test

What bothered me was the quote from the chat where Ingram mentions talking to KP about trading LA was missing from the chat when I clicked on the link. Either it was never there to begin with, or Hoopsworld removed it.

Dave in Rip City:
2 parter for ya Bill: 1. Do think the Jazz will match the TOXIC offer? 2. If the Blazers do get Millsap does that make Przybilla more expendable with Yao out and Shaq in the East? Przy + Outlaw for Battier?
Bill Ingram:
If they get Millsap they’ll look to deal LaMarcus. Talked to KP about it last night – Wendell Maxey will be writing about that later today. They want a more physical presence at the 4 and aren’t sure they can afford to pay what LaMarcus will want. You hang onto Joel.

Read the edit by Wendell Maxey.

"first of all that's just speculation on Bill's part about trading LMA. The interview Bill did with Kevin talked about the draft, talked about Bayless at the point and talked about Millsap. Had nothing to do whatsoever with LaMarcus. I will not be writing anything about anything on that today. I wrote a Bayless piece that they will be putting up after 5PM. I'm not writing anything about LaMarcus or Millsap... Don't jeopardize my credibility over LaMarcus being traded because that's absurd."

Wow did you see this quote?

Bill Ingram:
Love Blair - he's a double-double waiting to happen. The Spurs are screwing around with his contract and the Blazers would love to get him. He's capable of being an impact player if he gets the minutes. Looked great here yesterday.

Obviously this guy's credibility is in question as LMA isn't on the block unless its for the master stroke minimum of Harris maximum of CP3. None-the-less, it's interesting he said that about Dejuan Blair...

Yeah, the Blazers would love to get him after passing on him three times.

Another PF though? That's the funny bit.

 

[Darkwebs]

This Ingram guy must be full of crap.

 

[ebott]

wow, that guy is a pair of fucking clownshoes.

 

[Ed O]

Haha. Back-to-back ridiculousness from the same guy.

Does he always write that kind of nonsense or has he recently started using hard drugs?

Ed O.

 

[Kaydow]

Exactly. If they didn't love him enough to draft him a month ago, why would they "love to get him" now?

 

[Minstrel]

Exactly. If they didn't love him enough to draft him a month ago, why would they "love to get him" now?

They had reason to believe he'd blow his knees out in his first game and, now that he hasn't, he's a safe acquisition?

I de-bookmarked Hoopsworld a couple years ago. It is a complete fluff site.

Wise move coming here to get the real dirt.

 

[Natebishop3]

It's been so long since I worked there.... I don't know anymore. I had pretty good connections with the Blazers, but I haven't been with Hoopsworld since like.... 05?

 

[BTOWN_HUSTLA]

I've never heard of this "Hoopsworld" and frankly it sounds made up.

 

[BlazersBlood]

LOL! That edit is classic! The guy basically called him a fuckin douche.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

This guy lost any credibility he had.

We would love to get Blair? KP passed on him at #22, #31, #33.

I can see KP trading LMA with Millsap on board. But I really doubt KP would tell some random 'writer' from Hoopsworld.

oh yeah? I remember a poster there..... Agent Drazen Petrovic or something

 

[ehizzy3]

if someone can give me one logical reason why KP would leak info to hoopsworld....ill give them....fuck it i wont give you anything but i'd still like to hear one logical reason why KP would do that

 

[RR7]

Logical Reason: Utah would be more worried about facing us with Aldridge than they would with Millsap. They hear that if we get Millsap, we will trade Aldridge, so Utah doesn't match the offer to Millsap.

Ok, I don't believe it either.

 

[maxiep]

The writer clearly gets messages from KP. They're transmitted telepathically from KP to the fillings in the writer's teeth.

 

[RickyRubio]

What, you guys didn't know KP talks to Hoopsworld?

 

[Paxil]

*If* there was info leaked... I think it could be to illicit offers. For the most part I think agents or speculating writers are responsible for most rumors. In some cases it appears writers have picked up crazy speculation in forums like this and used them. A crazy idea gets looked at here by some local radio show host who maybe uses it as something to throw out on the air... which gets heard by someone else... and so on and so forth.
