KP Worst GM in Blazer history?

[Sug]

What happens if Oden actually returns from injury and is a dominate inside force?

Does KP automagically go from incompetent asshat to certified genius?


In another history lesson, Portland HAS had a center that had massive injury problems for a couple of years before having a healthy/successful season.
Walton was injured pretty much constantly for two seasons before 1977.
And he was pretty much constantly injured for every season after that.

But that one year he was healthy and awesome.
That's my hope for Oden.
Just a year or two of relative health for Portland to make some real noise.


Oh, and sometimes there isn't anyone to blame.
Sometimes it really isn't anyones fault.
Random bad shit just happens.

Though it does seem to happen more to Portland then seems reasonable.

Not magically, but he would look good for sure. I hope you understand that how we evaluate someone is about the results, and if the results change so does the evaluation. As of now it is not looking very good.

Random events do occur, Oden was injury prone prior to the draft and he has been injury prone as a Blazer. That is not random.

Neither are threads about a former GM or player who has nothing to do with this organization any more... those are frequent as well.

No. KP's mistake was not Oden over Durant. Every GM would have made that same pick.

His mistake was the Imaginary Cap Space fiasco and falling too much in love with his own players/friends and not trading for the best balance, basketball wise.

In this we are in agreement.

This coming from the man who's signature was Oden in a wheel chair with his 2007 SLAM cover for most of the summer.

What the fuck ever hypocrite.

You've been one of the biggest Oden bashers for ages now and then you go and protect the man who chose him? Give me a fucking break.

Come on man, I realize you're a gigantic Oden fan, but that sig was fucking hilarious. Nik wasn't using it because he hates Oden. He was using it because it had comedic value. Sometimes things get so bad that the only proper response is to laugh. This is one of those times.

Well at least somebody gets it.

(I'll leave it a mystery as to who I'm talking about).

Just think how much better the Blazers would be without their entire starting line-up plus Przybilla, Fernandez, Oden and Cunningham. Why, Portland could have fielded a team of Khryapa, Monia, Telfair, Qyntel Woods, Zach Randolph and Adam Morrison.

Joel was one of Nash's biggest accomplishments actually, and we're still unclear on who drafted Roy and Aldridge.

Oh come on... JR Rider was awesome.

This debate is over, Oden has surpassed Sam Bowie now.

 

[barfo]

Yeah, I guess that's right. At least we were able to trade Bowie.

I guess I'm feeling really angry tonight and need to strike out at someone because i'm ready to rank KP right down there with Patternash. He could have threatened to resign and go public when he realized they were gonna pass on Chris Paul. He wasted money and picks on Kopponen, Freeland and Claver. If his plan was to get Westbrook in the draft (I can't really believe he was trading up for Bayless), then he should have tried harder and should have given up somebody like Outlaw or Webster when they might have had some value. He should have given up a little more to get Lawson, since he always said they did whatever possible to get the guy they wanted. I just read a couple days ago that part of the reason Minnesota wanted Roy instead of Foye was because of concern about Roy's knees, so I'm thinking KP maybe should have factored injury potential more into his decision making. I realize drafting in every sport is an inexact science and that a lot of other GM's have probably screwed up worse and maybe I'm just angry at myself too for thinking KP was something special.
