Merged: Who is KP?

[maxiep]

I don't really care if he posts here or who he posts as. We're a bunch of whackjobs and should be ignored.

Oh sure.....

Put on a WWII German helmet, slather yourself with honey, stick a Roman Candle up your bum, and wander the streets menacing people with a machete - and all of a sudden you're a "whackjob!"

Wasting good honey in this economy? You weren't kidding about being a whackjob...!

I think of it as the blind leading the stupid. KP isn't going to jump into this parade.

Maybe one of us is KP and doesn't know it. Kind of like that awful Christian Slater TV show.

In today's Snoregonian, Canzano revealed that Kevin Pritchard posts on fan message boards about the Blazers under an alias.

So, I ask you friends and comrades, who amongst you is KP?

I'm going with GranpaBlaze, because of his love of spreadsheets

That's awesome! I love this team!!!

P.S. It's not Gramps... I've met him, Gramps is waaaayyyyyy better looking, right Gramps?

 

[BalancedMan]

I am Kevin Pritchard.

Check my record. I tried to give you guys hints about Batum, Fernandez, and Bayless before the draft(s) but no one was listening.

Re: Who is KP?

Why would KP pose as a Lakers fan...that would totally throw people off his track...oh wait.

He would start a thread telling fans to be patient...oh wait

Furthermore the GM would be able to win the prediction game because he would know his team best. I havent won the prediction game twice or anything...oh....damn

I wouldnt tell you I was KP if I was anyways...

Suhweeeet - DaRizzle has courtside tickets to share, woot!!!!! Me first.

It's BS anyway.

It's a cliche that the NBA is a business. This is capitalism. If you're running a business you do all you can to push an advantage over your competitiors.

Some teams, Orlando, Miami, LA, Phoenix, have advantage of warm weather all winter. Some have no state income tax, which saves the players money. LA, NY, Chicago are major media markets. And a few teams (LA, Cleveland, Miami) have a mega star which guarantees the team will be on national TV at least once a week.

Portland is a small city, it is not renowned for the best nightlife in the world, it is not home to national media. It rains all winter. Roy, Aldridge, Oden are not yet the TV draws that Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are.

Their big advantage is the owner's deep pockets and the smarts of the GM.

So they should not push that advantage? I bet teams in LA and Miami sure push their warm winters!

PS, Stomp, you see, maybe you should have gone for that drink with me after the GSW game, alcohol loosens the tongue, you know. No telling what I might have revealed after I took off my female disguise!

I knew there was something especially special about Crandc.

There should be no response. I think they will backup what they said in the email and if Memphis only keeps Miles for one more 10 day contract and only plays Miles 2-3 games for a few minutes each game the Blazers will take legal action against Memphis, the NBA and maybe more. I rather they wouldn't have sent the email but it's PA team and he can do what he thinks is best for his investment/team.

I was thinking about this last night, what would happen if a team blatantly did do that? It's a non-issue if somebody signs him and plays him but what if they purposefully do the 1 or 2 minute thing? Sometimes litigation is needed just to define vague contract or collective bargaining terms.

So much of me wants that to be an obscure Dream Theater reference... but I know it can't be true... *sob*
