WTF did you try to post?

Re: Omer Asik a Blazer!

I was posting about how Omer Asik was a Blazer and we let him slip through our fingers. Just like Moses Malone.

Yes... Omer Asik and Moses Malone.... I can see the comparison.

 

[julius]

Both are humans. It's an apt comparison.

The following excerpt is from
http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/a/asikom01.html

June 28, 2008: As part of a 3-team trade, traded by the Portland Trail Blazers to the Chicago Bulls; the Chicago Bulls traded Sonny Weems to the Denver Nuggets; the Chicago Bulls traded a 2009 2nd round draft pick (Jon Brockman was later selected) and a 2010 2nd round draft pick (Jerome Jordan was later selected) to the Portland Trail Blazers; and the Denver Nuggets traded a 2009 2nd round draft pick (Patrick Mills was later selected) to the Portland Trail Blazers.

In other news we already knew about that needed a thread....

For Asik, Pritchard got Mills, Brockman (then traded him + millions for Pendergraph), and Jerome Jordan (then traded him + millions for Armon Johnson). Then Pritchard fans and the Oregonian rejoiced at his genius.

What this site needs is a trade deadline thread.

Yeah, it was all about Patty Cakes!

Actually it was a troll thread and I changed the title.

why do I get the feeling most of Pritchards dealings ended up this way.

Here's a link to draft picks, trades, and free agent signings as GM of the Blazers.

That site copied the original.

B-Reference and RealGM now include the name after the pick, where before there was no name. They copied my ProSportsTransactions site. For example,

...the Chicago Bulls traded a 2009 2nd round draft pick (Jon Brockman was later selected) and a 2010 2nd round draft pick (Jerome Jordan was later selected) to...

Most of his moves were insignificant, but the Camby trade made a positive impact. Oden was the main problem with KP's tenure in Portland, and 20/20 hindsight guys who want to build statues of him to piss on (NB3) would have drafted Oden, too. Plus, there is no way KP made that move without heavy input from Paul Allen and Allen's cronies.

Ok. Thanks for that info, JP.

I got lots more history to bore you with. Pull up a chair. Back when my shelf-full of Spoting News NBA Guides begins in 1971, trades were described as, "traded for Connie Dierken and a 2nd-round pick". By about the late 80s or so, they actually put in the year: "a 1979 1st-round pick." But ProSportsTransactions, when it was born around 2001, added 2 great things: the draft choice # and the name of the player. So,

2009 second round pick (from Nuggets) (#55-Patrick Mills / Patty Mills), 2009 second round pick (from Bulls) (#38-Jon Brockman), 2010 second round pick (from Bulls) (#44-Jerome Jordan)

Pulled up the chair and listening (or in this case reading).

Nice find. They also have info for baseball, football, and hockey. Wow!

Most were insignificant, yet he staked his performance on the draft and his extremely infrequent insignificant trades because of his do-nothing Bake the Cake philosophy. If you're going to oppose trading, you better make your tiny number of trades count.

As for Paul Allen, his millions greased each Pritchard trade, making us get more for less. Allen's largesse made Pritchard's trades come out better than they would have. Yet they still stank, except for 3, Roy, Aldridge, and Batum.

The Clippers wanted to give away Camby and we offered the most, such as it is--Outlaw and Blake for 1 year of Camby, enabled by Allen overpaying Camby to stay. Not anything special on Pritchard's part. Yet Pritchard was forced into doing that by all the criticism his philosophy was getting by then. Getting an older player went against his grain. He wanted to saddle McMillan each year with the youngest team in the league.

Don't forget that Camby re-signed with Portland, though.

Do you deny posting that you wanted a statue of Pritchard so you could piss on it? It was just a few days ago. Maybe yesterday. I can link it for you, since you've admitted you don't remember what people post.

I've been pushing that site since 2003, but get no allies. I used to advocate for Hoopsstats, too, but possession-weighted stat sites replaced fantasy per-48 sites like Hoopsstats. It's still a gold mine.

Sadly, I couldn't get anyone on board for CoolStandings (this is mainly when I was on ESPN). What a great site before it died. It's still alive for baseball. Each day of the season, it predicted each team's final record. Everyone wanted to cite the inferior Hollinger prediction site instead.

Yes, but only because Allen overpaid him. Without Allen adding millions into each trade, our best players on that team would have been our best draft picks--Brandon Rush, Josh McRoberts, and Dante Cunningham.
