PA has 'FUCK YOU' money. He can do whatever the hell he wants. He obviously has a grudge against KP and will do whatever it takes to keep the rat in the hole (in his eyes).

I like having Paul and it's a hell of a lot better than having some petty owner like Donald Sterling.

There are rumors all the time about the Blazers, or any team, for that matter. What is unique in this case is Allen's specific response to this rumor. Is it irrational to notice that this rumor compelled Paul Allen to make a response, and to send out his attack dog Larry Miller for a few interviews? Seems like basic observation to me.

If anyone is acting irrational in this case, it is Paul Allen for being so butthurt about a dumb rumor that he refutes it on multiple levels.

At least Pritchard has the professional decency to not comment on the hell that it must be working for the George Steinbrenner/Al Davis of the NBA (minus their titles).

Allen is petty when it comes to his business relationships. I don't know how anyone can arrive at any other conclusion. Unless you meant something other than 'petty'?
 
hahah ya, one of the first words that come to mind when thinking of PA after "rich" is "petty."

Are you kidding with the Pritchard has professional decency?

As a fan I will take having a "irrational" owner like PA over a "professional decency" GM like KP. Reality is KP is a dime a dozen and PA is one of the richest owner in all of sports who is wiling to try and buy a title.

So what if PA wants to tweet about a rumor?

Unfortunately, you can't buy a title. If you could, the Knicks and Blazers would be in the finals every year. You can't just throw money at the team and sit back and watch the titles roll in. You need to hire the right people and then let them do their jobs. Unfortunately, Paul Allen seems incapable of doing either.

I don't see a problem calling out Canzano for his "sources". I mean, honestly, PA's doing the beat writers' job for them.

Canzano said he has a "source" that says KP might be re-hired. From the mouth (tweet) of PA himself, he says that's complete BS.

Maybe it's not a big deal because it's a hack columnist in a backwater town compared to some, but if Broussard or Screamin' A or Bucher got showed up for an outright lie like this, people would be laughing at the "reporter", not the subject.

And as far as MIller, I'm not his biggest fan, but saying that they're not rehiring anyone might mean just that. They'd heard that someone was reporting that, and wanted to quash the rumor. :dunno:

True, is takes a special mix to win a title with only a handful of teams being able to do it in the last decade.

But I do think you can throw money around and make a small market team into a consitenet playoff team . . . and maybe with a little luckyou can throw money around and buy a ticket to the NBA championship series a la Cuban and the Mavs.

PA was colse to a championship before. I think will get one before he is done.

Unfortunately, you can't rush the process. It takes time. Like I said, you need to hire the right people and then let them do their jobs. Either Paul isn't hiring the right people, or he isn't giving them the time to build a winner - I suspect it's quite a bit of both.

This organization lacks direction and lacks stability. It seems like Paul Allen is desperate for a quick fix. Short of falling ass backwards into a superstar, or two, that WANT to come to Portland and force their way here, there is no quick fix. Hiring and firing GMs repeatedly doesn't seem like a good way to build a winner. And, the more of these shenanigans Paul Allen pulls the harder it will be to convince a top notch GM that working for Paul Allen is a good career move.

Oh to have the opportunity to experience getting paid a ridiculous amount of money to make poor draft picks for a basketball team. The horror of it all. Where do you come up with this crap?

There was absolutely no need for the organization to go all out in denying this rumor, with Larry doing interviews and PA tweeting specifically, and vehemently that KP is not in consideration. Makes it look petty and unprofessional.

Or maybe... they doth protest too much?

Forget about "best." He isn't even the richest owner in the league right now.
 
It is time for PA and KP to have a rap war.

Ain't nobody in the NBA bigger than me
That’s Like an Apple exec trying to be smarter than me
That’s Like a Darius saying he works harder than me
That’s Like Mark Cuban having more rings than me
That’s like a rookie having more cars and things than me
That’s like you saying to yourself that your better than me
That’s like Pritchard saying to himself he’s better than me

Now stop, think about that
It aint about that at all

Paul Allen
Back from GREAT trip to Africa, including these falls in Namibia. In France now studying video for NBA draft. http://twitpic.com/58dtrx

That is so cool. From a trip to Africa (where he takes time to posts a picture) off to France to study video for NBA . . . what a great place to study video, and what a heck of a life. If I had PA or Cuban money, I would be doing the exact same thing.
 
The unnamed source was the same reason KP got fired, his agent Warren Lagarie. KP and his scumbag agent will never learn.. Paul with the #smackdown, canzano and KP can suck a dick.

Why is Paul Allen studying video in France? I guess we know who really wants to be the GM.
 
Its crazy how little people know about the best owner in the NBA. The scouting department sends Paul tapes on all the players they are interested in. They been doing this forever, Paul studies the players and is also in the war room on draft day every year. People should be thankful he cares so much (i am), he deeply wants a championship.

With all the words you try to label PA with like vile and petty, you really haven't figured him out or know him at all.

If PA really wanted to be GM . . . he would be the GM. You don't get that by now?
