VULCAN IS EVIL!!

[SlyPokerDog]

Wow Canzano is really stirring up the masses today!

I can't believe how many people fall for his bullshit.

The bean-counters and the fans will always be enemies. That is just the natural order of things in sports.

It really is astonishing. Nobody has ever played this city/state better than he has.

He's nothing but a wind up merchant.

(That one's for you Ronan)

Am i the only one that thinks it's funny that Sly posted a thread about Vulcans with a goatee Spock avatar?

This is the Brandon Roy contract situation all over again, in other words it is nothing to worry about.

For the record...if the season goes south from here I'm blaming this move for it!

Agree. Once again, Crapzano is making shit up to bring attention to himself. He's pathetic.

I noticed that he kept saying that Tom Penn was "Vice President of the Trail Blazers". That isnt true. Penn was Vice President of Basketball Operations & Asst. GM. BIG BIG BIG difference.

GO VULCAN!

lolz

 

[julius]

I can't be the only one who just doesn't care that Penn was fired, can I?

 

[THE HCP]

He made some very smooth moves with us. Landed us Rudy for 1 thing. I think he will be missed.

 

[MickZagger]

Canzano can't get a real reason for the firing, so he speculates with second-hand information and dedicates a 3 hour radio show and column to it. He's going to look like even more of an idiot when (or if) the real truth comes out. But, I'm sure he will take it in stride and ignore it, like he usually does when he's wrong, which is most of the time.

Funny thing is I think the agent played Canzano. Agent goes to press and gives just enough to have the media start questioning if KP is next and to feel sympathy for Penn.


Canzano gets the story . . . but the agent controlled the story.

Sorry, but figuring out we could get a trade exemption in the Zach deal was not rocket science. If KP could not do this on his own or with the help someone paid alot less, he is not a good GM. I still like the deal, but it still required a massive buyout of Francis and gave away an All-star.

With the raise Penn recieved after the Minnesota episode, the bar was set pretty high to justify his pay. IMO, he failed to do that.

penn and kp have the same agent...why would kps agent want to stir up rumors about him being fired?

No kidding.

 

[KingSpeed]

The first time I met KP, I thanked him for putting together the team and he introduced me to Tom and said "Thank him." So this firing seems odd to me.

You know Canzano is telling a lie when he states, "some people say". He passion for making things up is nonstop.

QFT.

I heard a few of the calls that came in later last night on Rip City Live. I couldn't believe some of the stuff I was hearing. All I could think was "Hook, line and sinker.".

I have no idea why this agent acted like an idiot. But if the agent say to the press something to the effect that they won't extend KP during the season but they will do a drive by hit on Penn . . . if he didn't realize what the press, and particularly Canzano, would do with that, then he isn't very savy.

I think this agent was pissed and trying to take shots at the organization including using KP.

 

[hasoos]

I don't see what the big deal is. I am pretty sure with the timing of this that Penn had been out fishing for GM level jobs elsewhere and got caught doing it. That is not a very smart thing to do when a billionaire had gone out of his way to give you a huge raise and title to retain you recently. When those people find out that despite their effort to retain your loyalty you are out fishing for the Clippers GM job, that tends to not go over to well. You might as well send Paul Allen a letter saying "I don't want to be here."

No, you are not alone.
