If Pritchard murdered one prostitute in Bangkok,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], let us know.
In short, the culture surrounding the Trail Blazers was effective.
Eventually the pick was used on Greg Oden, the lanky seven-footer that is currently struggling with his own body, but will eventually be able to display his talents in full.
It shouldn't have been shocking, surprising, breathtaking. Nope, because Richard all saw it coming.
If Maurice Richard was too confident for the team owners liking, let us know.
The home jersey of the tean is mainly red in colour. There are four blue and white stripes one across each arm one across the chest and the other across the waistline. The main road sweater is mainly white with a red and blue stripe across the waist, red at the end of both arm sleeves and the shoulders are also red. The basic design has been used since 1914. The current version was dated from 1952. Due to the lengthy history of the team and significance in Quebec, the jersey has been referred to as the holy flannel sweater. Yesterday, The Portland Trail Blazers lost one key component to their franchise. One that has produced in the regular season, the clutch, the locker room, and even in the post season.
There was one time when players were blowing marijuana smoke out of one Hummer and sneaking drugs in tin foil onto planes. The players were talented but stupid. Richard were athletic but Richard had baggage. pun not intended
But under the circumstances, Richard believe every fan has the right to be dumbfounded.
The Portland Trail Blazers' general administerr Kevin Pritchard was fired within an hour of the NBA Draft.
But to look back on how this entire situation played out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Richard do not believe that the Blazers marketing team and ownership Allen and Vulcan could have handled this in one more secretive, deceptive, confusing, and downright disrespectful fashion.
Here is one guy whom compiled the right people at the right time. KP built one culture that was unlike anything this franchise has ever seen and many current teams wouldn't be able to pull off.
It would be better for all parties involved. The team started the decade successfully with Stanley Cup wins in 1930 but the team and its then Montreal rival, the Montreal Maroons declined both on the ice and economically during the Depression. Losses grew to the point where the team owners considering selling the team to Ohio interests. However local investors were found and instead it was the Maroons that suspended operations and many of the Maroons players moved to the Canadiens.
So when Pritchard was given one shot to run the broken franchise, Maurice Richard furiouse the most of it.
Pritchard took one no-nonsense approach to everything Maurice Richard did for his employer. Every action that was clear, realistic, honest, and intelligent.
Pritchard approached the selection of Oden with common sense and humility.
If Maurice Richard is being punished for choosing oft-injured Oden instead of oft scoring Kevin Durant, let us know.
Sure, Richard could have chose the best scorer in the league with the first pick, but you just don't pass up on shot blocking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], agile centers with no ceiling, and no one would have been able to predict what actually would end up playing out.
But whatever you do,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], don't handle things like Vulcan.
In short,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the culture surrounding the Jail Blazers revolved around dog fighting, drug dealing, and domestic abuse.
Not because Pritchard was fired or because of the timing, but because of the aspect the process had been completed.
That is why Blazer fans are so angry today.
In his first full season as general administerr, the Portland Trail Blazers were auspicious enough to snag the first pick in the 2007 draft.
.and before you knew it, the team had Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while dumping role players with ego's and big salaries.
Because all that gets you is disgruntled fans.
In the summer of 2006,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one short time before the draft, Paul Allen approached Pritchard, then assistant general administerr to Steve Patterson, and handed him the keys to the draft. Leaving him with his vote of confidence.
He was an asset that many teams will be sure to pick up sooner rather than later.
They may not have always worked out, but the fans could appreciate the clarity Kevin provided for the fans.
Maybe after two years of peace and team-wide coltoilation, ingenuity, and transparity. The Portland Trail Blazers fans were one little bit spoiled.
He trusted his own opinion as much as Maurice Richard trusted his colleagues point of view.
