How about Steve Patterson as GM? (again)

I counted 3 people in the thread that were pro-Patterson, rest is against it.

I'm a MOF? I bash Morey constantly because of him dictating the system, assembling a broken roster, hiring puppet coaching staffs and having a bad 1st round draft record and questionable moves.

It's sad when posters like you have to label everyone that disagrees with your notion a MOF or whatever-OF.

 

Idiots.

Steve ain't coming back to the Rockets given how they treated his son Patrick.

 

Bottom line is Steve Patterson made the necessary moves to build a championship team that won two titles and he's available. Just go look at the brilliant moves to draft Horry and Sam I am. He brought Vernon Maxwell in for cash considerations, which is the greatest $ball move of all-time. Maury in his almost 10 years of playing fantasy basketball with the rockets has nothing to show for it other than a bunch of male groupies on an Internet message board and a team full of depreciating "assets." Unless you're a Maury only fan, of which there are a lot, you shouldn't want to continue a failed process that you've been asked to place trust in for almost a decade now.

 

Les fired Patterson because he said the organization wasn't being run well under him. So, what makes you guys think he'll run it to Les' liking if he's re-hired?

 

You win this thread.

 

'member when the Blazers took Oden over Durant? But Patterson drafted Horry. They're still writing articles in Oregon about how awful the Patterson Blazers era was.

 

To be fair, I think it's mostly that one columnist in Portland who obviously had/has a serious axe to grind with Patterson (not that many others don't).

 

Yeah, it looks like he's holding a big grudge. Nevertheless, the evidence that he cites is pretty damning.

 

Yeah, I read a bunch of that right before and after he was hired at UT. Knowing nothing really about the actual situation in Portland back then, all I could think was "Uh, maybe oh ****?". Then a lot of it repeated itself in Austin.

 

What the hey is the difference? SP and Owner Alexander did not leave as bosom buddies.

 

You really think Patterson, as controlling of a personality as we all KNOW he is, really sat back and had no sign off on the #1 pick, as important as it was that year?

if you believe that, I suggest you take off your "he promoted Rudy" goggles off. You're believing his lies

 

Of course he said that.

I can't get fired from Burger King. It's an honor serving you and your Grammy on a nightly.
