    Sorry, I don't. He's the president of the team. He could've brought this to a head when Lawson was smelling like booze at practice 2 years ago. Instead they gave him an extension and basically ignored his issues.

    Deck, Kroenke is one of the very worst front office controllers in basketball. He's not a basketball guy. That team has went to pot on his watch. He fired Karl and they've gone straight to pot. He's not a basketball guy.

    Durant also said he modeled his game after T-Mac.

    From a basketball perspective, of course he might be better served running a chain of Burger Kings. I was impressed by what he had to say, though. Perhaps he's just good at writing that sort of thing, but it sounded like genuine concern, or maybe I've been in the sun too long.

    That's what it sounds like, no doubt. But when you know a person's character their words take on a different tone. Sorry, don't want to disparage him but I don't respect him. His record with the Nuggets and Avalanche speaks volumes.

    Kroencke is just another Jim Buss, "daddy put me there", Stan was ok but he's not allowed to run the team due to NFL rules. There's a pretty noticeable difference between self made and generational nitwits, Josh is very much the latter.

    Couldn't have said it better. In fact, I wrote Jim Buss' name in my post and decided to delete it. But you've got it.

    Most lop-sided poll in Clutchfans history?

    A really excellent point about the turnovers. Repped!

    But how bad is Bev's assist to TO ratio?

    This 100%

    This is a toy from Daddy that he has ran into the ground.

    Also all he did was gently run Ty into the ground pointing out problems that he claims he has known about for years. He also didn't even realize that he admitted the team has wanted to trade Lawson for sometime yet didn't trade him until his value completely bottomed out.

    If he really had respect for Lawson he would have said nothing or simply wishes him good luck and success. Bringing up hindsight stories about Lawson not giving 100% and having personal issues was an effort to deflect the negativity onto Ty, but really all it did was show how incredibly inept he is at his job.

    Bballholics point that Ty was rewarded with an extension only proves the point. You can surround **** with a bed of roses and it is still ****.

    It's 100% approval. The 2% is just margin of error. You gotta expect some bologna with polls from guys like Jontro along with a few people hitting the wrong button. That's margin of error. 100% approval.

    Kroenke was just doing the generic PR speech to save his ass and sound reasonable.

    The guy is a pathetic owner. Ask Arsenal fans - he is the largest shareholder there
