Although PP was not bad from behind the arc, I was never comfortable with a PF shooting 3's. Best of luck to PP!

THANK YOU, PATRICK! You and the great memories you brought will be missed. We love and admire your hard play and will continue to follow your career and cheer for you. Best of luck to an intelligent and articulate man and player! Take care of yourself.
Dirk couldn't win once Tyson Chandler left. We needed a PF on the low block with upside, more than Patterson.
Damn man, this is like all emotional and ****. Only problem I have with Morey is he treats players a little too much like assets. Would be nice to have some stability.
I hope Royce sees this and realizes he's the next one to get shipped out. Take that for anxiety, dumbass b****.
Man, i knew this was going to happen but damn, I feel bad for him. I hope he continues to develop his game and becomes successful in SAC.
I seldom post in these "appreciation" threads. But I'll miss Pat. He's a good guy. I liked him since we drafted him. He's a hard worker and a willing learner. I still hope that he'll prove a lot of people wrong and be a great PF someday. Pat, work on your low post game. And even if you are not a gifted rebounder, at least remember to box out.
