For all the KOC-hating Goons...

[Borat]

I know you weren't actually having a dig at me, but I still thought it worth trawling teh intrawebs for a contemporary article to let LHM speak for himself. This is from the Deseret News, 6 Oct 2004:



Key points: this article quotes Miller extensively, barely mentions KOC, compares AK to Gasol, and reminds us AK was the team leader in points, boards, blocks and steals.

So? Because this article does not quote KOC, that means he had nothing to do with the huge mistake of signing AK? BS. The key quote is this:

"We're gonna continue to talk and see what comes out of it," O'Connor said. "I can't say 'yes' or 'no' or anything else."

Now we see what came out, and it wasn't anything too good, was it?

Besides, Jazz had opportunities to trade AK for Marion, Carter, TMac, and simply get out of the contract (a la Fisher), which AK proposed after World championships. They refused every one of these moves. Whether it is KOC or Miller, I don't know. But AK's situation was a huge mistake by FO, and they kept making it again and again choosing to keep AK and his contract even when there were opportunities to get rid of it.

InGameStrategy,

I sit corrected and aplogize for the rant at you. I was so fired up reading this thread about KOC getting some props from a random outsider and then having the insiders tear him down. Then becuase you have posted - reasonably - against Sloan in the past, i just attacked. And i shouldn't have.

Sorry,
Harcher.

Hey thanks for the apology bro. Not needed or expected, but duly acknowledged. I know that I can be a spark at times. --IGS
