What happened to the british stiff upper lip? brits are normally rather thick skined shamebulls must be french.

what nash wrote was not rude at all in the US it was dirext and to the point you could have found the info here or on the web he was getting annoyed at your short but over sent emails. I would be annoyed too, the email is for short questions not interviews. There are very few GM in all american pro sports that would even return your emails let alone in the nba.

get over it

Meanie. I'm telling.

Hey Sham....sorry if anyone is getting on you for this post.
Personally I didn't find his responses all that rude, but those kind of things are definately up to interpretation. The reason I don't find them rude is that these responses are on par with most of his past responses. Obviously, he is a Gm, and he has opened himself up to this public dialogue via email. Which is a neat thing for a Gm to do, however, this also puts restraints on the amount of time he can spend on replies. In the past he has always been very direct and to the point with answers, and this is due to his job.... he can't spend too much time on emails. And, sometimes when answers are short and direct, they can seem rude. We as a people are used to discourse with individuals who have time to make things wordy, to better explain a point and to put emphasis on emotion. However, he really doesn't have that luxory. Just my opinion.

Next time you have a question like that, just post it here. You know we've got that kind of thing covered.

Annoyingly, I did, about 6 weeks ago. Even more annoyingly, nowhere in the ensuing thread did the fact that Jennings had been signed come up. Indeed, I came away with the opposite impression. But it was merely an impression.

The reason I took it to Nash was because of the second part of the original question - since Sheffer retired, why keep his rights? Understandable if they don't have to actually do anything to keep them, but if they do, then why bother? He didn't directly answer that but seems to allude to the fact that they don't have to do anything, so fair enough.

Re: Jason Jennings, WHO THE HELL CARES? He should not be a "player" that anyone needs to do research on, unless you're a long-lost relative or you went to high school with him.

I'm with Nash. And I don't think he's "losing the plot," whatever the heck that means.

I care, because it is for something I am making.

OK?

The subsequent back and forth has been........interesting. And disrespectful.

Everything I post below is a direct quote.

I opened:

That annoyed me. I was determined to take advantage of it being my turn.

Now you can leap to defend him, that's fine. Look out for your own and all that. But I ask - what is the point of accepting and responding to the public's emails if you're going to get on them for it? For not knowing something?

There is also a link to the Blazers Media quide...I suggest you use it since you obviously didn't in this case.

This is something that can be downloaded, hopefully it will help you for what you are looking for and you won't have to deal with that mean "John Nash" again.

To the above two posters:

PDF's crash my computer, but I will look at a later date from another.

However, I don't see in those descriptions anything related to unsigned draft picks, or a team transaction history*. If it's there, give me a push.

EDIT

* = that contains Jennings.
