An near-anagram of John Nash is "Hah! Jason"
And so say all of us.

Re: John Nash is either losing the plot, or is naturally rude
dude...he answered your requests...more than he should have....
Try not to abuse the ability to contact (and have him reply to you) by repeatedly contacting him...
Send him an email and let it go at that...repeatedly emailing him and asking him questions is going to inevitably result in this....
I don't think he was overly rude here...you could have easily looked some of those things up (specifically Jennings...and who cares about him anyway?)

Re: John Nash is either losing the plot, or is naturally rude
Good work ShamBulls. I really like his quote:

In the future, why not refer to some reference guides like media guides that we print to assist the media and anyone who has questions. There are not enough hours in the day to answer all of the emails inquiring about things that are available to those that care to research them.
|
Maybe we should stop e-mailing Nash, were taking too many hours out of his day, umm no I don't think so. I don't like how Nash became rude to you, he needs to show more composure. |

Re: John Nash is either losing the plot, or is naturally rude
Mr Nash was more then polite enough, he was entirely correct in what he said.
It is a waste of his time to be answering numberous email's on readily available facts.

Re: John Nash is either losing the plot, or is naturally rude
I think you were inconsiderate of his time - he's the General Manager of a professional sports team. You were asking questions that were available on the website under "media guide". I'd get on you too if you wasted my time with public information requests.
Suggestion: Call the Blazers main office and ask to speak with someone that can help you - in the future.

He answered my requests until he got bored, and rude.

I asked him a question, and responded with necessary follow up questions. I have never contacted him before, and won't again. I have abused nothing.

This is no defense. We were in a discussion.

I won't respond to this, because everything that needs to be said about it is in what I just posted above.

Why, I posed the question, does Nash have too much time on his hands. Most you guys said no. John Nash should know not everybody knows everything about the Blazers.

I treated him as such, with respect, and asked him a question. May I ask why have a publically available email address if we're not allowed to ask questions to it?

No, unsigned draft picks are not publically available informaiton. And so I didn't know about them signing Jennings? Devastating. You try knowing every transaction for every NBA franchise over the last 5 years. Nigh on impossible.

Nash does not have too much time on his hands. He uses half of his day to answer e-mails. That's his job.

It sounds to me like some of you think John Nash's job is to answer fan questions. I don't believe it is. I believe his job is to run a freaking NBA team, which he is rather average at anyways.
He is just answering some questions to be nice and for PR points. If he gets negative feedback from his answers do you think he's going to spend an extra 3 hours a day giving every fan detailed responses? No, he's just going to stop answering email all together. Then you won't be able to complain about any of his answers.

Re: John Nash is either losing the plot, or is naturally rude
It's real simple to understand...The players Portland holds rights to have never been signed to contracts, thereby they haven't needed to be wiaved to get rid of them. Jennings on the other had was signed to a contract and in camp. He subsequently was waived, meaning the team waived their rights to his contract.
In reading, Nash simply answered your questions til you bombed out the "All right calm down" bit.

Why do you care? Shouldn't you be trying to E-mail Joe Dumars or something?

I agree with Schilly, I thought he was fine until you said that.

I know how it works. I did not know Jennings had been signed. This was covered in the emails.

I'm sorry, but no, HE started it. If you ain't got nothing nice to say, don't say nothing.

Neither do I. Which begs the quesiton of why he allows his address to be out there.

If he gets negative feedback, he brought it upon himself, in which case no, he should not continue to do so.

That was a follow up to his "Please." comment. Which, you'll note, came first.
