Grant Napear = Mouth Piece

[Merdiesel]

Dude is nothing more than a mouth piece.

Anybody else listening his show right now? Bad mouthing the **** out of Martin to start the show as if he was the sole reason we've been terrible the past couple years. Apparently Kevin was supposed to carry scrubs like Miller and Salmons to the playoffs.. ?? Also, according to this [mod edit: no name calling], Landry is the second coming of Kareem.

 

[hrdboild]

That Grant Napear sure is one classy guy.

 

[kingzfan]

Grant is a [mod edit: no name calling] ...i cant believe how he is slamming kevin right now...but he always does that when one of our players leave..[mod edit: inappropriate] it will be the best day ever when that *** gets traded!

 

[gmcfly]

Grant is right. Why can't you handle the truth? Kevin was bringing the team down. It ws very apparent. Do you want a radio host to say nice things all the time even if they're not true?

true or not. You don't bad mouth a guy that gave his heart and soul for to a team for this long through good times and bad.

So what he says and you think is automatically the truth?.. thanks for proving my point bro.

 

[kingzfan]

mike lamb is quite annoying too i must say.

 

[Superman]

No sir

Edit: I'm opening this back up. Had to clean some inappropriate stuff out. Let's refrain from the name calling and politics, and such. Thanks.

Kevin was bringing this team down.

But its still classless for Grant to do his usual post trade thing where he tears up the guy who just left town. It is pure politics -- sell the move the team made by trying to tear up the reputation of the guy just moved.

I'll be interested in seeing how the organization handles this in upcoming broadcasts. The Webber/Adleman era stuff was just obscenely classless where there was an obvious moratrouium in talking about those guys and certainly of saying anaything nice. Just true chump work. We'll see if the same self-justification process taks place this time, or if they have gotten over that rampant insecurity.

 

[Merdiesel]

Petrie is on right now...

 

[Merdiesel]

Petrie just said he had a bias towards not trading Martin leading up to the deadline.

Classless really is the word.
The thing that really bothers me is that these guys are the ones that have their voices heard be everyone. In no way does this represent how the true fans of the Sacramento Kings feel about guys like Martin.

 

[Packt]

When Grant started to dump on Martin it was a sign Martin had lost favor with the organization. He would never have been as openly critical if the organization still saw Martin as part of the long term plans.

Westphal is about to come on and talk with Grant and Mike about the trade.

...and that's the problem.
He's not speaking for himself. It's all part of an agenda it seems like.

To be totally honest, I wasn't second guessing the trade as much until I heard Grant gushing over it. Grant and Mike are so full of **** it's not even funny.

 

[xrzn]

Westphal said just looking at the roster on paper, he's thinking of starting with Landy and JT to see how it'll go. Hello small ball.

 

[timmytrio43]

Geez too many Kings fans ..all sensitive ... Grant tells the truth hes not bad mouthing anybody Hes a talk show host with an opinion Hes around the
team all the time.

 

[gmcfly]

If anything Grant has been right about Kevin. If he ws so valuable and good for the Kings then why was he traded? All Grant has been saying is...Kevin is weak mentally and isn't the toughest kid on the block. Honestly, do any of you really think that's not true. Grant speaks his mind and obviously the Kings have no problem with it. He's been their announcer for 20 years. The truth is the truth. Leave the emotions out of it. If anything, Grant deserves credit for not being a homer.

Ok, so you've now said the same exact **** twice now.

Grant's opinion ≠ truth

Come on man. It's not about emotion. I've had my heart ripped how so many times as a Kings fan, I can give a **** less about emotion. It's about being the big voice of a city the day after a major trade for this team, and going on a rant on how much of a p***y the guy is as soon as he leaves town. Grant made it sound like Kevin was the main problem with this team the past 4 years. It's pathetic. The problem is trading away talent for garbage and signing guys that shouldn't even be in the league and expecting them to win games. You say anything about how soft Spencer is or how many lame fouls Thompson commits you're instantly shouted down by O'Napear and his girlfriend purely because the team is committed to them financially. It's a joke. Grant Napear and Mike Lamb are nothing but drones and if you're buying into their crap then you're not worth the argument.

Wow, looks like we now your 'opinion = truth'. It just switched to you, that's all. If you don't like Grant, don't listen to his show.

 

[VF21]

Both sides are entitled to their opinions. It's kind of why message boards exist.

sweet jebus

Most the forum was on the trade Kevin bandwagon. It's not that they disagree with Grant on Kevin's troubles, it's that he plays a total homer and even his current dissing is part of being a PR mouthpiece. He has routinely sweet talked up players while the official Maloofs emblem is showing, then when they get traded he paints them out as the devil that put the hoodoo on the team.

The problem with Grant is that there are two Grants, and both are bull****ters.

He's a professional!

 

[Merdiesel]

Wow, great input.
First of all, nothing I said was an opinion, genius. 2nd, there's nothing to let go, I'm alright with us going another direction and sending Martin on his way, it might turn out to be for the better for both teams, this is just about showing a little ****ing class in the process. Apparently some people on here don't have an understanding as to what that is.

Wow, looks like we now your 'opinion = truth'. It just switched to you, that's all. If you don't like Grant, don't listen to his show.

What is that backwards? I'm not even gonna try to decipher that incoherent sentence.. lol

Well, it certainly appears that Napear's nutswingers are in the house.
