Prove it.


How about a defacto ALL-STAR forward PLUS the removal of the very WORST contract on the Bucks roster ? T R E M E N D O U S V A L U E
Do you require further proof ?


Im not going to lie, I think he got you guys here.

He might drive his username, don't make him angry, he's wealthy.


I really want to do a deep throat joke here but it would totally be inappropriate and either MD or PP would delete it.

The worst contract on the roster wasn't removed. Gadzuric is still here.

Gads is the second string center at 5 or 6 million
Simmons would have been the 4th or 5th string SF at 8 or 9 million

Please recalculate your contract values---admittedly GADS has limited value
Simmons, however,had ZERO value PLUS being a cancer

Goodbye Mo. Much more action coming soon. Improved team this year.

Both players suck. Neither would play very much but Gadz has an extra year on his contract, therefore he is a worse contract.

Bentley, I'm glad you dragged this thread up:

Fair enough.

...he has tremendous VALUE to the franchise and could only be dealt for
tremendous VALUE in return.


I'd agree he has/had a lot of potential value, proved with the trade. As for proving this, I'm sure there would have been increased mechandise sales, increased television audiences/sponsorship with this but I don't know how much the Bucks actually saw. Also, it's likely that money goes to Herb, not the team. Perhaps he had tremendous value for Herb?

Nah coz he's only been gone a year and this guy's been here longer. Didn't he get booted? Couldn't have the same joining date?

Deepthroat? I doubt it. It doesn't take insider knowledge to figure that Yi's great potential, marketing value, skill, and rookie contract give him a high value and that the Bucks would only trade him for high value in return. Kohl flew to China and kissed ass to bring him here, he wasn't going to give him away for Kibbles and Bits.

As for whether Gadz or Simmons had a worse contract, why bother quibbling? Let's just agree to correct it to "arguably" the worst contract on the Bucks and leave it at that.

DT had no "insider" connections of any kind. Like 99% of the people here he threw out a bunch of hunches, was right sometimes and wrong most of the time.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

But this guy is filthy rich, just like Deep Throat. He lives next to Lebron James! And he points out how our occupations pale compared to his (whether it be best buy or trumpet playing). If I were a betting man, I would say this is him.

Well we'll have to wait for one of his many servants to go and alert him to the insults of us plebs. Then he'll have to wake his joke/speech writing team and ask them to formulate a witty and devastating rebuttal. Also, consulting Nostradamus and confirming another of his seer-like trade ideas may be in order.

Shows what you know.
Only peons like us have just one screen name here.
For every $10 million that you earn trading stocks, RealGM rewards you with an additional screen name.
That's why Deep Throat was so cavalier with his other screen name. Why care about risking getting a screen name banned when you have earned another one already? It's kind of like how he doesn't bother getting suits dry cleaned. He just throws them away and buys new suits.

Nothing wrong with having a big Eggo, as long as you have enough syrup for it.

Or when his car runs out of fuel near a car sales place, he just wanders over and gets a new one. Or should I say he gets his chaueffer to run over and quickly buy one before the effect of the airconditioner wears off and he starts to get warm/cold.
