Vlade goes Hinkie with cap space

[LightTheBeam]

I’m at a loss at how I can help you.

Rebel listed:
2 deals before free agency
Several deals after free agency

Rebels deals before free agency had 1) a huge cost and 2) had the Sixers getting with 1.5 2nds a player he felt was neutral value.

Based off that Denver paid to dump a neutral value player who Philly projects to play significantly can’t minutes he then said the price beforehand isn’t as big as people think it is.

That one detail was his basis, and it was flawed.

I’ve spelled this out a lot now.

I’m amazed I think we are up to 20 posts on how:
Being available for salary dumps all of July is better than for only part of July. There seems to be a need to defend the Kings first, and find a way to second. Because that should not have been confrontational...

The way I see it is that it's just as likely to make a deadline deal for tax purposes as it is pre free agency..

And dude go ahead ban me, warn me do whatever you need to but you are full of bologna.

"At this point the Kings have waited until there is no demand"

Not even worth discussing with you anymore. You are always right and if anyone disagrees then it's being confrontational. What a joke.

Okay so we are back at take personal shots cause you have no argument? That break from that lasted a short time.

Maybe if you get banned then it won’t look like you had no point?

I’m not really interested in bailing you out of your foolishness.

Feel free to stand proudly with the argument that starting to look for cap deals on July 7th is just as likely to result in one as if a team had started to look a month beforehand, it is a heck of a position to take.

Personal shots? How the hell do they let you mod on here for christ sakes? I said you are full of bologna and showed that to be true based on quoting your previous post.

Yes because my argument was exactly that. Now whose turning to strawman.

Why dont you take a second to survey the landscape of the NBA and see we are treading unprecedented waters.. Many teams in the luxury tax, barely any teams with cap space. But go ahead and continue to misrepresent my argument.

If you think I shouldn’t be a mod because I think twice the time looking for cap dump deals is better than half the time, that doesn’t feel like an issue with me.

And this isn't some "hes always targeting the kings" because I think you'd maintain the same opinion for many other teams. But had it been your own? Well that's a different story.

So this starts with an implication that HW is a homer. Not something I would want to accuse a fellow board regular with a reputation for objectivity of.

And dude go ahead ban me, warn me do whatever you need to but you are full of bologna.

Then we go with the passive aggressive just ban me then which essentially is implying that Hartford would abuse his Mod powers because you and he got into a disagreement. This is a big and very insulting insinuation and one that makes it potentially more difficult for him to fulfill his role in the future.

How the hell do they let you mod on here for christ sakes?

And we finish it off with a very unambiguous, can't be misinterpreted attack on his role here as a Mod. None of this is remotely necessary or appropriate to take place on this forum.

If you think a moderator is out of line in response to you or another poster or just in general, you have lots of options. You can report the post and another moderator will look into it. You can always PM me or any of the other board moderators. And of course you can always PM Howard Mass and he will be happy to investigate.

And before you say we will just blindly support our fellow mods, well I'm going to ask that you give us more credit than that. I won't call anyone else out here, but I will admit that on more than one occasion one of my fellow Mods has edited my post and advised me to take a different tack.

But these types of attacks against any poster and/or moderator are of course not acceptable. I know emotions can run high, but let's take a different approach moving forward please.
