that's a stupid assumption to make. even if someone here was negative EVERYTHING (and nobody is), basketball talk doesn't encompass EVERYTHING. want to talk about food? sex? beer? the 49ers? the 2013 thunder? we can have plenty of uplifting conversations.

having negative thoughts about the thunder right now is not being 'unnecessarily negative'. and what pompous idiot is making the determination of what is 'necessarily' negative and what isn't in the first place?

It was a joke.

And apparently struck a nerve.

Dipo had a contract that made the salaries work. Who has that size contract this year? Adams and Westbrook. One of them has to be moved if you are going to bring in someone like that.

Unless the other player is still on his rookie deal.

I was thinking of potential Presti targets in that regard, but only MCW came to mind and he's a) not on his rookie contract anymore and b) can't be dealt because he's expiring.

joke or no joke, i'm sure anyone's had someone say something stupid like 'oh so and so must be depressed! how can they be so negative about [insert narrow, specific interest]! how do they enjoy life?'

if you spend a lot of time with a person who actually has problems on a day to day basis, it's probably a great idea to take a step back and consider what must be causing that. because it's true, if someone is negative about everything, behaving unusually dreary, something's probably going on. reducing that sentiment to basketball arguments on realgm is insulting to people actually facing real problems. so yeah, you struck a nerve.

I wasn't joking in that sense

Was saying (and really at this point Kizz mostly) is doom and gloom no matter what happens.

kizz thinks terrance ferguson is going to be jimmy butler. that's probably the most optimistic take on this entire board.
