Right, I've lowered the standards of the debate because some guys place others on ignore for disagreeing with them and I simply say that's pretty feminine. Then I am attacked as being sexist and chauvinistic by people who don't even know what the word means. Sure.lol!

If he was doing so, he was assuming a male chauvinistic tone by attempting to imply the inferiority of women.

No No No

And I already explained why.

You are the one that did that. Not Milli or I.

As for honest and mature. I think you have things backward my friend. Actually everything you are writing is backward.

You are the one that owes Milli an apology for trying to tag him with your chauvinistic views. And any women on the board you offended.

Umm, no. Lol. Perhaps you don't know what the word sexist even means. In no way was the statement I posted above discriminatory against women, nor viewing them as inferior to men.

Dude, get some help...

Help with what ?

Come on now DAT

You have posted here a long time. This is in no way as low as the board has gone.

People just got their noses bend out of shape when he came out posting positive stuff about the team and saying they were wrong. So that group attacked him. The man has a right to fight back.

Thanks hands. Didn't realize a clique of cheerleaders would get all pissy and attack 1 guy with a different point of view. LOL

Be careful with the and 1s

They can no long be undone from what I can see.

The pages are kind of wide and the news section takes up a lot of space. Not sure I need a separate new banner for Soccer, but I'm sure they had goals there were trying to achieve with info displays, etc.

RealGM article about Ujiri, Toronto was smart to hire him.

It looks like you can take the and 1's back. Just refresh the screen.

You need Soccer Hands, you just don't know it yet.

Ahh.. that was intuitive. Thanks..

Soccer you say.. Hmm. Well I played when I was younger. Not against soccer. Just not looking for updated news on the topic.

Ernie Grunfeld highly approves of any and all soccer discussion, particularly in this thread.

Man, that World Cup sure was something special!

The Wizards have been trying to move second-year guard Glen Rice Jr. in a trade before Jan. 10 when all contracts become fully guaranteed, CSNwashington.com has confirmed with persons with knowledge of the situation. A 48-hour window when a deal might have been struck has passed, however, which makes a trade unlikely and means he'd be released instead.

We shall see what happens next, all I know is that we don't have:
Nate Wolters
Jeff Withey
Sato
Draymond Green

We have to pay Webster and Rice is gonna get waived (possibly).

Yep. The koolaid of a playoff series win and a fast start tastes so good that we have largely hit the pause button on our contempt for Grunfeld. But this is yet another major fail.

GRJR cost us two high 2nd draft picks, one of which turned out to be a very serviceable, young back up PG - a major need.

The years-long squandering of assets is just mind boggling, and should have gotten EG fired years ago.

We should have major, mega young depth to fill out the roster with our two up and coming stars and sprinkling of serviceable vet leaders.

We could have it all - a competitive team now, cap room in 2016 for KD2DC, and some developing young uns.

EG. Blech!

Ernie Grunfeld signed Martel Webster to a 4-year deal in the summer of 2013 only to try and trade him less than a year later before the 2014 draft.

The Wizards were making Martell Webster available in trade talks, but now he's likely staying in Washington after undergoing back surgery.

Don't "settle" for Ernie, we are bound to be "Grunfelded" yearly.

Ernie, executive of the year.

Turned 4 lottery selections, multiple mid first rounders and a glut of high 2nd round draft choices into the oldest team in the league.

Has $17.5 million tied up in the SF position, while not having a PG option outside of soon to be 39 year old Andre Miller, the teams 7th highest paid player.

Pays $8.4 million to Seraphin, Gooden, Temple and Blair in 2014, that's 13% of the 2014 salary cap.

The teams best player off the bench is a 35 year old training camp invitee, a mere afterthought.

Roster building at its finest, executive of the year.

Just about sums it up.

Horrible resource management.

And once he makes a trade, he'll lose it.

IS IT TIME TO FIRE ERNIE GRUNFELD?
