Now I want to see what he wrote now...

I think it'd be better if we all saw he wrote something crazy, even if it would be widely panned and ignored in the grand scheme of things

Trust me, you would not find what I wrote all that interesting. Nor would you see it as an "agenda against Russell" or see it as "baiting other posters". Only one person would have a problem with what I wrote. A person with his own agenda, and he exercised what was within his power as moderator to do.

I'm pretty high on Russell and Randle and am looking forward to seeing them in our new system with Luke. I would see them as follows in this draft:
Towns
Simmons
Ingram
Russell
Okafor
Porzingis
Randle
HIeld
Murray
Dunn
Bender
Clarkson

Nance I dont see in the lottery. Love him but he's a high- end screen setting and put-back dunk guy. You have to aim higher in the draft. I could also see Randle being pushed further down this list but I have a feeling he's going to start dishing out some assists where he had major tunnel vision for 3/4 of the season and if he does that he'll become extremely valuable

You would be pretty surprised by how many other posters continuously report your posts. Infact if I warned you every single time someone reports your posts for baiting, you'd be long gone a month or so ago. You're like a broken record that keeps playing the same song again and again, so that doesn't even surprise me.

You keep blaming me for having an agenda against you when infact I've deleted multiple reports to give you another chance to be useful but even that chance is gone now.

I"m not sure where this goes, but I'll put it here because it probably fits here the best.

For all of the crap that our young players get for their various flaws, we have to remember that it could be worse. We could've drafted James Young, who sucks so badly that the Celtics (who have absolutely zero depth on the wing and would kill for a competent player over 6'7 and can play SF) could waive him today and their fans would rejoice. My mother (a Celtics fan) is usually patient when it comes to younger players, but after this season, she was like "Goodbye James, you stink and you're wasting a roster spot".

Anyways, I'm glad we ended up with Clarkson rather than that scrub.

We've been really fortunate... the draft as we all know is such a crapshoot. More players fail to live up to expectations than do yet here we are with 4 guys in two drafts that look promising... credit to Mitch and co for scouting guys that at least look like they'll be able to make a career out of the NBA

Can I see some post or examples where I was "baiting other posters"? People complaining or upset because they don't like what I wrong or because I have a different opinion than theirs, is not something that I would classify as "baiting". I thought that we are all Lakers fans here expressing our opinion. It's quit possible that perhaps I don't know the meaning of or have a different definition of "baiting". I would really like to see some of these examples, because it's not like me to be rude to anyone.

Wonder what the all-knowing, arrogant a-hole thinks of James Young now.

I can't watch... The more I see of the kid the more I want him in a Lakers uniform. If he ends up anywhere else I'm going to be legit bummed.
Sometimes being wrong is awesome!!! :D
