If you want to discuss something with me, fair game and fine to do it, but this passive aggressive scoreboarding bull is not ok.

What makes you think any of this was about you? Lol

It’s not the small market. It’s the small market-thinking. More than a few teams have drafted and traded for players that were considered afterthoughts in order to build a contender.

Think about the Warriors. Both Steph and Klay were late lottery picks that were passed over for. Tyreke Evans, Ricky Rubio, and Jonny Flynn were drafted before Steph. Of course we know Draymond was a 2nd rounder. The Warriors were smart enough to bench former All-Star David Lee because the team played better with Draymond on the floor. That’s just one of a few adjustments they made like convincing former All-Star Iguodala that he’d better service the team off the bench as a versatile player that can spell multiple positions.

Then think about the Bucks. Giannis was drafted just outside of the lottery in the middle of the 1st round and Middleton is a 2nd round draft pick that they traded for from the Pistons. Middleton was considered to be a afterthought in that trade as it was moreso a swap of Brandon Jennings for Brandon Knight.

Good teams make the necessary adjustments and put the players in the best position to succeed. That’s where we’ve failed particularly in the Clifford era while I argued against most if not all of it throughout the tenure. Lamb should’ve been starting at least 2 seasons ago and Batum might’ve benefited from coming off the bench a la Iguodala. That’s without mentioning that Batum never should’ve been playing SG in the first place which was something I argued against from the beginning.

Small markets have been thriving in the NBA while alleged big market teams like the Lakers and Knicks have struggled.

There’s no purpose of debate if you can’t discuss the outcome after time answers the unknown questions. I pray that you grow some tougher skin like the kind of a armadillo.

You aren't discussing, you're mocking and insulting. Discuss topics, don't scoreboard other views. It's annoying and adds nothing to the discussion.

Again, we've been down this road many times, this isn't new and it's not going to become ok.


No insults? Sounds like a fair deal to me, Ben. No insults.

Fortunately statements don't have feelings. If someone makes an argument, it is totally fair game to refer to the argument as dumb, silly, etc. It is not insulting a person to critique an argument or statement.

Exactly Einstein so get off our back for critiquing your stance after it all hit the fan and still splashin’. Remember, armadillo skin.

See my response to the bizarre bump in the Gary Harris thread.

Reviving old discussions for the sole purpose of criticizing those who took a different position and to point out your position is not ok.

Specifically saying you're attempting to serve crow is the exact thing you've been warned about. It's not a discussion of a current topic or statement.

Personally I have no problem with a person telling me that I was wrong after the truth come to light especially after I spent several posts trying to tell them that they’re wrong.

There’s somebody out there that I can’t remember that supposed to shat on me about Jayson Tatum even tho it appears that he’s hit a sophomore slump. I must concede that he’s a lot better than I expected him to be. I blame Brandon Ingram for my perception of Tatum. I thought he was just another limited overhyped Duke wing but he’s extremely skilled. It might’ve been Liver Pooty.

Okay, your statements backing Cho all these years are dumb as ****.

Moronic, odd, dull, uninformed, shortsighted, small minded statements backing Cho. Totally preposterous and irrational.

Oh ok so insulting someone's statements only applies to new topics. We musn't insult someone's statements once time has passed and new information is acquired. So insult statements as you wish in the current and nobody can do **** about it in the future. Hahaha. I'm out

I don't think Loves contract is that bad. Give me a solid 20 and 10 when healthy over 9 and 5.

he's only averaged 20 - 10 three times in his career, is injured almost as often as Zeller and according to my Cleveland fan friend is pretty crap in the block now.

he would rebound though
