    Then what's the point. He has 1 maybe 2 years left in the league. If we can get him for pennies on the dollar, sure. If not, big deal.

    It's absolutely impossible to have a reasonable conversation with you mags. You know this right?

    Happy with Wright. As others have said, the other team isn't leaving him. He plays smart, hard, and unselfishly. He's not playing as well as he will be by the end of the season. Between him and Dame having room to improve their game's this season and we're still 16-3 I'm very excited about the future of this season and beyond.

    I see Mo the same way and I'm not even saying it absolutely should be Miller (that was Nate's idea) he was just an example. But a more traditional point-guard in that backup role (because Lillard himself is more on the "shoot first" end of the spectrum) might help get the offense into its sets when the starters are resting or for those time when Dame is playing off the ball.

    Reasonable? You think making a deal "mid-season" while our team is 16-3 reasonable? I assume you just think stats on a piece of paper is all you need to determine what will build a dominant team? Ask New York and Brooklyn how that fared for them? Ask Lakers of last season how that worked for them. When you got a damn good thing going, why tinker with the line-up? Especially knowing that we have players that can and should get better.

    Mo is 30 years old. We can try Earl Watson as our PG as he has a decent Bball IQ. I mean the only way you're going to get a veteran PG is to trade a guy like CJ, Leonard and draft picks right now. We'd have to move Mo to backup 2 guard then. Neil isn't trading him, they're boys and the guys on the team like him.

    Was this not what you wrote?

    That was when I responded to you. Then you said I am unreasonable.

    Don't get all pissy because I called you out on the 11 PER vs. 15 PER argument.

    Where was this talk of trading Batum because Wright can fill the spot? I never heard that.

    You're jumping in the middle of what I said and ignoring what preceded it.

    imo, mo fits the 2nd unit better than miller would, but both would be even better

    If you are going to call me out for being "unreasonable" because I called you out on the 11 PER vs 15 PER trade, then defend that comment. Justifying it later because you amend some of it on another post is silly.

    What are you even talking about? I said you're unreasonable because you keep skipping over the part where I said there's no way Olshey tampers with the team's chemstry while they are rolling.

    For fucks sake... where did anyone say we should trade Mo Williams for Andre Miller? Anyone?

    I swear, it's like some of you WANT to get worked up. If you look in other threads, I specifically say I don't think we should make a trade right now. It's like you don't even read the posts, you just make quick judgement calls and start spewing out words as you froth at the mouth over a perceived slight to the team.

    Yes, I would love to have Andre Miller on this team. Any benefit you get from having Mo as a scorer would be nullified because Miller would instantly make the other players on the second unit better. Miller is currently coming off the bench for Denver, so I don't see how he would become some kind of malcontent.

    I'm not saying we should make a trade right now, but if the opportunity presented intself down the road to add Miller, I think we should take a look at it. I think he would be a great addition to our bench unit.

    With that said, calm the fuck down.
