You're argument was we don't know if he's realistic or not,
No that has never been my argument. He was always not realistic. I'm the one that said he will get paid. I agreed with it. Sorry you both need to go back and try to read.
 
So now you want to change back to me never saying he was realistic in the first place? Or do you want to go back to we are just fans and don't really know?
I'm honestly trying to figure out what point you're trying to make.

He's not possible due to the way the CBA and salary cap are structured. Why can't a fan know the CBA or salary cap?

I agreed with that many many posts ago. Like my very first post in response. Go back and read.

But I said he wasn't realistic and you said this:
I guess my point is we really don't know who is "Realistic" or "Not Realistic". We are fans. We watch games and try to be entertained.
Honestly, these two quotes seem contradictory to me, but maybe I'm misinterpreting what you were really trying to say, which is why I'm trying to gain clarity on it.

Literally my very first response to your statement said he will get paid. There is an assumption made there. The Bucks will pay him and keep him. The Blazers would not be able to get him. This is a statement made on this forum daily. Not sure why it is alluding both of you?

Sure and my response to Hoops was "I should rephrase that "I am a fan" instead of "WE". Because you and hoops obviously don't want to be caught up in the 'We" part.

So you said that he wasn't realistic then said that, as fans, "we really don't know who is "Realistic" or "Not Realistic""?

That's the only post that makes no sense to me. It seems contradictory to other things your saying. I think that's the post we've been discussing, and outside of that, we agree.

You guys just don't read well. I think it has something to do with Millennial's and the way written word is taught these days.

HoopsJock is a millennial?

Damn, I thought he was 40-something!

Maybe you just weren't clear, that's fine. But I can read just fine, and I've been nothing but polite with you, so there's no need to insult my reading ability.

Was not meant as an insult. Just go read the thread and all those questions are there. There is no lost meaning in any part of the conversation. No hidden jabs. No slight of hand. Take the words for what they are worth and read it.

And I keep coming back to "As fans, we don't know who's "realistic" and "not realistic"", and the argument of "yeah, we do know, based off our salary situation and his contract/team situation" which you agree with.

And i already explained my stance on that. So try reading a little better.

I guess my point is we really don't know who is "Realistic" or "Not Realistic". I am a fan. We watch games and try to be entertained.
Okay, so I changed the We are fans to I am a fan. That still doesn't explain the first sentence that "we really don't know who is "Realistic" or "Not Realistic""

You keep questioning our reading skills but this is the exact quote we've been discussing and you keep saying we aren't reading it right.

I guess his point might be "I don't know who's "realistic" or "not realistic" because I am a fan"... And then we went on some rant saying that me and you aren't included in that because we think we're "more than that"...

That's my guess as to what he's saying, which makes even less sense than his initial comment, and sounds like a dig at us for no reason... I don't know, I'm done with this...:biglaugh:

I guess my point is "I" really don't know who is "Realistic" or "Not Realistic". I am a fan. "I" watch games and try to be entertained.

There does that help?

We were writing that at the same time. Brother!

I actually already said that in a post about 20 or 30 fucking posts ago. That is why i keep saying read it!
 
Yet you explained why he was an unrealistic option, but I digress.
That is why i said like a thousand times now " I AGREED WITH YOU!"

You guys just don't have anything better to do than try to find someone to argue with? C'mon man.

I AGREED WITH YOU!
 
Maybe you should be clearer instead of ranting about corporate espionage, the Moda Center, community playgrounds, etc.
The corporate espionage is because hoops was all I'm a Detroit Pistons insider. Well but again you didn't really read it and missed the entire point.

I've already said that, I'm just trying to point out how you came off as contradictory. If you don't see it, fine.. but you really weren't clear about anything and then when I tried to understand what you were trying to say, you said it was because I don't read well (probably because I'm a millennial). Literally been trying to understand you this whole time and point out where you were confusing, but that's all I can do. This will be my last post on this.

Yeah. It's time.
 
@kjironman1 You just ranted how we think we're better than everyone else but now changing a few words in your post is supposed to excuse that? That's ridiculous.

I specifically took the time to prove my stance that it is indeed unrealistic and you came back that those were assumptions. You're explanation as to why you thought that way was off base and I explained why. Then you tried saying that you never disagreed with me to begin with.

After all that you then try to act like you are enlightened to the true NBA since you work for Kenny Carr and that we will likely never to be able to convince you we're more than just fans. Not that I care but I did logically prove my stance, just like I did with Blake Griffin 2 years ago.
