Can someone please compile all the post draft analysis by BonesJones on how bad Gary Trent Jr. is gonna be because his wingspan is an inch too short lol
I never said he wasn't talented. I had an issue with it because of defense and because he had a CJ McCollum-esque standing reach. I don't like him in a box at SG, since we have so many, and we need someone who can play SF. Sinve his standing reach is a lie, I actually think it's a good move. He's gonna need time to prove he's a good defender.

I think it's cute that you're defending Olshey though.
 
Yeah, I don't like the pick. Do I root for him? Yes. So how could I hate him? That's ridiculous.

How has he shown "massive improvement over his entire career"? He's played one season, and barely played. I don't see the "massive improvement you claim".

"Hater/Hatin" is overused bro. So many kids use that word in such a silly context. I don't "hate" the guy because I think hes a below-average average 3pt shooter.

Sigh... Hate ON him....

And don't tell me how to interpret slang we created that I've explained 1000 times on this forum.

And basketball careers don't start in the NBA. They start in middle school.
 
My impression in your case Bones is you don't hate the kid...you just thrive on any Olshey failure that you've questioned...sort of like you anticipate a reason to say..."I told you so...Olshey is an idiot!" What you don't get to cash in on is telling forum members to get out of here over a disagreement about it. It was an interesting start to summer league....I enjoyed it.
I like the Simons pick, I like the Collins pick... Why isn't that taken into consideration? You're literally only taking half of my views into account to try to portray me as negative. I've been defending Olshey for a big portion of this summer.

Your policing me saying "get outta here" too? My goodness dude.

I'm not hating on him if I have an honest opinion on his game... I'm tired of that type of portrayal.

I've met Dviss 4 or 5 times bro. I'd say get outta here with that millennial argument to his face and it wouldn't be some big ass thing like your making it for no reason. You don't need to police everybody. You literally will call me out for the littlest crap, just because I think Swanigan is a below-average 3pt shooter, and because I say "get outta here"... Its ridiculous.

I'm not replying to you about this anymore.

You've said nothing but negative things about Caleb.

It's literally 90%+ negativity about Caleb and his prospects as an NBA player.

Hating = saying nothing but negativity.

Now have fun searching your posts for a positive statement about Caleb.

I would be a lot less hard on him if he had been a second rounder and not a first rounder.

You would but you'd be wrong. I know the context in which I'm using the word. I ALSO am one of the biggest proponents of using the term "hating" in its proper context.

I stand by my context. Now please, off on that errand of finding one of those rare positive Caleb posts...
 
Lmao. He was making me mad with his dumb shot selection cuz he knows better. You're the one overreacting by ranting about that.

I was overreacting? I was ranting. That's hilarious, but wrong. Relax kid. It was one summer league game, and I bet Collins couldn't care less what makes you mad as that list is apparently pretty long.

How about 6 that I found in one minute?
Yeah, he was the best defensive player against these "real men", and his offensive wasn't impressive because it translates to the NBA only if he has decent guards. He's not like Swanigan who will go get his own. He's the type of guy who will do well for himself and for the team by playing off of great guards.

Lmfao.

What were you expecting out of this off-season? Collins and Swanigan could both be great and thks would be viewed as a great off-season. There's no basis to the argument that this off-season is a failure and youre only saying do because you're freaking out about this Melo thing. Relax.

Caleb don't take shit from nobody. I love it.

Caleb and Nurk. It's crazy how much better our big man situation has turned into in the past year. We turned Plumlee and cap space into Nurkic, Swanigan, and Collins.

Ayyyy Caleb!!!

Since when? It was said after the draft that Swanigan was probably more NBA ready.
You're acting disingenuous by saying all I do is hate on him and say negative things about him. I'm honest because I don't let people getting on't their feelings about me saying I think he's a 32% 3pt shooter affect me. Cmon dude.

Tomorrow I could say "Good post move by Caleb" and I'll get people saying "I thought you said he was trash".

You don't know what the term means if you think it means you literally hate them.

I've explained this before.

Those are game thread posts. Low hanging fruit. Not your player evaluation posts where your negativity is overboard.

I understand the context, but I don't like it because many kids use it as a copout to avoid any logical discussion, or as an excuse.

A friend of mine was being really rude to a Panda Express worker, and I said simething to him about it. He continuously replied with "you're just hatin".

I know you know what I'm talking about with this.

Many of those weren't game thread posts here. What point are you trying to prove here? That I need to think Swanigan is a good NBA player? That I can't honestly criticize his game even if it's just that I think his shooting is below-average in relativity to other NBA players?

I know he couldn't, but as someone who's watched him in college, it's frustrating when he makes dumb decisions because he's a smart player and he knows better.

I think you're taking the "pissed off" part out of context. It was more of a "what the he'll are you doing..." type of thing. What s wrong with that?
 
I never said he wasn't talented. I had an issue with it because of defense and because he had a CJ McCollum-esque standing reach. I don't like him in a box at SG, since we have so many, and we need someone who can play SF. Sinve his standing reach is a lie, I actually think it's a good move. He's gonna need time to prove he's a good defender.

I think it's cute that you're defending Olshey though.
I have been one of the few in here that has absolutely loved all of Olshey’s draft picks... as I have stated before, my hate for Neil is solely based on his refusal to entertain trading CJ, as I see the McLillard combo the biggest problem holding Lillard and this team from progressing... I’ve always defended Neil for his talent evaluation... it’s his stubbornness in fitting the right pieces together that rub me the wrong way
 
"Collins is pissing me off"
"Caleb Swanigan is a 32% 3pt shooter in my opinion"
And a random person randomly calling me out on an opinion of Trent.

And that's what caused all this. Goddamn you guys gotta chill.

I came around on Trent because one of the biggest issues with me was his standing reach not allowing him to play SF, which I think is incorrect. So I actually like the pick now, so why are you randomly calling me out over him? I dont get it.
