Thank you for proving that he’s not over 30. Good job.

And thanks for proving you you don't even understand basic math. Good job.

30 years + 95 days > 30 years + 0 days.

Once you've had your 30th birthday, you've been alive for 30 years. Anything after that, by definition, is over 30.

Thanks for explaining that. From now on I’m going with “over 21” for my age.

If you're more than 21 years and 0 days, you're over 21.

Look at it this way, which is more 30.00 or 30.26?

Ryan Anderson is 30.26 years and that's more than 30.00. He is over 30 years old by 95 days.

I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m just extending your argument (by a wide margin).

I am entertained that we’re talking about if 30.26 is older than 30 lol.

He's not under 30, is he? Today's not his birthday, is it? Then, by definition he's over 30.

This all started when I correctly said Anderson is over 30. He is. I don't see how anyone can dispute that.

I’m not disputing it, I’m saying I find the fact it’s even being discussed entertains me...

I find it bizarre than someone would dispute such an easily verifiable fact. Just go to basketball-reference, select the player of interest and it tells you their current age right down to the day.

Because he has no other argument other than technicalities of age.

Until he’s 31 he’s 30 btw. And he’ll be 30 all next season.

 

[hoopsjock]

This is some JET stuff right here. I hope this doesn't turn into a 3 year argument like JET made over how many games over .500 a team is.

So, by your standards someone that is 30 years 364 days is no older than someone who is 30 years and 1 day.

If you asked Ryan Anderson how old he is, what do you think he'd say? My guess is "30". Most people just reference the whole number amount of years they've been alive. So I understand where @Scalma is coming from.

You know, this is one of those situations where both people are right. You are right "technically", but practically speaking, Ryan Anderson isn't "over 30"... he's just 30.

Isn't the off-season wonderful?

When someone asks you your age do you include days?

Hes 30. He’s not under 30. He’s not over 30. He’s fucking 30. Gonna go have another drink now good bye.

No, but if I was 21 and 1 day and someone asked me if I was over 21, I'd say yes.

My initial comment was factually accurate.

Enjoy your Shirley Temple.

I see you like them with a pinch of salt. I know that because I'm over 22.

Literally just depends on of you're rounding down or not.

Y'all are arguing two seperate, legitimate things.

Since I spend all day in front of text editors all it makes me think of is, int vs float. I’m enjoying it though.

Speaking of Turner, I don't think it's his ability that makes him difficult to move. I don't think it's his contract that makes him difficult to move. I think it's his fit. He doesn't fit with what most teams want to do. Including the Blazers. Decent player; wrong era.

You don't think it's his ability?

His ability is the reason why he doesn't fit. He's an inefficient 6'7 guard who can't really beat people off the dribble and can't space the floor or play without the ball. But when he has the ball, bad things happen. He doesn't fit anywhere, because he's not good.

He could beat people off the dribble if he could shoot. No one respects his shot so they’re willing to give him any jumper he wants.

Russ cam still beat people. A lot of non-standard can still continuously get deep on drives.

Russ is also one of the most explosice Athletes in the entire NBA... ET isn’t, he needs to have a jump shot and craftyness.

Russ has a nice mid range pull up tho. It's wet.

Nuance. I'm saying the same thing you are. That his skill set doesn't fit with what teams want to do. His contract is less of a hindrance to trading him than fit. His game would not have looked so bad back in the days of shooting guards backing their guy in on the block and shooting a turnaround, and almost no one shooting a decent percentage from the three point line. Mike Dunleavy would have loved him for his defense, his ball handling, and his mediocre ISO game. But even if his contract were cut in half, he doesn't fit what the Blazers should be trying to do on offense. Or just about any other team really.

Trust me. I'd love it if we could trade him. I was just saying, I don't think anyone would want him. The only possibility I see is in a Butler trade. Or maybe that's a hope and a prayer.

Stotts has talked about a bigger role for Turner, but with all the new guys who can actually shoot, I'd prefer to see less of Turner rather than more. Yeah, benching him reduces his trade value, but it's not like he's tradeable anyway. No sense doubling down on a bad decision by continuing to try to fit a square peg into a round hole.

Completely agree, even though it seems unlikely. This is why I'm in favor of simply trading him for one of the other bad contracts of 2016.
