Vet min guards aRe dime a dozen. Vet min bigs are not. Dsj came from the gleague. Mac is a third stringer on most teams.
We can pick up all the vet min guards we want and i didn't think it will help us at all, however vet min bigs are harder to come by and are needed more because bigs break down more.
So i do think its relevant which types of ver mins we can get. To me its very relevant regardless of others insulting opinions.

dude i clarified it in the next post. You ignored it. I then asked you about it and you went off with your strawman bullshit. We were having a fine conversation until you jumped the gun and went off on a tangent about me, making it all personal.

You could have also asked me to clarify like i asked you to, instead of just insulting me, but hey…

ill take the blame for this too. It was all me. Im a strawman troll and i was only looking to piss you off. Not actually have an up and up conversation…………

with lebron playing 2/3rds of the season? Contender at best maybe but we still have to sign nurk and ant.
Plus LA is a FA dream destination so LA was and is able to pick up lots of vet mins to fill out the bench. I have no faith in Portland doing the same. Melo aint coming back. Dhoward isn't coming here, etc.

If we made the finals? Id be fine with it. But with the lack of a bench due to fa destination issues and lbj wearing down, i find making the finals a pretty tall order without a third all star. Lbj five years ago? Id be sold.

@Orion Bailey

I know you won't let this go, and will continue your bullshit so here it is. I'll put it in large font so you don't misunderstand and go down your rabbit holes yet again.

You literally posted this:

" LA was and is able to pick up lots of vet mins to fill out the bench"

You also posted this AFTERWARDS.

"melo and dhoward types."

These are YOUR posts.


Ben McLemore and DSJ are equivalent players to washed up Dwight/Melo. That they are guards is irrelevant.

Why suddenly you are bringing up their positions when you mentioned ONLY VET MINS is something you came up with in your subsequent post, not your ORIGINAL ONE that I responded to.

This is exhausting, man.

sorry @PtldPlatypus but im going to correct a wrong when im in the middle of it and being insulted over it…

@illmatic99 , lol , no dude. You are wrong. Read above. I mentioned melo and howard before you mentioned dsj/mac

it aint no bIg deal but you could have reread the posts first prior to making it all personal.
 
Isn't Bronny like a junior in high school?

So we want to wait anywhere from 2 years to 5 years for Bronny to her Lebron?

No way. If Lebron wants to come here next year. Make it happen but don't move Little, Ant, Dame or Nurk.
 
Don't want him. He's on the way out. Doesn't have another championship in him.

As the #1 guy on the team, maybe not. But his passing combined with the passing of dame, nurk and ant would be incredible. He wouldn't be asked to be a closer, getting 38 minutes a night.

Narrative is nice, but I really don't think the Cavs will want him. I was listening to the Woj pod with their GM yesterday and he spoke almost in manner of relief that he no longer has to make decisions to placate Lebron.

This. I don’t think Cleveland wants him. They’ve moved on.

I would trade one draft pick to take Bronny James and get LeBron on the cheap.

That is the only way it would work.

You mortgage the future to sign an aging star, then have nothing left to surround him but sludge. What then? You don't win a title that way.

Hart, Bledsoe, small salary filler and 2 picks from this year.
Dame/ant/little/lebron/nurk
Winslow, Watford and ring chasers on the bench.

Hahaha. Lakers wouldn’t do it for less than a re-signed Simons.
 
It's not the money the Bulls and Bullets paid Jordan that got him his own franchise. It's his Nike deal. If Lebron wants to ride off into the sunset with as much money as possible it will be Nike that will get it for him.

Force his way to Portland while keeping Lillard here will give Lebron his greatest and last chance to work with Nike to set up a brand that will outlive his playing days.

This. I don't want him in part because everywhere he goes it's HIS team. I don't like the chemistry on 'his' teams. The Blazers play at the intersection of Billups Blvd and Lillard Lane. I'm happy with Lebron staying in his.

It would give the Blazers the best shot since 2000 to win a championship though!
 
You are either in or out. Do you want to keep Dame? Do you want to try to win with Dame? If Lebron becomes available you go for it. Especially if you don't have to give up Dame, Ant, Nurk etc.

If a superstar comes available and wants to play with Dame, you go for it if you plan on Dame staying.

If you want to move Dame for assets. Keep our picks and start over with Ant, Little, Hart, picks. Great.

Holding Dame hostage when a bona fide superstar wants to play with him would be absolutely ludicrous.

i know. Just tried of the double standards from people i have mad respect for around here. Its a gut shot to get slammed by someone who you like posting so much.

Seems like you went looking for the argument/confrontation, calling them out for not responding to your clarification, as if a response was all that needed. And then were upset when you seemingly got what you were looking for.
Is this where I ask about your 27/7/7 comment being wrong and you not owning that you had his stats wrong, and how dare the double standards?

im not even sure what you are talking about?

im not rehashing the events. They are there for everyone to read the timeline.
Regarding lbjs stats? I dont know what you are talking about? I thought you made a joke that he deteriorated to whatever statsyou posted and i corrected it as a complete joke.
I never claimed to even know what lbjs stats are currently. I just thought you were poking a joke and i added on making a stat up showing he deteriorated half a point less than what you posted, man.
Everyone being way to serious, but claiming im the issue here….
got it.
i apologize R7, for causing such an issue, looking for clarification of a post asking what im talking about, making things personal and all that.
Im just an evil troll of a poster and i wanted nothing to do with an up and up convo trying to clarify what he meant( as i have mad respect for his posts about basketball)
And felt shunned when he didnt respond and then asked for a response. How evil of me….
How immature of me. How bad of a person i am for that.
You got me.
Im so sorry…….

edit: also my calling him out was asking for a follow up since he quoted me from a post after the one in question.
I thought he missed it and didn't know it so i jokingly(lol????) called him on it, wven though i felt shunned. I thought the response would be to clarify or explain what his confusion was. Not to make it personal.

really. Yall went way serious when i thought we were all having fun Nd joking aBout lbjs deterioration or lack off. Then i got outed as some strawman?

sssssstttiiill smfh…. Just cant win around here….

No need for the unnecessary hyperbole.

As for wanting clarification, I dunno, donesn't seem like there was a huge need for clarification on it. So not responding didn't seem like that big of a deal.
But asking like you did:
come on now? What about that ver min confusion?
Gonna just let that go unresponded? Lol.

comes across as wanting to continue on with an argument that was going nowhere. And for seemingly no good reason.
