    The topic is whine, moan and complain… that was my WMC point.

    I really don’t know what your problem is with me. You’re the one continuously antagonising me. And at every turn I’ve been polite back, I even asked the mods not to give you a warning because it doesn’t bother me.

    We’ve got a difference in opinion over a player - I want us to let Westbrook expire and not take on bad long term salary or get rid of our draft picks. I’m even suggesting we use them on trading for a large wing that can be a running mate for AD. Because at the end of the day I don’t really care about Westbrook, I care about AD and putting a team around him that can compete after Lebron is gone.

    You think Rozier, Hayward and AD make the playoffs in the west? Who else is coming to join that core? And what trade assets do we have if we trade our picks to get rid of a huge expiring? You call me a troll, from my side I see it as long term thinking.

    Well if Westbrook is here on opening night, why don't you take a year off? Since you are soo upset about it. Lol..I'm still trying to figure out what makes you think your opinions are more valid than anyone else's. You have been around here for a long time? Whoope damn doo.

    i'll make two enemies:

    you're both wrong!

    lvbd is wrong that you're a russ stan.

    you're wrong that moving russ for long-term salary is detrimental.

    fight me (more)!

    I’ve got no problems with people having differing opinions abeer! You’re generally logical (even if you are wrong in this instance)…

    Russ was our best and most reliable player last year, and everyone wants to ship the guy out.

    do not understand

    Yep, I 100% wanted us to spend our mini mid on a properly sized defensive wing. We didn't. Got another 6-4 guard who can't D or shoot.

    I don’t understand THIS at all. FFS we seem to have done better on all 3 of our minimum signings. And how will it impact Reaves who is close to 6’6”, has the form and history to be a good shooter, defender, clutch performer and secondary if not primary playmaker??

    Yeah I don’t understand that signing. I like our vet minimum signings but don’t get the TPMLE.

    so far, only house fits the criteria (appropriate size, defense, some shooting, mini mle or lower).

    i just think that the pickings were slim at the mini mle.

    The NBA is a 1 year at a time league. Matter of fact, if you are James Harden, you are 6 months at a time player. Owners paying players 250 mil and knowing they have zero chance at winning it all is quite hilarious.

    Yeah. Basically all teams are 1-3 year experiments. It's why a weaker Warriors team was able to win this year. Despite having a ton of turnover as well, they had 4 dudes who had been there for a while, are stars, and are totally bought into a stable coach's game plan. It could work for us too with AD and Lebron, but we keep firing coaches and bringing in disruptive players.
