    What are we arguing here? Who's at fault?

    Had we kept Johnathan Williams or any other center on the cheap (ie WCS, Noel, Bell, Quinn all signed vet mins) to supplement injury/starter concerns with Boogie/McGee then Howard wouldn't be a necessary evil.

    So I guess using up roughly 30m in cap and 4 roster spots on SG depth wasn't the best kawhtingency plan this summer. There, argument settled?

    Hey, how about that dynamic duo of Bron & AD? They stay healthy and get us to the playoffs and we're going to be title favorites I hear.

    I'm hoping this is a juvenile revenge plot from Mamba's people where we pull the offer minutes from signing:Kobe Snickering:amnesty this! signed Kobe

    I see what you did there. Hilarious, love me some 2nd grade mocking humor. At least I wasn’t derailing a thread with a really pointless argument not clearly defined in what it was even about, but rather typically, arguing just to argue. Hey let’s argue about Melo vs Dudley while we’re at it, 2 pretty irrelevant players, seems like a worthwhile hill to die on.

    what's really funny about the crusade is that missing out on kawhi itself damned the original thesis. but goalposts aren't stationary, i guess.

    Dudz must have been relevant enough tho for us to scoop him up with nearly no market in play for him. should have went to Johnathan Williams for sure seeing how AD would like to stay at the 4. Maybe he wasn't relevant enough...the NBA seems to think so. Butt you can die in that hill and Dwight's as well.

    As if your intial post wasn't mocking folks that were actually discussing a topic. More like 2nd grade flexing.

    Anyways...



    Don't really understand the goal to your posts...

    But what's funny is your infatuation with your crusade in involving goal posts in a basketball discussion.

    Hate the guy but I knew we were gonna sign him once his name started coming up as a possible replacement for Boogie. He was really the best option available I will begrudgingly support him until his usual antics arise. Noah, Speights or Faried wouldn't have come with as much baggage but Dwight is a better player than all of them if he's healthy and keeps his head on straight.

    Is it? There’s not a starting 5 in the East I wouldn’t take over them. But I’m on board with your optimism.

    Pretty sure you’re sharp enough to get my drift and pretty sure the non-response confirms its veracity.

    Dwight is far and away the best player of the bunch, but I just don't believe he's going to be a good soldier. He's going to have to prove it over time and make me into a believer because he's starting on my s*** list along with Kidd.

    Bron says otherwise....and I'm sure you're sharp enough to realize that attaching Moz or Deng's 3 year deals to assets to clear space isn't the same as trading Tobias's (cLips) & Crabbe's (BK) expiring deals for cap space to get their free agents this summer.

    Also no space for Bron in '18, we're probably not at the other end of AD's trade demand in '19.

    Two maxes was unnecessary. Doubling down and rolling over was fruitless.

    That is a nasty roster. Besides Rozier, I’m not sure who starts. WTH is Mitch doing? Ha.

    I'm skeptical that Dwight will tolerate being 2nd fiddle on the big man totem pole for very long.

    So you knew Bron was coming alone when everything about his previous "decisions" said otherwise?

    Sigh.. can he still rebound and get up and down the floor? Haven't watched him hardly at all in years. Feel nauseated even talking about him.

    It's infuriating a guy with his gross demeanor and lack of honor, pride and will was born with that raw athletiscm and size.
