Yeah, you are *not* a moron either! Take that!
OE, I am not trolling you. I am trying to show counterpoint to your view. I wasn't calling names (or even non-names) and was posting reasoning behind it. We just don't see eye-to-eye on the way the team is being run (or should be run) at this time. No big deal, and I am glad we have disagreements about it. Otherwise this place would be very boring.
And I know many of my posts are short, but I try and jump on here a few minutes at a time throughout the day between meetings.

Is cool, bro. Truly, no hard feelings. I got frustrated with one-line responses begging for long explanations, ya feel me? But it wasn't you as much the tone of the board. I don't even know if we feel that different about things, with the exception that I was totally okay moving Dragic. You've always been *not* a moron in my book

We signed Earl Barron to another 10-day deal. Yay. Now he can take more time from our young guys and inexplicably play over Wright.

Does anyone else get the sense there was more going on there? It seems so strange that he was playing over BW so much.

This season went downhill fast. It's only going to get uglier with our tough close out schedule. McDonough and company have their work cut out for them this offseason. Our future has dimmed as the season has worn on. To borrow a line from Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, "You're going the wrong direction!" and "How do they know what direction we're going?"
Exactly.

Len is the only horse worth backing, not even Dragic was worth backing. Not for what he'll command in the FA market.

It's one thing to trade Dragic because of the circumstances but another to trade the lakers lottery pick, Plumee, Ennis, Isaiah Thomas and Dragic for a player who isn't under contract next year and John Salmons.
Think about it. Nice work.

Careful there Robot. I think you may have your head up your ass, because you are acting like a moron.
He's acting like a guy engaging in misrepresentation, like yourself. Here, let me try:
"... but another to trade a future pick, a bench warmer, a guy half of us thought we shouldn't have drafted, a guy most of us think we shouldn't have signed and would have traded for nothing, and a guy who was about to leave us for nothing in free agency for a 23-year-old near-all-star locked into restricted free agency and three draft picks, one of which is totally unprotected."
Now you're talking about Bledsoe like an "asset," but of course, half of the board seems to think we shouldn't have signed him in the first place! This is what I don't understand. Nobody seems interested in taking a dispassionate look at these things.
Haha . This is all kind of funny. We are going to tear each other apart. This is with the MoBros wanted. Total Chaos. Part of their plan - take over the world later, destroy everything we care about first. I also forgot Marcus Thorton or whatever his name is. We got him too.
In all seriousness, those trades were absolutely terrible -- pretty much last offseason and those trades were absolutely terrible.

BW probably got tired of the guards being unable to hit the roll man and yelled Bledsoe and Knight. So coach had to step in and bench him to protect their feelings. They were going to try crafts day but they are on the road.

backing Len is like hoping for a healthy version of tyson chandler. for now, that's his ceiling.

A healthy Tyson Chandler? I'll take it! His career has been derailed by injuries. The guy was a stud in his prime (and healthy).

So he's the defensive anchor and emotional leader of a championship team? Got it, even more excited now.

I think that's his defensive ceiling. Offensively he could be much better than Chandler

Len is not as athletic as Chandler. I think Alex has a chance to resemble a Gasol, though.

I think a mix between Chandler defensively and Pau offensively. That's pretty high praise and I'm not saying he'll get there, but physically he moves like those players.
