    I didn't write we made offers.

    :crazy:

    Wesley Matthews was not the first free agent we contacted which is interesting because apparently he was the one we really wanted.

    Odd strategy.

    So what if we get Wesley fucking Matthews to be honest.

    Again, you are completely missing the point.

    If you guys are fine with a young up and coming team entering one of if not it's most important summers without a GM than that's fine.

    I'm not.

    Esp when Lawrence Miller has been left in charge.

    Y'know, it's called the Mid-level Exception for a reason. You don't get stars for the MLE.

    You're aware it was an insult though.

    So on some level you do get it.

    That is where the supposed "PLAN B" comes into play according to the "Mike's", what plan B is I would be interested to know.

    "Here's a picture of me with a girl in a bar. I've colored it in photoshop as well."

    Nothing odd about that :grin:

    I've actually never done it. I like most people take pictures of things that are likely to never happen again. Important moments that can never be recap..... oh ok now I get it.

    :grin:

    No offense Ed O. You're probably a top guy in person. I just find your pictures a little bit strange. (please don't stop though)

    I'm not going to hold your hands through a paragraph of basketball reading.

    At the very, very least Matthews was the 3rd FA we had contact with.

    Farmar, Mason were both before him.

    To now say he was #1 all along is bullshit.

    Paragraph of basketball reading? From what, Ben's assumptions on our targets? Show me where it says we called them first please. Don't go with the cop out of I'm not going to do your work for you. That's bullshit.

    Well, here's a link saying we contacted a select group, with a mention of Yahoo Sports saying we were targeting Matthews. If you say Mason and Farmar were ahead of him in our desire, then we would have made offers to them first, since they were still available when we made our offer to Matthews. I don't expect you to see the logic in that, you seem to just be trolling, so again, use a straw when you jam your head in the sand.

    So you're just going to go off this guys assumptions then?



    Don't bother responding. You're a bit of an angry troll with about as much logic as a someone who doesn't even have any logic. Denial isn't a river kool aide drinker reading is fundamental.

    :rolleyes:

    While quite tall in person Golliver is definitely a bitter little bitch. His joy over Odens injuries a couple of years back was pathetic. I agree that Columbian is a far better source.
