    I see people on here posting......"This is great" "I'm so happy now!" How do you guys know if this is a good hire or not. I'm as excited now I was yesterday. Can't wait to see how soon until the negative threads about this guy begin.

    How soon before we see the threads bashing the threads bashing the team? You realize that threads just like this one are just as disruptive and negative as the ones you're talking about?

    Let's see: he's an actor from commercials and he's already pissed off Eric Gordon...

    If/when he does something I think is dumb, I'll call him out for it.

    If/when he does something good, he'll get praised for it.

    Why are you against either of those?

    Gordon can't understand why a GM would say that and then trade him for . . . . . . Chris Paul. Eric, you got traded for Chris Paul. Was the GM suppose to not try and make that happen?

    And if you're really as excited today as you were yesterday, then I don't know what to tell you. We got to unwrap a big Christmas present today, and it's one that a lot of people in here wanted. Pissing in the Cheerios is ok, I guess, but right now it's exciting that we have a guy who a) set up the CP3 trade, b) wants to be here and c) seems to have the trust of PA (what little he gives to GMs). That's a win on all three for me.

    I'm just trying to understand why someone who supposedly dislikes negativity on this forum, would make a negative thread on an otherwise positive day?

    Didn't they give great picks away 2 years in a row? The #1 pick!

    I'm not being negative! I'm wondering why you are all being so positive!

    Because the team did something good. People tend to be positive when the team does something good.

    I'm already bashing him... Dude looks like a date rapist. Plus, the whole Baron and unprotected first for Mo Williams deal... Sounds like a John Nash deal! And the whole wanting to be here thing? He went to LA, then came back to us last second. If you don't feel like you were leveraged in the deal, you're a fool.

    No sir, I don't like it.
