    if he was, why go after Okafor? He's the opposite of an inside defender.

    I think Scalma was exactly correct, the primary motivation in the Plumlee/Nurkic trade was financial.

    Did we trade for Okafor? Do you believe every rumor out there? Interest means possibly just an inquiry. You are free to think what you want as nobody is disputing that there was some financial benefits, but there was also roster benefits as Olshey clearly said in your article you quoted. very obvious that some of you refuse to give Olshey credit for anything and that is why it's hard to have much respect for your opinions when they are clearly biased in nature. Might be why you quoted the part you did and ignored the part that I quoted.

    Since Olshey has no power to do anything and no responsibility when things go wrong - why is he making the big bucks?

    let's review this, it won't be hard:

    the quote of Olshey I used went directly to what you and Scalma were 'disputing'. It was specific and since neither one of you mentioned any possible ancillary motivations, I didn't either. So, go pound sand with your forehead for saying I was cherry-picking what Olshey said

    besides all that, I'm pretty skeptical about those offered ancillary reasons. Why would Olshey want to get a younger C rather then just getting a better C? Plumlee is the same age as Dame. And if Denver hadn't added the 1st round pick and the Okafor trade would have went thru, I have no doubt Olshey would have tailored his ancillary reasons for Okafor..."look, we had an opportunity to get a player who was a 3rd pick in a recent draft and who shown some amazing offensive potential, and skillsets that match Terry's offense as well as Dame's"

    Yawn! You go right ahead and review to your heaarts content.Scalma said it was only for financial reasons and the quote by Olshey showed that not be true. We will just have to agree to disagree.

    OK, then NO is great because he, too, made "basketball moves" - apparently, that's all that matters....

    Anyone still believe enough in Porzingis to take on Tim Jr?

    Well, no, he didn't. He simply said, "it was financially motivated". You're the one who added the "just" and "only" qualifiers. This would be the very definition of a strawman argument.

    And in his link it clearly said Olshey was targetting a young defensive center. Wouldn't scalma and heimer's be a strawman argument then? They both conveniently left out the quote i linked to as it didn't fit their argument. I at least in a prior post acknowledged the financial benefits as well.

    Reports say Philly is considering Fultz for Dedmon.

    now, you're just grasping at straws, to sick with the metaphor

    I've already explained the reason for the quote I posted and it was based upon the specific discussion here, not the made-up bullshit you tried to twist out of what was actually said

    yeah, I think you're on the right track because there's just no upside in discussing anything with him

    If you know what a strawman argument is, you would know that that is not the case. If you'd like me to define it for you, I'm willing.

    No thanks as mine was never a strawman argument anyway thus my comment as it wasn't meant to be taken seriously.
