    Hmm.

    I wonder what your previous moniker was.

    Except you weren't told that. You were told that there are dozens of wings who would help us more than Brogdon. Then you were told "IF" they are available we should trade for them. You were also told we have a lot of other assets that could be packaged.

    Nice straw man, though!

    Not sure I see the point of having multiple accounts and hiding behind new names when you post the exact same way as you used to.

    I suppose this is a workaround to get people to stop ignoring you but that can only last so long.

    Lol. I didn't call you anything. I said you used a straw man argument.

    Which you most certainly did, and I did not.

    That's not semantics. That's literally stating something happened when it actually and provably didn't.

    I don't engage in fairy tales.

    What is it you can cuss around here and imply people are shortsighted but then have an issue with me suggesting you will be in the meltown thread? Are you really that soft? Use the ignore button then.. geez. Everyone knows who I am.. but great job bringing up something completely irrelevant because you are incapable of providing a solid rebuttal to all the of the stuff I've sad about why I think its not the end of the world if we dont trade Malcom.

    Next you will probably run to Sly...

    If you are going to have a conversation and toss out negative connotation of others, you should expect the same back. Moving on now because you are making this all personal and there is no need for that.

    Handing out chill pills now. lol

    I think Brogdon is something a little bit rare, a combo guard who can be really effective at either position and can even guard bigger guys. Very versatile so I think there could be more clubs than that looking at him.

    Absolutely, but who will give us value? This is mid-season, so most teams are still thinking about this year when it comes to adding a Vet for the playoff run. That eliminates half the teams right off the bat.

    But I am sure I probably missed a couple. Who would you add to the list?
    Who has 20 million in ending contracts and is willing to give us one of their young prospects or a 1st round pick?

    I haven't said anything is a failure if anything. I suggested we should trade Brogdon for a position of greater need, and ideally someone younger.

    There are at least dozens of guys who could fit the bill.

    The bill being: as good or better than Brogdon and don't play point guard.

    Are they available? No clue.

    Is it worth my time to even consider who that might be? Am I at all interested in discussing the merits of such an exercise?

    No, and no.

    Not something I engage in very often. There are people who enjoy doing that and they are more than welcome to take it on.
