My email response to the writer: Actually, that's a pretty lame peice of writing. Not only in style, but in substance as well. Ever thought of changing careers before it's too late? Best of luck! BLAZER PROPHET
Please tell me that author didn't get paid to write that piece of shit. BLAZER PROPHET FTW in the comments, though. "The Oregon Commentator" indeed. -Pop
decent post. The difference is that most people can't trade for a Danny Granger or Jose Calderon without giving up a ton in return. Personally, I'd rather have 2 years of old-and-slow Jason Kidd than Steve Blake, but that's just me. If the option is to get Chris Paul, sure---I'll totally give up my dreams of Kidd and Nash. But if it's between sticking with Outlaw and Blake as our "veteran core", or going after someone like Vince Carter, RJ, Butler, gerald Wallace---the whole point is to make the team better.
So? I consider it "honest". Now, if I wanted to be rude I could have called his heritage in many unseemly ways. But I wouldn't do that. It'd be rude. OK, OK, maybe it was a bit rude.
The guy who wrote this "article" seems no more informed, and probably less well informed, than the average poster on this board. He's entitled to his opinion, but it's clearly based on nothing more than the random firings of neuron's within his own brain. Come to think of it, he probably does post here.
