Dude, we are civil. This isn't fucking Candy Land. *edited* If someone says something absoultely fucking idiotic, they deserve to get flamed.
It's called being respectful of others. The dude posted an idea. If you disagree with it, explain WHY you disagree with it. Simply posting something like "WORST TRADE EVAR" isn't constructive, and adding things like "what a waste of time reading this" is pretty disrespectful towards the OP. I think this forum is becoming entirely too shock jock. This isn't the Jim Rome show.
Thanks man. I was expecting to get hated on for it. Since the future is unknown... Hypothetically, let's say Joel never gets back to full health. He's done. Webster never puts it together. Rudy doesn't quite become the next Manu (and still, here he will ALWAYS be Roy's back-up), and Bayless still becomes what we think he can. Then imagine that Brand gets back to form and puts up around 18/10 for 3 more years (it's not impossible). Lowry is already a better defender, rebounder and shooter than Bayless, and gets to the line almost as well. U guys watched the playoffs last year right? And he's only 23. We're essentially trading Roy's back-up and Bayless for the banger power forward that everyone keeps crying for and our PG of the future, while clearing the way for Batum and Outlaw (ya I'm an Outlaw fan). Or Brand could continue to be the worst contract in the league and Lowry could have a career ending injury while Bayless and Rudy go on to be perennial all-stars and Webster the DPOY... I just don't think it's as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
