Hypothetical counterfactual: LMA gets ranked 10th and Dame 15th in the NBA. The response to this article: "Looks good to me." "This is the best article I've read in a long time." "This guy is pretty sharp, he really seems to know his stuff." "I love RealGM."
I'm actually not as bothered by where the Blazers ended up as much as who made the top of the list. Exactly what have Harrison F. Barnes, Noel and Butler shown? And I like Davis, but #3?
I know you're trying to paint everyone else here as uber homer, and yourself as even-keeled realist or whatever, but those ranking, while probably a bit too high for both, would be a lot closer than what he threw out there. That said, it's some random dude's list, and he has Kosta Koufos at 39, Nerlens Noel at 28....meh, not going to give a shit about it.
Can we trade Alrdidge and Lillard for Iman Shumpert? What else would we have to throw in to entice the Knicks.
I just think the clockwork, knee-jerk "rage" overreaction is ridiculous around here. It's the SAME response to everything that doesn't sing the praises of the Blazers in the national media.
What "rage"? I don't see anyone overreacting out of anger. I just see people poking fun at this guy for being a dumb shit. As far as I can tell, no one here is taking this list seriously enough to muster any actual "rage". BNM
This. I spent a lot of time with the ESPN rankings because it's a summary of what over 200 people think as opposed to what 1 random person thinks, be it RealGM or any other site.
