    Sorry but you are wrong. Sorry...

    Blue9 has been on record, even stating he is an hater, regarding Aldridge. He's also been on record that he would even be content with trading Aldridge for a young and picks just so Aldridge is gone.

    Again, if you require quotes I have plenty to show.

    Well, that would be a quote I'd have to see to believe, because that just seems silly. I mean, even if one believes him to be incapable of changing his game, how could one honestly believe that the team would be better off overall without him?

    If it's important enough to you to dig up the quotes, I'm willing to read them and admit to being wrong.

    I feel really sorry for folks who cannot for one reason or another find a lot of joy in this season. It's one of the best ever!

    Ha! I am pretty old school but I don't see Blue in that light in his lack of Lamarcus appreciation.
    Maybe another label is due.

    You mean, other than "hater"? If so, I agree. I think "critic" is much more fitting.

    Lamarcus has impressed me defensively all season. He's a lot harder to move now than he used to be. He is always adding something to his game

    No I meant old school, like Brain referenced. I dislike the word hater but if it were to be used, I guess it might apply to Blue on Lamarcus.

    February is a great month to recover from an injury. Only 9 games and 6 of them are at home. Dame and Leonard can hold down the fort while our other bigs are out.

    Wanting a replacement is not the same as wanting someone gone. But you are BGD are different sides of the same coin so I shouldn't be surprised that you don't understand the difference.

    There was a point in time where this was true - but it wasn't simply "a young and picks", it was very high lotto picks and specific young players. And this was a couple seasons ago (maybe last season?) - not this season. As things change, so do my opinions. I can't recall specifics, but I seem to recall being okay with Monroe/Singler/Lotto, and maybe Thompson/#1 pick.
    Stop speaking for me and worry about your own thoughts and opinions.
    For the record, you seem like a nice, fun guy with whom I would probably enjoy having a beer and watching the game. But as an internet poster I can't stand you.

    That he hasn't even had an MRI yet is, to me, a real indication that it's serious. When I tore my ACL, the Dr. wouldn't MRI it for a week because they wanted to let the swelling go down.

    That factoid did not make me feel better.

    Let's just get healthy for the playoffs.
