    Has he taken over the mantle from BGD for 'Most ridiculous trade threads?'

    At least BGD had an excuse, he is a robot, programmed to follow the commands of Denny.

    What's this guy's excuse?

    Indeed.

    Overall I think it was not that bad of a trade for Chicago. They needed a reboot. By taking on Dunn and injured LaVine they basically ensured top 3 pick in 2018 draft too.

    Just stop. You're not a fan of the team, you pretty much admitted it in your post. "enjoy your team".

    It was a valiant effort on your part, I will grant you that.

    lol. I love the victim card.

    Its not that people think your trade idea is stupid (though it kind of is), its your reputation.

    But, its our fault. We keep hoping people here start knowing a damn thing about reputation but its a war already lost.

    Not our fault youre not willing to understand basic human cognition.

    Learn.

    That's a personal choice though. You can pre-judge posts/threads based on the poster, or you can simply evaluate them based on their merit. Personally, I prefer the latter. When the broken clock is right, the clock being broken doesn't change what time it actually is...

    Yeah, I was just about to post, "Even the sun shines on a dog's ass once in awhile," but same difference.

    Yeah, I wasn't actually trying to say that Vonleh could score as many points as Gordon if given the opportunity. But getting him 3-4 more shots per game (setting him up for dunks & open jumpers) might help a bit with perceived scoring balance. If he were averaging 8.5ppg instead of 5.5ppg then I think people would be less concerned about the PF position. Bump it up to 10ppg and he's gold!

    But it doesn't mean the clock is telling time.

    And similarly, responding to Portland2014's thread based solely on its content doesn't mean that he isn't a troll the rest of the time.

    But a valid discussion is valid regardless of who started it.

    Motive for asking the question doesn't--in my opinion--change the validity of the question being asked.

    How so? It would change the response based on motive or percieved motive. Thats just society. Btw, im not attacking, just asking for clarification.

    I disagree with your base assumption. When people ask me questions--that aren't simply rhetorical or sarcastic--I answer them at face value. If I'm unclear as to what the person really wants to know, I clarify to ensure that I'm answering what was intended. My assumptions about their motives don't color my responses.

    Fair enough. I get that. I think were just miscommunicating. All good. Were on the same page.
