There's plenty of discussion that can happen off of whether Lillard had a meeting with Allen or not. Did he? Did he not? We have no way of knowing. Sounds like two people who post here, who have both provided info in the past, has said yes. What he said if there was one, and whether there was one, is all up for speculation. We're in the offseason of our team, all we have is opinions and speculation. And yet what started off as a legitimate thread to discuss possibilities (yes, a lot of stuff bleeds over from trade and draft threads, but whatever) turns into a back and forth of just bitching and bickering and people saying you can't speculate on opinions and yadda yadda. Fuck man. It's the offseason. I want fun speculative threads, and I find myself posting here less and less because it goes from 3 pages of discussion to fucking garbage.
We have let players go recently for no return, seemingly to save money and stay under the tax threshold. If I were Lillard I'd be interested in Paul's vision moving forward as well. And I wouldn't think twice about asking for a meeting either.
You realize that staying under the tax threshold has a factor on roster flexibility, and the ability to make the team better...? Its not about saving money for the sake of Paul Allens pocketbook...
I wouldn’t be surprised if Dame and PA met again, or will meet this summer. Dame wants to win. I also wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t. Canzano is a pretty much all that is wrong with “journalism” wrapped up into one person and as I have no idea if Dame and PA met, I’d speculate though that if they met Dame isn’t there for any other reason other than to tell PA how he thinks the Blazers can get better
Yes it was as it's a simple as fighting fire with fire. He continues to come at me no matter what I post and I have ignored the majority of his crap lately but he continues to butt his way in and make his snarky little remarks at me and that post was a simple call out of just one of his many digs he likes to put in. He likes to play the victim where in reality he is often the instigator. If he doesn't want douchey responses then he needs to stop his douchey attacks. Pretty simple in my book. What's pretty sad is the guy is in his early 20's and has over 20,000 posts in 3 years.
Why do you have to "fight fire with fire" instead of acting like a damn grown up? And he didn't butt his way into this thread, you started giving him shit for posting an opinion.
In fairness to Cup, I thought he made it pretty clear we weren't supposed to post opinions. Just facts. If Sly was a better mod, Bones would be suspended already
So to be serious but as respectful as possible, NO. I had a friend that showed up and had to go. Now. im going to break your post down for you. First, you are putting opinions and rumors in the same box, when they are completely different. you do know this right? An opinion is someone giving their viewpoint on a topic or scenario. A Rumor is someone else taking that and spreading the word as possible truth. Two VERY different things. You are advocating that no one should offer their opinion for fear that someone else turns it into a rumor???? Sorry, I don't live my life in fear like that. So everyone who gives an opinion on here that is only based on their own thoughts and hypothesis, that opinion is worthless. You just told 99% of the posters here that 99% of their posts are worthless. So with that 99% being worthless to you around here, you are here for the 1%? This is a forum discussion board. Opinions are a way of life. And they are not going to go away around here; both realistic or ridiculous. Dude, this is what gets me. I made it clear like MANY times, I was not refering to Canzano and had moved passed him. You tying my statement back to him just because it is in this thread is not a link to be made. Second, I never said I thought they had a convo and CJ said he wants out for his own team. Twist shit around much? For a guy who only wants to deal in facts, use the facts when you cite someone. I said I could see CJ saying he would be OPEN to that if he was told the team was looking at making moves, and I could see it possible that Dame and CJ have had such a conversation. So your bitching about rumor starting has now been broken down into just that. You started a rumor or are trying to start one that I said CJ wants out. I NEVER SAID THAT...STOP STARTING RUMORS..... I mean seriously, WTH. Do you now see what you just did???? LMAO.
Agree with this. Completely. Except as I read the post he was responding to, I kept saying, “have you looked in the mirror recently?” over and over.... so I was overlooking the douche post.
Actually, that's incorrect as go back and see where he butts in on a response that wasn't even to him. It also wasn't just this thread as he has been consistently doing it and not only just to me.
