    That may be your opinion, but that doesn't make it a "bullshit retort". Maybe yours is a "bullshit retort" :bgrin:

    That was the O-Live version of "The Bet". A while back a bet was made here and the problems from it are well documented. On O-live i once made a bet with BendBlazer. Loser was supposed to pay $100 to Doernbecher Children's Hospital. Of course i won the bet and he never paid up. But it never went much further except i will call him on it every time i see a post of his. I should probably just let it go. As you can tell i haven't just yet.

    You are thinking too highly of yourself if you believe that.

    Actually I am looking forward to more entertaining posts. I shared the aforementioned post with my girlfriend and we had a 'laughing your ass off' moment.

    Honestly, I don't think bad of anyone here. I read for entertainment purposes and leave it at that. You are right it is a hot one. Be safe, partner.

    such a hypocrite. Your personal attacks started in your response to my first post which wasn't even addressed to you.

    And you seem to struggle with basic reading comprehension, among other things, but have no problem assigning views that in no way were expressed. You made a complete fool of your self in this thread. Congrats. Anointing yourself champion is a hilarious cherry on top.

    I read and comprehend just fine. You simply don't articulate your point very well as you have often demonstrated.

    what? You said you were done responding??? So surprising someone so unbelievably petty is responding minutes after my post. Shouldn't you be taking another victory lap?

    Giannis is the 23 year old league MVP genius. Olshey passed on him. This thread is about Neil's performance as a GM. So sorry that the fastball analogy about the value of a GM recognizing off the charts god given talent didn't work for you, but thats back to the reading comprehension issue. Guessing you were a big John Nash guy too.

    I always get a kick out of the hindsight projections. Looks to me like a guy bored and trying to make an issue out of something that is well in the past while the Blazers have been a pretty good team going forward. What's crazy is Verajo only counts for 1.9 mil and expires after the following season. If one keeps looking in the rear view mirror, he eventually ends up rear ending someone.

    Agree with you here. It's less than 1.8% of the cap. Sure, it would be nice to have it off the books but it isn't "punishing" the team.

    If Skal develops that is who the pick became after trading Swanigan.
