    That's funny because that is exactly the way I feel about your posts. The exception is I can admit when I post to spin people up, you just hide in denial and claim the mods are picking on you.

    Where have I said that he must be traded since the season ended? Seriously, point me to it. I'll wait patiently. You can keep talking about pant shitting, but the only person who has been pant shitting is you since the whole Cavs/#1 thing happened.

    Please, you need to stop the pant-shitting stuff and calm down when people have a different opinion than you do.

    Also, I can almost guarantee you that Neil Olshey, with 2 more years on his contract, and Paul Allen, who has already beat cancer once, don't give a shit about cap implications 6 years from now. They'd be fools if they weren't trying to win a title next year. If LMA can be traded to get closer to a title in the opinion of Olshey/Allen, then I imagine a deal will be made. If it can't, I think they'll pay LMA whatever he wants, and worry about the next season, instead of the year 2020.

    I didn't realize that calling out what I think are stupid and panicked ideas wasn't allowed here.

    Sorry. I'll temper my ridicule.

    If Aldridge can't stick to a reasonable contract then I say shame on him

    If he signs the rumored $127m deal that tells me winning isn't his #1 priority

    I heard on the news there is a sophomore is high school who is already 7ft. So in 2 years he'll be 18.. then he'll go to Kentucky, then be one and done. Need the first overall draft pick for the...... what.... 2018 draft class? Trade Aldridge for that please.

    If you're calling out stupid and panicked ideas, why are you attacking me? Where was my stupid and panicked idea?

    Of course you do. It's your shtick. You missed some decent game threads in the Houston series. Where were you?

    why? you're not attacking him as a person with personal insults.
    Only talking about his posts which is just enough grey area to skate the personal insult rule.

    That's how these forums work.

    I posted this today. I think you're right. It screams stupid and panicked.

    see! the other mod agrees. neither of you are attacking each other personally... only the posts made by the other.

    I'd like to focus again on this.

    The next opt-out for the CBA is in 2017. Both the 2005 CBA and the 2011 CBA extension had amnesty provisions for players signed prior to the CBA renegotiation.

    I was a bit harsh when I stated it earlier, but I don't think there is any GM right now who give a crap about what the salary cap implications are past 2017. The smart thing, actually, is to sign the best players right now to the highest contract, and then know either the owners or players can opt out of the CBA in 2017.

    Attacking a poster because you don't agree with my logical posts

    Are you okay?
