    I agree, I just was stating why there is Curry criticism despite him shooting the 3 well.

    I like this. I just don't want to give HOU exactly what they're looking for.

    If we are trading Aminu and Leonard we need another big. I don't think Melo is a bad fit with Collins up front and can get some buckets when the 2nd unit is playing like crap. Melo's defense isn't as bad when playing the 4 as it is at the 3. I wouldn't give up anything for Melo but he's just a throw in. Worst case he can be cut.

    So playing Houston with Aminu scares you?

    Send him and a 2nd or two for someone like Holmes. Phoenix can cut him.

    I do like Holmes but we are already getting Mahinmi so I'd prefer more of a scoring PF. I also don't want to give up any picks.

    That's weird to type out huh? LOL

    I think if we get Porter and all we give up is Aminu, Turner, and Leonard then I don't really care what happens with the other teams involved.

    Sure, it would be nice if he improved in areas he isn't [nearly] as good at, but I would guess he was brought in almost entirely for his floor spacing capabilities.

    It's often been said, to be a good bench player you need to excel in one area. Starters are the ones you expect to be more well-rounded.

    Why ask someone about what racism is about when they don't have much experience dealing with it?

    The person dealing with it everyday would have way more examples of dealing with it than the one who's more than likely never had detriment in their life due to complexion.

    It's a great analogy. Sucks that it needs to be explained...

    Non answer....

    If you aren't actively doing your part to curb the racists and you are standing by idly while your fellow American citizens are being treated as 2nd class, then you're part of the problem, not the solution. Defending Cuban in this instance is an example of just that. Again, racism must be stamped out. Play your part in creating an all inclusive country...

    I understand completely, I frankly don't care.

    People pick up their toys and leave Cartman style when they're wrong.

    Know, you dont understand my point.

    You're on some arrogant BS trying to say you understand me when you dont, and then saying that stupid ass Cartman line when I'm trying to be civil because theres nothing to be gained from this conversation, and it'll only create problems.

    Is dviss1 still trying to argue that Cuban's comments were racists? The 'ignore' feature is a wonderful tool....

    Defending Cuban and asking if it's wrong to look into the issue are two very different things. You're every bit as guilty of perpetuating the problem by being overly sensitive to dealing with the perceptions that underlie it. Take your own advice and don't try solving problems by turning a blind eye.

    Hilarious.

    That's what's being done about Cuban's comment.

    The Pacers have a net rating of +11.6 with rookie Aaron Holiday on the floor. He is really good.
