There was absolutely nothing condescending in that statement. But i see you can help yourself with you're Bullshit comment.
Did you actually feel you had to explain this? I know exactly what Phoenix "doesn't have to do". Where did you start thinking that a "Contract" means anything in this league? How many "Trade" threads and "Make Moves" threads are on this site. When was the last time you heard of a guy "Wanting out"? Exactly how many times have we heard "Cancer in the locker room"? Have you ever heard of a player magnifying an injury and sit on the sidelines until they are traded? How many times have you heard of a team saying "We decided it was best to part ways...."? Now i ask you. Why do i have to explain this? It was a simple statement and no not "Condescending" at all. He must know better than that. Now drum up all the reasons it wont happen all you want but in this league any player can be moved to the right situation and under the right circumstances. Of all the people on this forum hoopsjock knows this.
When was a young star with 3 years left on his contract got trading because they demanded a trade? I'll wait.
The only way you can read condescension is if you perceive it that way. Because this is written word it is your choice in how it is read? This tells me that this is the way you communicate. Not the way i do. If i have to put "Honest Question" in front of things i post then that would assume that every other question is not honest. I do not do that because the questions i ask are indeed "Honest Questions" Originally however. I can understand your confusion. I should have added a question mark at the end of "You can't honestly believe that". I stand corrected.
Ok man. It's me. Personally i feel you are just too insecure about everything and you have some issues dealing with people but that is just the way i see it. Not fact.
Condescension is a two way street, and wow, this thread turned into a three lane highway really quickly.
I actually like that list even though they have Lillard at #7. It points out pretty clearly that as a second or third option it’s tough to be considered top of anything.
