Dude do yourself a favor and watch it! Such a great movie! The show is/was pretty good too. But not full on side splitting laughter like the movies. Also I saw Spamalot when it came to Portland.. great great musical.
#1: Why attack MIXUM for posting a link where a trade idea/possibility is discussed? I don't get it. #2: Making dollars match is not that difficult. It took me about 30 seconds to do this one: Blake, Outlaw, Howard, Joel for Salmons, Miller. Why are people acting like it would take voodoo to make this trade line up? Why take the time to attack MIXUM when it's so easy to figure out on one's own? #3: Whether the trade is possible is NOT the same as whether it's a good idea. I think this would be a bad deal for Portland; it doesn't help us that much this year, and I don't think that taking on Salmons' contract would make sense for the Blazers. Ed O.
Seconded. People mislike MIXUM's delivery and thus tend to throw the baby out with the bath water so to speak. I'm not real wild about his style, but I almost never get the impression he's trolling. This trade proposal wasn't something he cooked up, he linked to it and discussion should have ensued.
Because many of us feel he is not "honorably" posting, we feel he is doing more harm to the discussion than good. He ruffles feathers, all he does it talk crap about the Blazers, staff, players, entire organization and he does it EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! And he didn't just post a link, Ed. Come on!!! Turn your mod goggles off for a second. Do you really think he honorably wanted to discuss this trade? Or just post the link, say Martell sucks, say KP sucks and needs to figure out how to pull off the trade, or KP sucks and the whole organization sucks, rather than explain his POV. To answer your question.
I ask you this as well then. Please answer. Do you really think he honorably wanted to discuss this trade? Or just post the link, say Martell sucks, say KP sucks and needs to figure out how to pull off the trade, or KP sucks and the whole organization sucks, rather than explain his POV.
I don't know what his psychology is. My guess is that he really is a very genuinely pessimistic and downer kind of person and while I find him frequently grating, I can't say I've ever felt he was posting things just to piss people off -- my best guess is that he hates optimists with a passion and posts accordingly.
You know what sucks to me the most about this? MIXUM is a die hard Bills fan too. I LOVE the Bills. Have since I was a little kid. MIXUM, when I heard that you loved the Bills too, I thought we would be good homies!!!!! I tried to be cool with you. But man. I just don't understand why you have such a bad attitude and always talk crap!!!! As a Bills and Blazer fan to the death... please try to be a little more positive??
I think you are right. I just assume he was doing it to piss ppl off and getting a kick out of it. He must just really be that sad\depressed with his life. I wish you well MIXUM. I am sorry I lost my cool earlier.
Finding one where just the salaries match is not any great feat. The likelihood of finding a reasonable trade idea, one which both teams would agree upon, however, is next to impossible.
Also I would like to point out when you dont get angry you can end up getting along with Posters.. Exhibit A Yayuza/CleBlazer.. him and I used to go at it all the time on O-Live.. although It was more me attacking him. Sorry I was an ass back then.
It makes it more difficult when he is expecting to hang on to Joel as well, in his post. Can we work out a reasonable deal while keeping Joel? No suggestion offered, just hey, I can't figure it out, I'm not a GM, but KP should be able to, regardless of whether it is possible or reasonable.
I do not think that Miller is washed up. He's certainly not the all star he once was, though. He sucked for the Kings, then rocked for the Bulls as they made the playoffs then played the Celtics tough. The reality is that he may not care to play so hard for sucky teams in sucky situations. The guy can still pass. He puts the ball on the floor amazingly well for a slow old white guy, and he has really nice finesse around the basket. He's a $12.5M expiring contract, too. Likewise, I think Salmons would be revitalized at SF where he belongs, and on a team with a couple of outstanding players like Roy and LMA. I wouldn't count on Miller being more than a 24 MPG player. Salmons can give you 40.
I tend to agree with pretty much all of your points. Worst case scenario is that Salmons picks up his player option for next season and walks at the end of 2010/11
Did you guys read the RealGM threads about Miller and Salmons? Does that not make you think twice at all? I do like the expiring large contract for Miller though. But I am not going to mortgage our future for it. We already blew the best contract in league history lol why do it again?
