    Riverman, the post you quoted was from the same day.

    I don't bump threads.....I go to the newest posts and read through.....I had to check the date to see when it was created after reading it. Calling out KS for suggesting a trade in 2016 by someone who has suggested a billion trades gives me pause......I'll stand by my post

    You're calling out a post from 3 years ago too, so ironically you're calling him out for something you're doing not him.

    Bones wasn't calling him out for suggesting a trade three years ago; he was calling him out at the time for linking to a "BS source" as the basis for the thread.

    Labinot was the one who bumped the old thread. I agree with Riverman that bumping an old thread just to laugh at someone is not constructive and should not be encouraged.

    I agree with that--I was talking about his response to Bones' post from 2016, not his agreement with your comment about the bump.

    Still an interesting look at the way things were viewed at the time.
    It's funny to me that this was talked about. Not what the people said. But more the subject and the way players were viewed. I would never have thought about trading CJ at the time for Whiteside but you have to admit at the time it was much more plausible than today.
    And now we have both!

    The thread title isn't about linking a thread...it's posed as a question...however KS came up with his question is no reason to be told..."you're smarter than this".....but hey....it's not going to change much at this point. One might say any editorial that doesn't turn out as projected is a BS source …..my 2 cents would be to address the thread question and not discount the reading material of the creator of a thread.....some call CNN a bullshit source...some call Fox news a bullshit source....in the end like us, they're all just talking heads

    Pre-Nurkic, I would have at least considered it. Yes, in hindsight it worked out much better to go a different direction. At the time, we desperately needed a center.

    I just find it odd that out of this entire thread you chose to call out Bones for a post he made 3 years ago when you're one of the people that accuses him of starting issues in threads. You can't see some hypocrisy there?

    You seem to have an issue with it....just like I did....if calling my response hypocrisy makes sense to you...it's all good. I try not to escalate these things...just call them as I see them. It's interesting that you view me as "one of the people that has had issues with the snark" ...in my view that's very selective of you although I know you are friends...good to have your friend's back hoopsjock….I don't think I've ever read a lot of snark in your posts...I enjoy them. Kingspeed is a friend of mine or I like to think so.....I got his back just the same...Eric and I took the bulk of the Homer bashing around here for years. riverman is a fan

    Your post is a fucking prick. Is your posts penis that small that it needs to bump an old thread to laugh at people?

    I knew that one was coming. LOL.

    Is it really that big of a deal though?

    Bumping old threads is fine, as long the bump has relevant info. Bumping to only laugh is immature, and over the line.

    Marking it as a "zombie" thread "should" weed out the posters that don't like them.

    I'd also like to see new threads marked as "hijacked", when the topic gets derailed. Those become a big waste of time.

    Another marker to consider. "Pissing contest in progress".
