    For the last 18 months, nobody has been saying, "so glad we are paying less money for aminu"......they've been straight up saying Aminu is BETTER!, That WE are better without Nic! Money has never been talked about by most here. Blanket statements about how much better we are with Aminu. Not going to take the time to find the 5K posts on this topic, but its true.

    I have a slightly different look at the situation. I won't compare Aminu to Batum. However, I will say that Harkless was able to become the player he is with Aminu. Would he have been able to do the same with Batum?

    And I'm the type of person to pay more for an older more expensive quality built nice car , than a cheaper newer economy vehicle. Like to be comfortable at all times.

    Not sure I follow what you're saying.

    If I understand it, you're saying we wouldn't pay Nic 125/5 (with the option) if he were here, (even if we did offer Parsons 94/4)?

    Don't you see the man who traded Batum daily?

    We didn't trade Batum. So a lot of us were glad that he moved on. What did you want us to say about Aminu? Shit, I'm fucking thankful that people haven't realized he's muslim.

    Have you told Olshey yet about your love of Batum and that he's better than Aminu? And if you do please have someone video it.

    Whether we would or not I can't answer. I think trading him gives you a pretty good idea on that answer though. What I can answer is that I certainly wouldn't want him at that price for another inconsistent 5 years.

    And this offer to Parsons actually never happened. We pulled it after looking at his physical and we actually told him to take the MEM offer.

    As long as you post narrow minded viewpoints and totally ignore stats and other peoples' posts.

    no 8 isnt a quarter of 25. I thought you smart enough to know I was tossing round offs in there. I thought wrong apparently.

    It was you who started this get outa here crap on a statement answering a question you are now argueing a completely different point of. I suggest you go back and re read HCP's question first....

    Ah I kinda remember that, but didn't think there was truth to it. It certainly doesn't explain how the whole ET deal went down.

    Dude, stop making things bigger than they are. I'm ignoring you and your posts especially because half of them have have nothing do with bball. Stop getting involved when I'm not having a conversation with you. You've been here for a while now and still take this shit way too seriously.

    Actually its you who is taking shit too seriously, this post proves it. You started by quoting me, so how were you not conversing me? Do you maybe have short term memory loss? You came at me with get outa here, so I simply commented in the same fashion back to you. Then you ignored my rebuttal, either because you were trumped, but hurt or too stubborn to read the common sense.
    If you cant take the heat then stay out of the kitchen, pay attention to who you are quoting and how you respond to them... DUDE....
    LOL.

    Read my posts. I am nice to those who are nice to me and rude to those who are rude to me. I dont take either way seriously. Jsut tryign to convers in the other persons prefferre state of whatever...
    You come off as negative and consitently ignorant of others rebuttals to you.

    Learn the game then post. Dont let this rookie outshine you....

    No I chose to ignore you so as not to clutter this thread with a nonsense argument. But you seem to enjoy doing that in nearly every thread. Whatever, I'm done.

    Cue another long ass post off topic with a million typos and ellipses. Yayy you win!

    Just no PMs this time. I don't want random ass emails alerting me that you sent me a message about something meaningless please.

    @yuyuza1 How is this not talking basketball?

    And how about you saying someone paid Nico $25 mill comment and how you never responded to my rebuttal?

    ;)

    Man you really contradicted yourself several times trying to put me in my place? LMAO....

    The guy specifically comments on my thoughts of Aminu vs Batum telling me to get out of here. i then provide stats and numbers and he says im not posting about basketball.

    Are there any other dillusional people around here I should be aware of???

    Damn, man... LOL
    I know I can be over the top at times but its all for fun and Ive made note of that in the past, but i'm the one being told i'm taking it too seriously? That is hilarious....
    Sorry had to point that out as im the rook and he is a long time vet who I would ASSUME could handle these types of convos..
    Not everyone is thick skinned I suppose. :)

    I will try to be wary of those who are, moving forward....sigh.....

    That's great because currently he's got the 60th best PER out of 64 qualifying SF's in the league and a negative Value Added.

    yeah...as I mentioned earlier....he's hobbled and I think he tried to start the season playing through it...doesn't look like he's been 100% all season..shots have been coming up short.
