    Idk man I see him hounding guys. It's not his fault if guys like Harden or Parker hit contested jumpers on him. What it comes down to for me is if we didn't re-sign him what would we have replaced him with? Ak47? SF is not a position filled with starters around the NBA.

    Even if we waited till the draft to find his real replacement we were looking at a SF crop of Porter Jr, Shabazz, The Greek dude, The Russian dude, and Snell.

    I thought trading Strickland for Rasheed was a bad trade.

    I thought the Blazers were being idiots when they were stalling on giving Brandon Roy his big contract.

    Still baffling how some still think Nic is overpaid. He got exactly market rate.

    Have you guys heard the numbers thrown around for Gordan Hayward??

    I remember writing that Luke Babbitt will always have an NBA job as a designated shooter off the bench. lol

    I've been optimistic about every shitty PG Portland has thrown out there since Rod Strickland. It was a little like Gob's roofie cycle, where in trying to forget the last bad point guard you latch on to the next one. It was nice to finally be right about Andre Miller (no-brainer) and Lillard.

    Others:
    Honk once
    Extend Roy
    "Trout has superstar potential"
    Extend Miles
    Kemp
    Jermaine

    If I were GM, the last dozen or so years would be no less shitty than they've been anyway.

    I wouldn't have dumped Z-Bo or Sheed or extended Stoudamire though. So I was right a couple times.

    I thought Meyers Leonard would eventually pay off. Oops we're talking about past mistakes, not current.

    The only one I can really think of is Roy

    I thought he would be average at best.

    I thought I was wrong once before, but I was mistaken.

    If you can't think of anything you are wrong about, you are probably a victim of the Dunning Kruger effect.

    There's a lot of it going around, though, and not just on this board.

    Pretty much everything you just posted, I have completely agreed on. I would add that I was a Nate homer for all but his last 2 years as well.

    I'm sure there was a lot I was wrong about, I just can't remember it anymore. I suppose that's what you're describing. But I also can't remember what I was right about. =\

    I believe it was you who wanted to trade Aldridge for Ben Gordon and Michael Kidd-gilchrist a year or so ago. :tsktsk:

    What exactly does that have to do with Gerald Wallace or Steve Nash?
