    Well, my doubts stem from two main reasons.

    1) Allowing Martell to come back too soon and re-injure himself.

    2) Allowing Greg Oden to gain so much weight (muscle) during his year off. It just didn't seem right. Now that he's thinner, he's playing much better.

    3) Batum - I would like a little more insight before I form any opinions on this one. I don't feel like we know all the details.

    I think most of the negativity would be gone if we don't let the mods post.

    So the majority who post positively (like, get rid of Outlaw, blow up the Sheed teams and fire Whitsitt) want the people who post negatively (like, defending the present team, now or then) to shut up.

    I wrote about this a couple of times years ago on the ESPN board when I was castigated for being negative (I didn't want to blow up a .600 team and go through years of purgatory waiting for the comeback). This thread today is dead so I won't write a big philosophical paragraph with the theme--

    What is the definition of negativity? It's all relative. Everyone sees himself as the positive one and the opposition as the negative one
