    There's a lot more to their differences that just defense. Granted, that's a huge difference between the two. But passing is equally huge. And so is IQ.
    But comparing anyone to Duncan is unfair - there's a reason he's called the Big Fundamental. No other player in the modern NBA has been as fundamentally sound as Duncan.

    How did we belittle people? We were being personally attacked left and right. We didn't make that shit up out of thin air. There were reports coming from multiple media sources that Aldridge was unhappy. Revisionist history though.

    Lol. What a joke.

    You're still trying to spin that ridiculous guarantee from you and Brian.

    If I remember correctly you were calling people "babies" and "immature" for not agreeing with your guarantee.

    No, it wasn't just Quick and Canzano.

    There's no fight to continue. Just calling you out for ridiculous claims.

    There is no plan that can make up for losing your best player in free agency. If he bolts, it's back to the drawing board. At best the team might be able to swing a sign-and-trade, but with the new CBA I'm not even sure if that's much of an option anymore (I haven't paid enough attention to the fine print).

    Yes, more "call outs" is exactly what this board needs.

    You've posted twice in the past month. You're the forum hero we need, but not the one we deserve.

    I have a strong feeling that Olshey will make DeAndre Jordan his first attempt..they have a long history

    Let's hope the immortal words of Bill Schonely prevent him from doing so.

    I will go on record as saying I hope LMA stays but since this is a Plan B thread I wonder, one of the concerns with signing Greg Monroe was a lack of defense, does that concern go away if we pair him with Hibbert?
