    Well he has a reputation of trolling so it's nobody else's fault if it was perceived that way.

    I input. Trolling is perceived by blind homers

    Not really, trolling is intentionally provoking a reaction on the internet and then getting upset or dismayed over the reaction that is provoked.

    By your perception.

    So is it wrong that others peoples' perception of you trolling is accurate or not? And if they have a reaction to it (whether based on prior history or not) then what's the problem? Or, more accurately, whose problem is that? Yours or theirs?

    My thought? its a little bit of both parties.

    A mediocre man thinks he's never wrong. He just has to live up to that persona!

    They're the same age and came into the league the same season, but Nic has played 17,236 minutes to Evans 13,390 over the course of their respective careers. Nic's extra length, versatility on D & deep ball are what separates the two as talents.

    I love Mediocre Man, even though he comes across as a condescending prick, he's really only condescending... Prick is a bit too far. He does have knowledge of the game I will grant him that credit, and he sticks to his guns, right wrong or otherwise. I also think he really really enjoys getting under people's skin for the sake of riling them up, he may want to seek therapy for that trait... All in all I'm glad he's here.

    I think Nic has two extra years on Turner in the league, actually.

    If he loves trolling why does he deny it?

    Turner entered the league 2 years after Nic.

    In the last 3 years ET missed 2 games, Nic missed 23 (*) - and one assumes that Nic played some of these with minor injuries and thus with less efficiency.

    I do believe Nic has more talent. I just do not think that he is worth the difference in salary given the small difference in output and his nagging injuries.

    (*) - this includes the one outlier season for Nic where he did not miss a game, one would assume that normally you will see 10-15 games missed per year for him.

    MM this right here. This is what I was trying to compare and assimilate. As for the Blazers, we have not seen a low post presence be an impact for this team on a consistent basis since Randolph. All I am saying is I think he will be the next Pf in the paint to make an impact, since Randolph. He will be our next Randolph.

    That is all.

    For the record, Id have a beer with MM in a heart beat.

    my bad on the start date of their respective careers, but the obvious counter to your claim that Turner is on the court more still stands. Subtract out those first two seasons of minutes from Nic's totals and he still leads substantially in total minutes played 14,904 to 13,390. You reference the last 3 seasons for games missed & I'd again point out that Nic played more total minutes then Evan in each of those seasons.

    It's easier to stay healthy when you spend more time clapping courtside & coming off the bench for short spurts rather then playing starter's minutes.
