    Lopez - Plumlee is an upgrade. Lillard finally has a p&r target.

    Matthews - pre-injury he was maybe worth his Sacramento deal. He's 29 and coming off an achilles tear.

    Afflalo - Came in and stunk up the joint. Good riddance.

    Aldridge - This one is on Neil. The risk was HUGE by letting him go into UFA with the roster not close to contending. Should've dealt him two years ago when he requested a trade.

    DAMMIT!!! SERRIOUSY? ANOTHER THREAD??????????????

    This couldn't have just been a post in one of the many threads all discussing the same damn thing? IS this an attention thing or something?

    What do you call it when you keep rehashing the same thing over and over in new threads with the same consequences, yet somehow expecting different results?

    Actually getting frustrated over here....

    I rely on the great people of this forum for info and entertainment and right now, EVERYONE is waiting for the post that breaks the news. NOw we have another thread to sift through...
    Enough is enough already....

    There is a thread about caring whether Rolo leaves. This could have been posted there.
    There is a thread on free agency. IT could have been posted there.

    I understand the financial implications, but I had no idea that Olshey was going to tear the team apart like this. I also don't recall anyone projecting that this was going to happen.

    We haven't had a thread asking if any of us are stunned. Being the people person that I am I find this to be a good topic.

    I care.

    Does anyone have a Suicide or Stunned Hotline number we can post?

    Who cares if there are multiple threads on a topic? This team is falling apart like nothing I've ever seen. Maybe we need 10 threads on the topic.

    Well, as Sly suggested, you may not have been reading the other threads then. Once it was mentioned that Wes was seeking $15M, and that there was a decent chance someone might give it to him, most assumed he wouldn't be back. As for Rolo, I myself posted more than once that bringing him back at an eight-figure salary would be irresponsible given his role on the team, and several others have said the same.

    Sure, I would have loved to bring everyone back for another run, but anyone playing attention knew it simply wasn't going to happen. This really isn't a massive shock to anyone but you.

    What about this Thread?

    So nobody's upset at the fact we are loosing Robin Lopez?...

    Sorry, but were talking semantics now.

    So Im not stunned, Im pissed. Lets start a Im pissed at this thread.

    But wait. someone else is overjoyed. Lets start a thread for all those overjoyed.

    I don't know. Not trying to be a prick but this thread is nothing more than just another vent with nothing of relevance in my opinion and cold have easily been posted in one of many threads for everyone to still read and comment on if so desired.
    And I know you agree with this to an extent because of your original reply to this thread. ;)

    Wes Matthews isn't worth 16 million a year. Nope. Sorry.

    Rolo has been replaced. Plumlee + Davis are a better option.

    Losing LA will sting.

    If you don't respond to a thread, it falls right off the page. People never realize this. They are feeding the thread with their complaints. Personally, I'm fine with the thread.

    Well sure, but it's rude to just ignore someone's thread. It'll make him think we don't care. You don't want that on your head, do you?

    But by responding you just bumped the thread...

    and my response to your response again bumped the thread.

    Oh god, this thread is never going away!

    Help... help...
