    Not so much disagreeing with your position as clarifying my position. I don't think we should deal Brogdon for spare parts.

    I think there are plenty of vets we could bring in to show the kids the ropes who wouldn't also have to take their minutes.

    Agree that we can also bring in other vets.

    Was just finishing up the Simons -Redick interview that was referenced earlier and there's the part early on where Simons mentions Dame coming to him, being a mentor, etc. in his rookie year, and how big it was. And then later on in the interview, what hasn't been mentioned in this thread(conveniently?) i him talking about how he is helping Scoot in that same way.
    I know others have kind of mentioned it but, I see no reason why Ant can't be that mentor for Scoot. Brogdon came in to the league as a 24 year old rookie. Simons, much like Scoot, came in at 19, with no college experience what so ever Has gone through similar learning curves as Scoot, even more so. Feels very relatable.

    not very interested in trading Brogdon for another guard; would depend of protections for the pick I suppose

    I'd wonder about Ant for WCJ, Harris, and that 1st

    top 5 protected.
    And Fultz is strictly there to match salary.
    IMO, that's an awful trade for Simons, but that's not a road worth going down. Though I'd suggest listening to some Orlando fans discuss WCJ

    Brogdon saw that Jerami Grant contract and said "nah, I'd like to stick around and get an extension"

    That meets the threshold of an adequate deal... No issues with proceeding here.

    No I didn't. I clarified it and asked you about it and from what I saw you never responded, which can be typical around here. Very few times does anyone say, you are right about this. Instead, just ignore and move on. Sly comes at me with WTF and I clarify him things and ask him questions and he doesn't respond. Likely, like what typically happens around here, because he feels I'm right but doesn't want to admit so, because you know. I'm me.

    I'm pretty sure knows I'm right when I say its best to be details to avoid confusion. He knows I'm right when I say vague statements can be backtracked on. But won't admit he agrees with me or I'm right on that. If he doesn't agree... holy shit man.....
    I also said I'm guilty of making that mistake and am working on it. But I'm not the only one how makes that mistake, but pretty sure the only one honest ands real enough to admit it, but yet no one gives credit to me for that statement. LOL.
    I made valid points that I'm sure most agree with and it was dismissed... as usual. There is no room for me in this conversation I see, so Ill move on bro. Have at it. :cheers:

    Nope, Though I pretty much agree with the tweet, I don't do that tweet thing. I am on FB and here. That's the extent of my social media. Social media is one of our larger dilemmas in our society.

    Who are those people? I don't think anyone would hate on Cronin if he traded Malcolm for a 1st. And I talk to a ton of people that can't stand Cronin...

    Is its that Orlando wouldn't part with Franz Wagner, that he's more valuable to them. I realize we would have to take on a bad contract and/or engineer a workable trade. He's young enough and fits what we would be looking for he's better imo than Isaac.

    I'm sure there would be a few people who either overvalue Brogdon or will critize Cronin regardless of what he does. But, to your point, I think the majority understand that's probably the going rate for Brogdon.

    Obviously Wagner would be preferable to Isaac. But I'm fully convinced that he's not available for anything we could offer.

    Edit: That said...
