This. I don't want him in part because everywhere he goes it's HIS team. I don't like the chemistry on 'his' teams. The Blazers play at the intersection of Billups Blvd and Lillard Lane. I'm happy with Lebron staying in his.
You are either in or out. Do you want to keep Dame? Do you want to try to win with Dame? If Lebron becomes available you go for it. Especially if you don't have to give up Dame, Ant, Nurk etc. If a superstar comes available and wants to play with Dame, you go for it if you plan on Dame staying. If you want to move Dame for assets. Keep our picks and start over with Ant, Little, Hart, picks. Great. Holding Dame hostage when a bona fide superstar wants to play with him would be absolutely ludicrous.
i know. Just tired of the double standards from people i have mad respect for around here. Its a gut shot to get slammed by someone who you like posting so much.
Seems like you went looking for the argument/confrontation, calling them out for not responding to your clarification, as if a response was all that needed. And then were upset when you seemingly got what you were looking for. Is this where I ask about your 27/7/7 comment being wrong and you not owning that you had his stats wrong, and how dare the double standards?
im not even sure what you are talking about? im not rehashing the events. They are there for everyone to read the timeline. Regarding lbjs stats? I dont know what you are talking about? I thought you made a joke that he deteriorated to whatever statsyou posted and i corrected it as a complete joke. I never claimed to even know what lbjs stats are currently. I just thought you were poking a joke and i added on making a stat up showing he deteriorated half a point less than what you posted, man. Everyone being way to serious, but claiming im the issue here…. got it. i apologize R7, for causing such an issue, looking for clarification of a post asking what im talking about, making things personal and all that. Im just an evil troll of a poster and i wanted nothing to do with an up and up convo trying to clarify what he meant( as i have mad respect for his posts about basketball) And felt shunned when he didnt respond and then asked for a response. How evil of me…. How immature of me. How bad of a person i am for that. You got me. Im so sorry……. edit: also my calling him out was asking for a follow up since he quoted me from a post after the one in question. I thought he missed it and didn't know it so i jokingly(lol????) called him on it, wven though i felt shunned. I thought the response would be to clarify or explain what his confusion was. Not to make it personal. really. Yall went way serious when i thought we were all having fun Nd joking aBout lbjs deterioration or lack off. Then i got outed as some strawman? sssssstttiiill smfh…. Just cant win around here….
No need for the unnecessary hyperbole. As for wanting clarification, I dunno, donesn't seem like there was a huge need for clarification on it. So not responding didn't seem like that big of a deal. But asking like you did: comes across as wanting to continue on with an argument that was going nowhere. And for seemingly no good reason.
This is the problem. I didn't see it as an argument. Just a discussion i was looking for clarity on is all. But everyone seems to assume i mean the worst intent even though i lolled. Laughed. It was a damn joke of a post. Not a heated argument until i got called a strawman, i thought were were all just talking. too fucking serious around here. But its all me…. Right.
Now watch. The next kicker will be i cant let things go. Even though I'm just responding to others’ posts who also cant let it go, but will blame me for not letting it go…. everyone else is perfect around here and im the ONLy one who causes trouble. Its not hyperbole. Its the regular narrative by some here. Its hilarious… Lol.
what sort of clarity? They specifically said they were responding to a post you made. You made a follow up post that clarified your statement as being bigs, but that wasn't what they were responding to, and they stated that. There was no need for clarity on any of it. They responded to a post, you added more after the fact. You get so upset that people don't respond to you in the way you expect them to. It was a minor miscommunication that needed no clarifying, but then you started ranting on it.
Lebron is still a very good player on offense when he wants to be. He pretty much single-handedly beat Utah, and made Gobert look like a common stiff.
I'm not a big Lebron guy, but if you have been saying you want the Blazers to do whatever it takes to have a chance at winning a title, but you would reject a picks+filler for Lebron trade, you're talking out of both sides of your mouth.
Yup. You either go all in for Dame. Or you trade Dame and go with the youth movement. Trading for Grant is great and all, but it does not make us in any way closer to contention than Lebron would.
