Is it though? i mean, you'd rather see LeBron miss the playoffs in LA and have the women you chase look like that? I guess it's a free country.

Most of the time.

I said Woj, not Donald Trump

Yo, LAKERS FANS....

Maybe Magic should be calling Portland?

If the Blazers flame out in the first round again, Dame gonna be the next guy to request a trade.

After they sign KD, Klay, Kyrie, and trade all their assets besides LeBron for AD, there might not be space for him.

Now that all star weekend has ended, please Kings make the playoffs! I wanna go to a playoff game at the new arena.

Pretty sure they can get him for the vet min.

He's owed about $30mil per year for the next 2, maybe LeBron can convince the Blazers to eat up 90% of the contract for taking Lillard off their hands.

Breaking News; Dame Lillard signs with Klutch.

Rich Paul gets a new victim...uh I mean client.

Alright.

I will bite.

The Porzingas deal was out of left field. So was Cousins for Hield plus, I think. Paul George too.

When you review the biggest trades that went down over the last 5 years, you will find that your assumption just isn't true.

Both Butler trades were somewhat predictable. Kyrie to Boston took time to develop. Kawhi to Toronto wasn't an obvious deal, but there were signs available on that one. Windhorst reported they were negotiating the day before it was announced. Kevin Love to Cleveland was obvious. I heard CP3 to Rockets a couple days before the deal was finalized.

So, there have been a couple big shockers on the trade front. But not MOST of the big trades like you claim. The data just doesn't support you here.

Now, let's move on, shall we?

Last one for me.....only one of those I recall getting any real run before it went down was Kevin Love. Only signs of Kawhi to Toronto or Kyrie to Boston that I can recall is they were players who asked to be dealt and Toronto and Boston are among the 30 NBA teams where they could have been dealt.

For sure in the last 2-3 years these deals seem to come out of left field for us (which I like). Porzingis, Cousins and PG (as you mentioned). I don't even know any Cavs fans who saw last year's deadline deals coming. Other biggies were Kyrie and Kawhi. Even if you want to believe we had an inkling about Kyrie and Kawhi (Toronto? Really?). my comment stands....we were clueless on the majority of deals that went down.

And lets add Harris to that, as well.

Done.

I think I prefer Wiggy's tendency to just avoid responding to the post at all costs, over this.

This is just boring and super pathetic at this point....lol

says the poster "who responded at all costs"

Ya gotta love this forum.

 

[dtgold88]

Seriously, take it from someone who gets along with almost everyone.

Your reputation as a guy who can't ever admit he's wrong is a bad look.

It's the internet.

People you will never see face to face in your life.

Don't be pathetic.

Show me with any factual evidence I'm wrong and I'll always say I'm wrong. You know, like all those trades I pointed out we didn't see coming.

I'll look you up, though, if I get back to Phoenix if it makes you feel better?

 

[dtgold88]

Do you have a psychological issue?

I'm just really trying to understand what is clearly wrong with you...lol

You are wrong.

Everyone, including you, know it.

Just move on.

Nobody is going to agree with your rubbish.

You wait days and days to respond because you can't without looking like a even bigger clown.

So, just move on.

I'll go in order of your pearls of wisdom.......

*Any? Probably. One is clearly I keep replying to the irrational knowing they don't have it in them to do anything other than deflect. I'm sure college friends I still hang around with could list many others.

*see last comment

*doesn't seem so as I've provided facts to support my case, while nothing to refute it that is factual

*see last comment

*I will. Maybe do as you say, not as you do?

*Wont be the first time I took an opposing view from many others and was able to justify my comments with facts while deflection (like your last comments) was the MO from opposing viewpoint.

*It's usually a day or so at most, but if that's the case it's because I don't reply when I'm not on the internet. Crazy, I know.

*Now you cannot even keep up with your own comments

 

[dtgold88]

FIFY

If I liked baseball games where I didn't care who won I'd probably find the baseball all star game entertaining.

 

[DJ]

Ass like that and @DJ in here talkin' 'bout her face.

That boy ain't right in the haid.

Only so much doggy style you can do before you gotta look her square in that mug.

From Joe Vardon @ The Athletic

8. The Lakers are privately a little concerned about LeBron. Is he fully healed from the groin strain that cost him a career-worst 18 games? Is he going to pick up his intensity and propel this team back into the playoffs, as he did last year in Cleveland? James, 34, is actually averaging a triple double for the Lakers since his return from injury (23.2 points, 10.8 rebounds, 11.0 assists), but he’s just not moving at the same speed nor is he engaging at the point of attack. That fourth-quarter moment in a loss to the Hawks on Wednesday in which Trae Young switched onto LeBron, and instead of taking the much smaller Young off the dribble LeBron casually threw the ball to Brandon Ingram in the corner? There are several examples like this.

Dude, you are lame.

Instead of admitting you jumped into a conversation and started talking out the side of your ass, you have to resort to moving goalposts and trying to distract with the red herring defense.

It doesn't work on me.

You have attempted to do this in every debate that you've lost on this form, which is redundant, because you have actually lost every debate you've had on this form.

You said they were guessing and anyone can do their job.

Don't try to qualify your stupid ass comments now by listing the things that they didn't break.

Nobody said they broke every story.

What I said was, you have no idea what the fuck you speak of and you look like a blithering idiot by continuously proving my point.

Seriously, go away.

You should probably just make your default, "I really cannot refute what you said so I will deflect instead with a number of blathering comments that are mostly irrelevant to the topic at hand"
