2019 Offseason Thread

[msgkings322]

Already back, was gone about an hour. Started BSing w/ some people at the dispensary about football starting up before I returned.

Oh wow that is fascinating

 

[Black Adam]

Ready for some football.....

yep, even got my Chiefs Priest Holmes jersey on. mostly hoping for no major injuries, though...

it IS just preseason, after all...

More than Cousins lol

TT is a winner, who is a champion and makes 10x more than Cousins. Cousins is a fat loser who lost 40 mill and still didn't get his ring. He won't even be in the NBA ever again most likely...Basically a Melo 2.0

Which is why I switched him out of conversation. Injuries killed him.

To be clear, Tristan has played on winning teams, but hes not a winner.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I actually like everyone here, why not? It's just killing time

When have the Kings ever been relevant after Divac/Webber? They have never had good players since.....really? It's not always about 1 individual player.....a lack of success is often because of a faulty FO.....see the Suns.

and the Cavs hadn't had much success since Lebron arrived directly before his arrival or when he was gone.....yet he thought wise to try and blame that on TT.

 

[dtgold88]

In salary negotiation, which is what we were discussing, its very relative.
James has won without a good center many times.

Lets try it a different way.

You think Cavs retain him?

What do you think his average annual salary will be next contract?

Nice deflection, but Lebron has won with TT and LA knows this. They also know he brings more to the table for that team than Cousins probably gives them.

Yes, if we know Cousins is 100% healthy this would be different, but when was the last time he was 100% healthy?

 

[dtgold88]

Do I take unprovoked shots at you for no reason in a conversation that I am not part of?

No I don’t.

And where did I call myself “the smartest guy in the room”. All I said was that I am a successful player with a lot of experience. Which is 100% proveable fact.

If Wiggy actually wanted quality advice in this forum, he shouldn’t be alienating people who can give it.

You took one at wiggy and I doubt he's that upset about it. My "shot" was you think you're the smartest guy in the room? Was messing with ya as is often done here. Far worse is said to me and I don't cry about it as you seem to be doing here.

and you proved me right.

 

[dtgold88]

Oh the irony.

I hope you don't think forgetting the comma means Jackie wont be getting another call from me.

and, no, I'm not arrogant. In fact, I'm not afraid to point out I don't know the answer to something even when some like the guy to which I replied gives his opinions as though they are fact...and do so in an extreme manner.

 

[dtgold88]

Pretty sure the word you were looking for is "deepshit".

AmIrite @buckalis ?

Pretty sure the deepshit was the guy who thought 100% and likely meant the same thing.

 

[Bart]

pretty much the old school definition of luck. it's where skill meets opportunity...

or if you're a fan of Star Trek, it's Ferengi rule of acquisition #9:"opportunity, plus INSTINCT, equals profit"

I didn’t realize you were a nerd.

 

[dtgold88]

The fact you keep saying people pick on the poster vs the post is just you being in denial of what’s actually occurring.

It is?

we have one guy who claimed I said something was 100% true when I said likely. Think we all no 100% and likely are not the same. Anyone call him out for a factually incorrect statement? Nope, they agreed with him.

You can dance, deflect, deny, distort like it's no one's business and wont ever get called out if it's a conversation with me.

You can even have a namecalling F bomb induced meltdown because I disagree and I could be called unstable.

and it cracks me up.

 

[dtgold88]

Ready for some football.....

always.

Prefer the night games preseason to 4pm, but no one asked me.

 

[Black Adam]

I didn’t realize you were a nerd.

lol, with a HELLUVA lotta cool...

but yeah, I get accused of that a lot...

My guess is you were the kid who had nobody to sit with at lunch.

 

[dtgold88]

lol ain't THIS the God's honest truth...?

and don't we ALL...

I mean, it isn't like the majority of his time isn't spent here being a conniving little weasel or anything...

coward when he's wrong so he ducks and hides, spins like crazy to "win" an argument, petty as they come...

it's funny, because the only person who actually LIKES him here is Mecca, and even SHE knows he deserves to get verbally bullet ridden here...

It was the truth in this case....then I did the same to tlance and he didn't like it. couldn't take even a little ribbing.

I also like wiggy and probably everyone else here. No one comes to mind I don't like. I can live without the retard or autistic type comments when someone doesn't like when another disagrees, but even that I get over within seconds.

 

[dtgold88]

LMFAO used to have one of these way back in the day...

my fuggin' cousin used to cheat all the time lol...

Guessing anyone in their 40s or above did. Still not sure I ever saw a completed pass.

 

[dtgold88]

and that's ONE song and dance that gets more tiresome every day...

so, if a poster goes out of his way to be an asshole he doesn't deserve recrimination...?

#tellmeanotherone

Nope....if a poster is an asshole he does deserve recrimination. On this site, there is also good natured ballbusting when someone is not an asshole.

However, if a poster is having a meltdwon because someone disagreed and offered logic facts or reason to support his case, the person who had the meltdown should be caused unstable (af anyone is), not the one who caused it.

 

[dtgold88]

Often people don’t disagree with him, so for him to continue to use that line is denial.

I use it when it's warranted.....like when you have a meltdown and I get called unstable for your meltdown
or when a poster makes a factually incorrect statement but I get called out for it. Like DJ did when he said I said fantasy sports is 100% luck.
