Will AD want to be traded after this?

[dtgold88]

well, I COULD run and hide like a terrified little bitch, but then I'd be YOU...

but unlike you I HAVE a Y chromosome...

Or you could man up and say you were wrong and have no clue what is a fact and what isn't.

 

[dtgold88]

I think I'm good with logic. I'm EXTREMELY good at cutting through bullshit...

wanna thank you for your concern, though...

but you struggle with what is a fact and what is not.

It is fact wiggy did not have AD in his previous top 5 list. Now pay attention as this is where you get lost....that does not mean he claims it is a fact AD is not a top 5 player.

Read until it sinks in...or ask for help.

lol, or I COULD go on with my day as normal...

I say top 5, he can say whatever he likes..

You can attempt to browbeat whatever you wanna hear outta somebody else...

Everybody's happy...

Nah, I'll go with my opinion, and you can continue to waste your time...

free country...

 

[Shanemansj13]

lol

Harden and Giannis have a better supporting cast around them than AD had too.

Of course they do but the Pelicans did do much and AD sat out almost half the season. I would have done the same thing the year Kawhi didn't play, simply bc he didn't play.

If this is a most talented list: AD is right in there somewhere though.

your opinion was proven to be wrong, but keep that membership in the Never Admit You are Wrong Club of SportsHoopla (NAYAWCH) in good standing, my friend.

going with "browbeat", Huh...?

that usually works...

 

[tlance]

He proved your point was wrong. He did not have AD top 5 BEFORE he was a Laker. You ignore this little factoid.

Here is the thing

People can assume cause and effect.

Point is, we were asked to rank the top 5 players in the NBA RIGHT NOW back before the playoffs started.

At that moment in time, AD had been shut down by the Pelicans after weeks of playing 20 minutes a game a shot the Pelicans tried to tank in advance of trading the disgruntled AD.

If the same exact exercise took place in December or January when AD was averaging 30, 14 and 4

I am betting just about everybody would have had Davis in the top 5. He might have even received some votes at #1.

Funny you say this, as this is the definition of brow beat.....

intimidate, cow, bulldoze, bully, browbeat mean to frighten into submission.

If you feel this way, maybe the coward here was, in fact, you?

I'll definitely stick with with top 5 until definitively proven wrong...

saying borderline top 10 is idiocy imo...

no doubt...but when the guy put out his list Davis was not on it in the top 5 and he was NOT a Laker. And what has he done since then that a new list would move him up?

whether Davis is or should be in the top 5 is irrelevant to whether CL67's logic was off base. It was.

thank you for the dictionary. Know what it means. Tyvm...

and I DID say attempt I believe. I have nothing to "fear" from a stranger on an anonymous message board, but I guess YOU can try putting that out there...

wow, just when I thought you couldn't be more ridiculous...

A new season is poised to start with Davis playing a full minute load.

His play was not the reason he was not listed. Too many other great players doing great things.

But is Harden or Curry actually better than Anthony Davis?

I don't know. They might have more impact for their teams but the eye test says Davis all the way.

Tough call there.

If you don't believe one can be brow beaten by it's very definition in this forum (and I agree) it seems odd you think I chose that tactic.

I simply showed you were wrong, because you were. Like most here would do when someone says something that can be proven to be factually incorrect.

some man up to the mistake.....but not you. Is there some punishment you'd receive if you did say you were wrong I'm not aware of?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

AD is definitely top 20

I don't disagree one bit about him being in the top 5 or at least in the discussion with a strong case to be made.

But what is the relevance in this discussion? He claimed wiggy left him out of his top 5 only because he was a Laker. Wiggy showed him a recent top 5 in which he was not included and was NOT a Laker.

He was supposed to climb into his top 5 while not even playing any meaningful minutes (none since April)? I don't know if, say, Harden or Curry are better either, but if I had them above him a couple months ago, no reason to change their ranking now.

wow, OK...

I said top 5...

Wiggy says otherwise...

Wiggy is a KNOWN hater and biased as they come...

but WHEN he made this this list is the only component you're gonna look at...

as I said, your time to waste...

now is that you're PROFESSIONAL opinion...?

YOU claimed he would have had him top 5 if NOT a Laker. Your words. In his most recent list here he did not have him top 5. You were wrong. No more, no less.

Might he be biased? Yep....but not here.

fine, fuck...

I was WRONG...
NOW will you kindly shut the hell up about it...?

Geeze, someone needs to teach you there's a right way and a wrong way to come at people, and it STILL doesn't invalidate my opinion...
