Just like it was Thibs time 3 years ago, you one-note Buffoon
Mmmm, thought this board was mostly past this sort of stuff years ago, yet it seems like the personal insults rears its ugly head now and again. You may not like Cam's takes, but you are sounding like the one-note tune with your regular attacks on him (not that he particularly cares). Grow up.
It actually started a few years ago with Cam's emergence on the board among others. This is a bit of revisionist history on your part.
Disagree. Back in the ESPN days and early days of this board, there used to be a fair amount of trollish behavior and personal insults, totally unrelated to Cam (remember Jason?). Those folks have mostly dropped out.
Cam brings strong takes and a well informed perspective. I don't agree with all of it, but generally enjoy the dialogue it brings. You and KG obviously feel otherwise, but I'm not sure there is really anyone else with an axe to grind other than you two.
I am a bit torn on DLO, right now he is playing with G-leaguers. I think a three-person rotation of the G spot with him, Okogie and Culver might work. I just dont think we can trade for him with spare parts - Teague, Dieng, Napier, Von? That is a lot of expiring deals for GS and only 1 year for Dieng who could be serviceable as a backup for them. They are tanking but I dont see them wanting to take our trash in a tanking year when they already have shittier players on the floor.
That is a pretty potent offense - Okogie would offset some of DLO shortcomings much like GS does it with Klay and Green (ours version OK and Cov)
The gamble with DLO is that we have to hope we get at minimum the Brooklyn 2018-19 version. I think we'd need an even better version than that, but that is table stakes. My gut tells me that between him, Wiggins, and KAT we'd be even softer than we are right now and the wins would only happen when at least 2 out of 3 get hot, because they ain't stopping anybody. Cov and Okogie can only do so much defensively....

And this surprises me. Why people allow someone to talk so condescendingly and sarcastically to them is a total mystery. It's not that he doesn't know what he's talking about, it's his delivery i have a problem with. I'm thankful at least one other person has the pride to be able to see through it. And certainly there have been others over the years who have spoken up and know what I'm referring to. If it doesn't bother you, more power to you.
Would they take Wiggins for DLO? It could actually work out well for both teams. Wiggins struggles mostly with motivation but if he's playing for a championship caliber team, I could see him doing well. DLO doesn't fit well there, with the full lineup of healthy guys.
Wolves need better playmakers and scorers and that is DLO.

I feel several people on here can come off as a bit pretentious - but I appreciate all the thought out opinions and statistical crunching that does happen. I guess I have always felt if my take is righteous, then it will stand on its own merits - I share my thoughts and analysis, as shitty as they may be, and if people see something of value they will expand or have a different take - or most likely, they argue points against it making me rethink my take.
I think rather than ranking the biggest assholes on the board we can get back to what we're good at. Ranking draft picks that will give us hope then break our hearts.
In my opinion whatever past beefs exist here could be squashed pretty easily. It's debates and comments on basketball. Sometimes they get more personal and testy than they need to be, but ultimately it needs to be put in perspective. Plus it's written, so easy to infer emotion that isn't there when we read something. Just give everyone the benefit of the doubt and we should be fine.
That being said anyone who doesn't want DLO on this team is a total loser ;)

Such an asshole for leaving me off. You really need to be on the Abe. Don't sell yourself short. You can do it.
