I think you're trying to play the victim card after you've been puffing your chest out on the board lately calling myself and others names, including you calling me an "egotistical ass" after I brought up the Big Board thread of mine in a different thread. You also unsuccessfully declared that I was hypocrite. Above all of that, the most annoying aspect of your posts is that whenever the name Jamal Murray pops up, you take it upon yourself to declare keyboard warfare on all those that like him or are at the very least intrigued with him. I know you're not a fan of his. I know you don't think highly of him. I think everyone knows your stance. You've done a fantastic job of making that clear -- similar to the aggressiveness of my liking to Towns last year, though in retrospect, I went way too far in trying to change people's opinions. I'm well aware now that it's not only rude, but it's tiresome. People are going to like and dislike certain prospects regardless of what debate is brought forth. Instead of jumping at every opportunity to declare how much you hate him, it might be nice for others to discuss and come to whatever conclusion they choose to without you always jumping in spewing your anti-Murray rhetoric.
I asked for us -- me and you -- to not speak about Murray again for one specific reason: you never bring anything new to your argument. It's the same tired view of how poorly Murray plays defense while ignoring most of his offensive game, and not giving him an ounce of a chance to improve. On the other side of that coin, you see Buddy Hield having enormous potential and compare him as a senior to a freshman Murray as if they're equals in their development, though they clearly are not. I grew tired of talking to you, especially about him. Do you understand? It's exhausting.
Puffing my chest. LOL. Victim Card-Hilarious too! I am not into personal attacks but for you it seems second nature. I have only name called you and Hicks after both of you took shots at me first. Cam, you have gotten into battles with multiple people on this board. We actually got along fine before you disappeared into your self imposed exile. I started posting on this thread and you started belittling my posts, saying I hadn't seen enough tape, saying I was wrong, blah blah blah. I brought up Porzingis to lighten the mood in what I thought was a good natured response to your attacks and you took it personally. From then on, you have went out of your way to attack many of my posts. Its as if you were trying to create an argument when one didn't exist. You take jabs at me or my posts (perhaps you aren't aware of it) and think that when I respond to you in a similar fashion, that I'm the instigator. It was funny I was like the 10th person who mentioned Denzel Valentine and you post that I talk about him ad nauseum. Its fine for you to post 100 or 200 posts all praisiing Jamal Murray but I can't rebut your posts without being accused of hating him. I don't hate Jamal the person, but I think he'd be a poor fit on our team. You said I was being inconsistent with Denzel Valentine when I said I thought he was a top ten player but I wanted to draft him in the 20s. Nothing inconsistent about that, you always want to get good value. You jumped on me when I said Brice Johnson might be a good late round pick. Its been like that with you. Then you like to jump on me for starting a thread on Bender. So talking up Murray you are all for, but starting a pro Bender thread is "pointless".
Its interesting you brought up Towns. I posted many more pro-Towns threads than you last year so don't try to claim the mantle of this board's biggest supporter, which I know you have done multiple times. I took a very anti-Russell position last year when he was being talked up as someone we should draft. Nobody would argue that we shouldn't have taken KAT over Russell.
