Nothing wrong with Thad. He's a decent player. He's just a bad fit for a lottery-bound rebuilding team and a poor fit as a starting PF on a team in need of rebounding help.

This again is just ridiculous. The difference between taking a risk at 1 and 13 is monumental. We get that you see basically no risk in taking Towns, but now you are making big stretches comparing the risk at 13 and the risk at 1. You can take a homerun swing with little consequence at 13. If you miss on the top pick you set your franchise back multiple years.

Cleveland also didn't consult with us on the Wiggins pick because he was off the table for a while after he was drafted. If they took him with a trade in mind he would have been signed as soon as possible so he could have been moved as soon as possible. They were still trying to give us the same poo-poo platter from last year before Lebron told them to get it done.

We get that you want Towns, but you don't need to stretch it so far to make it look like the only move or people are crazy when there are already pieces of Towns' game that make him a fit here. There are pieces in all 5 top picks' games that make them fits here where it wouldn't be crazy to take them over Towns.

Nothing you say isn't ridiculous, right khans? You're the brightest basketball mind to ever grace this board and we should feel oh so lucky to have you write us essays telling us why we're all so wrong.

Your replies are with the intent to make me look like I'm "stretching" with a certain goal in mind. You continue to do this and it's annoying as fuck. How about with every post you make, I combat it telling you that you're just stretching something to fit your own bias. How about with every post you make defending Payne or Bennett, I just attack it by saying you're post is ridiculous and that your just trying to make a case for them out of thin air.

Frankly, I'm tired of it. And I'm tired of you and your posts. And I'm tired of always having a fight with you on here. Fuck with somebody else or just ignore my posts in general.

Maybe it's because I'm fucking tired of you beating it into the ground how good your guys are and how bad guys are that you have given up on. Ever think about it that way? Every draft post involves you bringing up Towns and another reason why we need to draft him. Every Payne or Bennett post involves you chiming in how they are garbage and should be tossed aside. Every Bennett post involves you whining about how great Thad Young is and how we should have kept Thad instead. You beat your points into the ground like we haven't heard them before and it is your responsibility to convince everyone you're right.

I'm just as tired of you posting the same shit over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again as you are of me calling you out for it. That's why I always call you out because you make stretches for guys after you've already posted on their behalf a billion times like that one more piece of information is going to turn people's opinions around. If you want to call me out for stretching something so be it, but I'm not the one finding every reason on this earth why we should take a guy or the organization is stupid. If you didn't beat everything into the ground I wouldn't come after you, but it is annoying me so I'm going to call you out when you keep piling on reasons why you're right while simultaneously calling out other people who have a different opinion on the draft order aka Winslow being ranked ahead of Russell or Mudiay or choosing Okafor over Towns, etc. I know I'm not the only one worn out by your repeatedly reiterated thoughts on the board about your guys and who you don't like.

Strong opinions are great so long as you leave room for other people to be right because nobody is right all the time.

Really? Says the guy who's whining about me picking on him. If you say something that I think is stupid and baseless like the Timberwolves consulting with the Cavs to take Wiggins, I'm going to call you out on it. Simple as that.
