It's up to management to find that player, and until then, we have to leverage DLO's strengths while overcoming his weaknesses.

Fair enough, but you should also be able to understand and even admit that that player might not be available right now either by trade, free agency, or the draft, and the current alternatives to D'Angelo Russell on the roster are not upgrades in any sense. I'd double down on that considering this was an uncharacteristically poor season for him shooting the basketball.

In my opinion, trade talks concerning Russell have no real legs until there's some kind of reporting concerning the contract demands and negotiations between his side and the Timberwolves' front office. We're essentially just spinning the tires.

I've read your posts for a while and I've decided that you're the Dlo of posters and Dlo is the Camden of nba point guards. I think maybe that's why you're so drawn to him. You fancy yourself as the smartest guy in the room... maybe you are, but I've never seen it lol.

Totally unnecessary. I don't know why the two of you have such a history here or where it began, but the dynamic between the two of you takes away from the board imo. Can the name calling and personal attacks stop?

Am I being implicated here? If so, what exactly did I do? What's the solution on my end besides logging out?

Unfortunately, these are the trolls that take a lot of the fun and productive conversation out of the board for me. I enjoy the conversation and back-and-forth with almost all of the original posters. And I'm guilty of having my own spats in the past, but more recently I get targeted or singled out by people with less time invested here simply for having a different opinion or take on something basketball-related.
