Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted July 30, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Wouldn't it be poetic if another team claimed him off waivers? "You wanted Houston, Melo? Too bad! You get Portland!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flight Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 So I'm guessing there won't be a Carmelo appreciation thread? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then show a confused pic (a pic) of LALA Antony looking...like herself...on the Jumbotron! Then immediately cut to the fat guy in Chicago catching a fireball in his stomach.

Funny the way you put that. Don't forget Anderson. I am hoping he turns into a good defensive 2nd teamer that we can keep for a good price.

Sooooo.... just so we're on the same page.... had Schlenk only dealt with OKC, not Melo or his agent.... that constitutes a "conspiracy?" Maybe in your book, not mine.

That's some fuzzy math. Dennis is owed 45 million. We paid 25 million so it seems like we saved 20 million by not having Dennis play for us.

All the if, and, or but statements about Melo would have made a bad short story and they could have been summed up in one sentence: "Once we have him, he will be cut loose ASAP."

You're one of my favorite posters ordinarily, buzz, but this is the second time in the last week IIRC that you attempted to muddy something I've said with a sly mischaracterization. There was nothing "conspiratorial" in what I'd said on the Melo deal. And there is no overarching agenda on my part to piss on anything Schlenk ever says or does. But you appear to be disinterested in correcting your words. No problem, that's your right. But far be it for you in that case to be telling me how I should respond. What you said on both counts was misleading at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, all those exchanges of John Candy gifs from ✈️ ? and ? meant nothing to you? (Storms out for dramatic effect).. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you said on both counts was misleading at best. This discussion coming back up is a bit splitting hairs, IMO. Sturt correctly pointed out the theoretical possibilities out there with Melo. Buzz correctly pointed out that in the real world those theoretical alternatives were really not in play. Now Melo is cut like everyone, including Sturt, expected. No need to rehash this too much.

Premium Member sturt Posted July 30, 2018 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Not interested in going back to that discussion, @AHF... just trying to make sure there's some precision in words. Take issue with the other person's substance. Don't attempt to paint the other person's position or the person himself as something that isn't, please.
