We're not winning a championship this year.
We could've won one. I said that with no shred of doubt. With all the misfortunes that Cleveland and the Warriors are faced with, Banner 18 would've been sure fire.
But no...Danny's apologist never fails. The puppets who, forever, marginalize their inteligence for some know-it-all GM. It's funny how the same critics forever question the worst GMs in the league but their own.
Smh. Danny screwed up big time. I never backed away from that and I'm glad few smart people around here agrees.
Yea, draft Balls or Fultz (however tha **** his name is spelled), then what? What happens to IT and all others guys whose contracts are due?
Reality is going to kick in soon enough for these people around here, if it hasn't already. 1st round bounce. 2nd at best.
if you think banner 18 was sure fire you are stupid.
Unless you are too ****ing dumb to think that trading for Cousins (whom we would've gotten without having to give up any major picks), Jimmy or George wouldn't topple depleted Cavs or Warriors.
****ing moron.
lol
Theres two things you cant fully evaluate
1. How much of a moron/negative personality is Cousins. Is he actually that toxic? I dont know. I wanted to trade for him. I think Ainge has a better evaluation of that and frankly just how low the price was makes me more confident that Cousins is really that toxic.
2. The prices for Butler/George
Prices could have easily been prohibitive for Butler and George and Cousins is the only one of those guys likely to make us favorites over Cleveland.
To say any player out there save Lebron James makes banner 18 a sure thing is to demonstrate a fundamental misunderstanding of sports.
The 07 Patriots didnt win the superbowl, the 73-9 Warriors lost last years finals.
dont call me a ****ing moron for not having emotional overreactions.
Yea, compare football to basketball. Here's where it would've been advisable for me to cut off this ridiculous back-and-fourth. How is comparing, fundamentally, two completely two different sports in an effort to bolster the empty points you're trying to make? How about we compare compare basketball to boxing? As long as the two are sports, why not?
Stop the nonsense. I didn't say a player. I mentioned 2 to 3 names. MORONS always twist situations to fit their ridiculous assertions.
Read what I said, and post your **** again. How about that?
We could've won one. I said that with no shred of doubt. With all the misfortunes that Cleveland and the Warriors are faced with, Banner 18 would've been sure fire.
by definition you claim that a championship would have been guaranteed beyond all doubt. Meaning effectively there is a 0% chance we do not win a championship. In sports, even basketball, this is never true. Thats my main objective, but Ill move past that for now.
You go on to list the conditions at which we could win a championship.
Unless you are too ****ing dumb to think that trading for Cousins (whom we would've gotten without having to give up any major picks), Jimmy or George wouldn't topple depleted Cavs or Warriors.
trading for a, b or c means trading for one of the three.
had you said Cousins AND Jimmy or George the debate would be slightly different.
As such, I am left to evaluate 3 players.
I dont believe that the addition Butler or George would immediately make us favorites over Cleveland. Perhaps with the Love injury it makes it a toss-up. Cousins, assuming his sanity (which is something just about every NBA GM decided not to do) probably makes us favorites over the Cavs and potentially even favorites over the Durantless Warriors. Probably a toss-up vs. the Warriors if KD is healthy (those are some very optimistic projections).
All that said, even the most green eyed Celtic homer would concede that there would still be non-trivial chance that we win a championship. Thus a ring would not be surefire.
