Most of those were tongue in check responses. I know the Cavs basically have a full roster of big men lol.

The Memphis deal was a dig at Adams bc he sucks and I’m glad he’s gone.

Toronto could actually use a big man, but you are right, they probably are too shrewd.

Would take a perfect storm, but I really like Jonas and would like to see how he fits in with Zion before trading him away even if some team called and tried to overpay for him.

Our team is starving for talent and I’m not sure I would be able to take 2 future late firsts for someone that looks like our best center since Boogie Cousins.

I'm not putting words in your mouth. You compared Val to James in his prime.


Your reading comprehension seems to be amiss even after I walk you through step by step.

No one is comparing JV to peak Lebron, but your dumbass did try to disparage JV for not magically being capable of beating the best team in the West with a bunch of scrubs, when reality is, NO ONE is beating that GS team on that night with our scrubs.

And to then take that and try and disparage JV is on the level of ridiculousness as the time you tried to claim BI was near the downside of his career and would be out of the league before 30, so go ahead and trade him.

This guys takes are pretty bad, I get it. But do you react this way any time someone disagrees with you?

You can keep repeating the same point and then denying it. Do you see what you just said?

If you take away Val, replace him with a prime James or Michael Jordan (your words). You do not think we would be better?

That is the same point you have made 3 times now. Honestly I thought you were exaggerating for dramatic purposes. But you keep repeating it.

This OP is a call out to me. I am one of the main people on here that was against trading for Val and against giving him the extension. Of course I am going to defend myself and my POV.

So once again you are doubling down on your poor reading comprehension and intentional misinterpretation, while you are simultaneously, and poorly, defending another bad take from the off-season instead of just admitting you are wrong now that the facts and results have disproven those arguments, doubling down in the face of overwhelming evidence…I see a pattern, do you?

No. I really don't. I'm not attempting debate. You made an outlandish claim. You have done nothing to defend it. You just say that I cannot understand.

I will rehash and ask this one more time. You said that we could not have defeated the Warriors if we swapped out Val for a prime James (or Michael Jordan). You have said it 3x now and called me names for not agreeing. Am I wrong?

After THREE attempts you FINALLY characterized what I actually said correct CONGRATS!

And no, you are not beating the Warriors in that game the other night with the supporting cast we have playing the way they were.

More ridiculous is to try and use JV's inability to single-handedly beat a much, much better Warriors team as a post hoc justification for your poor off-season takes, which are unequivocally wrong but you refuse to just admit you were wrong.

Just like this slight of hand you pulled where after misrepresenting me three times you try and sneak in a more correct framing and pretend the rest never happened.

Thank you. Now everybody will see how ridiculous that point is/was. You put prime James on the team and the whole dynamic is flipped. We have every chance to pull an upset. Evoking his name to make your point is silly.

We are 1-9 and you are more angry about it than me. How are my off-season concerns been proven wrong? Because Val put up 20 points as our number 1 option playing against a team that doesn't even play a Center?
