Femur posted:what's wrong with what I said? Our system is based on poo poo we take from the earth, and reputation(goodwill). Gilbert is in the middle of the goodwill side between loan sharks and goldman sachs. I was more referring to the fact that you claimed that the consensus was that Love was a "perfect fit" and then went on to spread rumors about a guy you know claiming that Demarcus Cousins is stupid and in a gang. It was just a whopper of a post all around. I liked it a lot, don't get me wrong.

I am pretty sure the general consensus was that Love was a great fit, with the Heats as the baseline. That's why people hated on Blatt. I know Boogie is some misunderstood genius on here, but hey, that's what I heard, maybe the dude hated on cousins for getting out of the life he currently is trapped in, embellishing poo poo; gossip is half the point of this place.

It was always a gamble that love would Work obviously. It was a much better bet love would work than Wiggins tho, especially since money is not an issue .

I finally got around to reading that article that got Boogie all worked up. http://www.sacbee.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/andy-furillo/article120107843.html It's a bad article but mostly because all of the quotes are from the lawyer suing DMC and Barnes and the lawyer's claims are presented as fact. Also it's a really smug column. Also Cousins' "Don't ever mention my family" thing is pretty stupid when the reference to his brother is a recent incident at a night club that Boogie was also involved in. DMC could've gone about resolving the issue in like 100 different ways that all would've been better than what he did.

That wasn't the consensus at all at first, there were even stories of Love and LeBron having arguments in the locker room and James calling him out in public about playing his role rather than wanting to be the main option on offence. Clearly the issue was more the way they ran the offence, but ego probably played a role, too.

Hashtag Banterzone posted:Also Cousins' "Don't ever mention my family" thing is pretty stupid when the reference to his brother is a recent incident at a night club that Boogie was also involved in. His brother had nothing to do with the Barnes nightclub incident and DeMarcus was not at all directly involved in the incident that happened in that night club nor was he charged with anything. If for some reason you think stating that DeMarcus was in a night club once where a fight broke out is relevant to your article, sure go nuts. But what does his brother have to do with that? The fact that he omitted anything about Cousins not being arrested or charged and also throwing his brother's name out there as well as that he was arrested means you're trying to imply certain things. But either way, I agree with you in that he handled a poo poo article really poorly. quote:For out-of-town, big-city tourists Matt Barnes and DeMarcus Cousins, their choice for late-night entertainment late Sunday was a joint in the meatpacking district called the Avenue club. Maybe the Kings’ star big man and their top reserve should have checked out the Yelp reviews before making the move over to 10th Avenue, after their 106-98 loss to the Knicks. No problem with the $2,000 VIP table fees, or the bouncers who sometimes shake you down for $300 at the door, or the $650 bottle service on Hennessy XO. But some of the Yelpers complained about 20-minute bathroom lines that VIPers beat by paying off the attendants at the lavatory door, which had the unfortunate consequence of wrapping the bathroom lines back into those $2,000, high-end tables. What does this have to do with anything?!? quote:Maybe he, and Barnes, should find better places to hang out. Oooooh I see. It's one of those articles.

When their offense wasn't the greatest ever, then people considered defense and other poo poo to explain why. Femur fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Dec 19, 2016 |

DMC and his brother were at a night club in Tampa in May. His brother was arrested. I think it's completely acceptable and in fact good journalism to mention something like that in an article about Barnes and Cousins being involved in an incident at a nightclub in NYC. Everything else about the article is awful.

He is a tough fit with Lebron's clique. Channing Frye coming up with absurd "Kevin Love fashion model" thing was the best thing that could have happened. It made Love part of the group without him actually having to do anything requiring social skills to get in.

I'm glad we went through this soul searching discussion about Kevin Love because it's something I've been thinking about a lot lately: the way we remember our predictions when we get them right and forget about the uncertainty we faced when making them. I'm looking through my predraft notes and I'm embarrassed by how low my success rate is. It may be helpful to have a prediction contest the next time a big trade happens so we can look back later and see exactly what we thought at the time and be humbled by how wrong we were (or gloat about how right we were). This would be different than just predicting wins or who makes the playoffs because there would be greater uncertainty, the main thing people forget.

An decent article on Finney-Smith, one of the best new additions to Dallas. http://www.mavsmoneyball.com/2016/12/19/13987168/dallas-mavericks-dorian-finney-smith-diamond-in-the-rough From all the games I've seen this season, the only Mavs that I'm sure will be on the team long term are Barnes, Curry, and Finney-Smith. Maybe Powell and Anderson as well but they have been so inconsistent this season. Mejri is good enough to at least be a backup center but since he made it to the league so late who knows how long he lasts. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Dec 19, 2016 |

Noah Vonleh and RJ Hunter just haven't been given a fair chance. Went looking for the Kevin Love chat in the N/V thread and I don't think it's in archives. Someone has something to hide.

I don't need to do this generally because all of my draft predictions are always wrong. If I'm really excited about a college player you can for sure pencil him in as a bust.

Kids claim gang sets without every doing anything in the gang - you're just sort of automatically in the gang based on the geography of where you live. This is a p good episode of TAS that explains the gang situation in Englewood: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/487/harper-high-school-part-one?act=1.

It shows that Cousins has likely been involved in similar incidents previously. Say Boogie had been riding on the back of Delonte West's motorcycle. That would've been another thing that would be worth mentioning in an article about the Barnes and DMC nightclub incident. Or if Boogie was there when Qyntel Woods used his playing card as ID. Or if he was bowling with AI back in the day. I don't get how that's controversial.

A cousin of mine had a very close friend of hers killed while at a teen night club in the somewhat rural areas outside of Baton Rouge a little over 15 years ago. It was done as part of a gang initiation ritual.

I should probably give Boogie the benefit of the doubt and not just assume he was involved because it was his brother.

I'm pretty sure the Love for Wiggins trade was a precondition of Lebron coming back to Cleveland, in which case it is an loving absolute no-brainer. Sure the actual trade was consummated like a month after Lebron signed, but everyone knew it was happening and it was just delayed because they had to wait 30 days after Wiggins signed his contract per league rules.
