Those deals are simultaneous cap killers and probably franchise killers if the team sucks enough to make KP not want to resign. Then, as a GM, you get blamed for that too.

You also have to run every decision you make by this guy:

and if he doesn't like it you get fired.

I stopped posting in that other thread because I think you might be an actual crazy person. Please go to a psychiatrist and add me to your list of people who wanted you to be helped, not hurt. Please remove me from your list of people you need to revenge yourself upon. Would you like a detailed breakdown of that other poster's obvious joke so you can see how there was no actual harm meant from it?

Sure thing, friend.

Forums user "marioinblack" posted ~1,200 words in 10 paragraphs on the subject of Sports Parity, where he walked through a long train of thought and discussed how parity might apply to most of the major North American Sports. By the end of it he'd discovered that, surprisingly, there wasn't much of a conclusion to be had. At around that point he realized, "this is way too long and serious for this venue" so in lieu of forcing a final conclusion, he threw out a joke. I know it was a joke, because it was deliberately absurd and did not follow logically from any of the premises he had established. It was an acknowledgement of "wow I've wasted a bunch of time and serious words here on a not-so-serious discussion." It was expected to be read as a joke because the patent absurdity of "nuke LA" is in no way a solution to any of the issues he raised in his previous 1,150 words.

His conclusion was meant to be glib, and it would be difficult in the extreme to read that as any sort of serious suggestion. American cities do not threaten each other with wars of annihilation. The idea was ridiculous in its dark excess, i.e., a type of funny. Your reaction to it was so remarkable that I could only assume you were also making your own sort of joke, because if that were not the case it would be seemingly indicative of some type of personality disorder on your part, a large lack in your ability correctly to interpret human behavior and intentions. If that's the case, maybe you should speak to a psychiatrist and try to become more normal. They can teach you about jokes and laughing and having fun, and you will have more fun speaking to people :)

Or maybe you're still joking, who knows.

[that's a lot of words to quote, but they're right up the page, so tell me if my assessment is off]

Laugh at our jokes or you're a sadbrain. That sure is a fair offer.

I mean, I get it. An over-simplistic, rushed, dramatic, violent overture to solve a problem that may be unable to be solved and may not even be a problem, directed at probably not the source of the problem, would be in a vacuum an amusingly disproportionate reaction. I think someone talked about nuking the moon once to show how crazy the United States was? It was funnier when I had a tolerance for as far right as that blog was.

But bringing mass murder into it makes it all kind of distasteful/disgusting. The United States (where the leagues being discussed were, mostly) has something of a history of over-simplistic, rushed, dramatic, violent overtures that solve nothing and aren't targeted at the source of their problems - kind of too close/too soon as is. And then Los Angeles gets brought into it. It's home (so I better not take that personally, right?), and if you haven't noticed lately, the red-meat base that seems to have a disproportionate impression on our government for D&D/C-SPAM reasons have a big swinging hate-on for California in general and Los Angeles in particular, and this has magnified into us becoming a neon-and-dazzle-lit Socially Acceptable Target visible from space, so it feels like a downright abusive dogpile.

Reading ESPN tweets about yourself in the locker room after your games doesn't own at all. Calling out Skip Bayless sounds fun, sure, but DMing a reporter and asking them to prompt you so your rant seems like is just some stuff you haven't thought about much is like, why not just talk about him if you want to talk about him? I mean, taken individually it's obviously not a big thing, just slightly weird. But it's just like, several years now of mostly hearing that KD's personal interactions are all slightly weird.

I guess he donates a bunch to local charities tho, so that's nice. Maybe he's just weird weird and not bad weird

KD owns but he is weird. His latest slob job from Nike on YouTube starts with him describing how he could never get over on anyone...like he feels victimized all his life for not taking grey-area advantages others took. It kinda explains how he justifies going to golden state: I've played by the rules for nearly a decade, gave my team everything and never got my just reward. It's time for me to cut the line

You can be mad at him, whatever, dude wants to win more than anything and he got what he wanted. I have to wonder if the GSW don't repeat (they will) and he only ends up with 1 career ring, will he feel hollow in his victory.....
