Everyone sees what you're doing. You've been given multiple examples of tanks that worked but you are moving the goal posts to support your agenda. It's not even interesting conversation anymore. Why don't you just accept that you have your viewpoint and move on to more interesting topics? You're not convincing anyone and no one is convincing you. And, for the sake of all that's good and holy, can you stop trying to force every other thread into a tank discussion?

Agreed. Ayton looks like a rich man's Emeka Okafor to me, tbh. Well, maybe not a 'rich' man's. Maybe like a middle-class man who just got his Christmas bonus?

Yeah. I'm sure mgt had interest in not paying him $7mil to lose, but a change at that point made no sense. Why not just fire him before the season, if they wanted him gone?

Wait, is it "-or" or "-er". Quick, read the label on yours. Haha, this is the greatest thread ever.

Agree with all this except the bit about Buttz getting fired. He quit on us.

Haha. It's supposedly about using a vibrater.

Heh, looking at all those dates you pay for, I figured fire-crotch was the norm for you.

Eggsactly. That's why I bowed out. And, on a note that's as equally relevant as KB's antitank crisade, did you know what the Electric Slide song is actually about? I blushed when I found out. Just nasty.

10 is Huerter.

No, that's not my interpretation. That's what KB is saying they're doing. Wild speculation meant to support his ludicrous positions. That's alllll KB. Don't put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby.

Yeah. Now he's saying they're identifying weaknesses ... to display those weaknesses in order to lose games. They're diabolical geniuses now. Dead set on losing. SMH You're becoming a caricature, KBT.

Stahhp

More Hawk-related press from summer league ... https://www.yahoo.com/sports/summer-league-ends-teams-taking-130133397.html

Why were we in the position of having to light that match? .... could it have been because of the horrible job done by the President of Basketball Ops.? He did a good job?

Nooooo, you're doing it wrong AH. You're supposed to find a situation you think failed and use that as your example. You gotta ignore any of them that looked like success stories. That's how you push an 'agenda'.

Oh, we're hiring Colangelo then we're having his wife use burner accounts to criticize folks? Staaahhhhp Everybody can see your agenda hangin' out from under your shirt.

Remember that weird story of the criminal ring that had Hawks season tickets. Seems we have that demographic on lock. Makes me look at the rest of y'all in a different light. #ShadyFans I'm also tracking to see who hasn't posted in a while. Surely this guy is a squawker.

I know CLE is a big loser this offseason but PHI is a close second. Lost their GM, botched a draft-day trade of a hometown favorite, lost all the shooting that made them dangerous down the stretch, missed out on Lebron and all the other "stars" they claimed they were hunting. Now this?

Ah, that's nice of you. Here's some MissSt football highlights for you in return ...

I'm with you here. People act like Buttz was justified in walking away from the tear-down. Well .. a tear-down was necessary because of the poor job he did as President. To me, he basically lit a match and threw it in on the couch. Then ran once it was time to put out the resulting 5-alarm fire.

Awright ... ok ... we'll let you off the hook this time. But you're getting squint-eye treatment for a while.

A bit of good press ... https://www.si.com/nba/2018/07/17/las-vegas-summer-league-winners-losers-lakers-lebron-james

What TF is a Georgia "Tec"? Do you ... hate me, KBT?

You presume I was talking about you. I wasn't. As @AHF said, there's a 'market' for everyone. If that "market" requires us to attach good assets then, in our tanking scenario, that's no market at all. You positioned your comments as if there are good offers for Dennis and the Hawks are just choosing not to take them. I think most of us are saying a Dennis trade right now would likely require us to participate in a trade that's not advantageous to the Hawks. IOW, effectively, there is no market for Dennis right now. Eggsactly.

Nah, we're discussing the merits and pitfalls of tanking ... oh wait, that's every other thread. My bad. Yeah, it seems the Hawks are trying to move him. Much to the obvious dismay of our German contingent.
