Let's get back to talking bad about them!

 

 

Unity is good.

But even terrorists enjoy unity.

Unity supported by some good principles is so much better. Day vs. night better.

Calling out bad takes/venomous behavior is, actually, a positive thing...  boundaries... there should be boundaries. It is, in fact, what helps ensure the unity that exists is well-grounded.

It's not often you get to witness someone in the midst of a mental breakdown.   Spud, thanks for letting us join you on your "journey".  it hasn't been pretty, but it's been fascinating.  

Are you talking?

Fine. You have that right.

But then, have the common sense to admit that that's the same thing as calling @Sothron a liar.

Nah I’ve made my point I’m good.

Take out your 'fustrations' with the Resslers - not each other!

Let's get back to talking bad about them!

.....and where is Grant Hill, the basketball guy in all of this?

Hey, all I did was question some bs Monday morning quarterback fake insider stuff and the minions on me is all.

 

The Ressler’s aren’t making good moves this week outside of the Korver to assistant GM. (I think).

You did, indeed. It's just not the one you'd evidently thought you made.

No, it is. You read it the way you wanted to read it. 

[sturt]

Oh. Okay.

[kg01]

Yall are making me sad. 

[sturt]

Complimented Spud earlier this morning on his ability to offer up a "my bad"... and he's spent all these posts since, it seems, walking back his "my bad."

Not a good morning in the Bay Area.

I moved on, I’m talking about the first quarter of last night at 10:12 left, 4-2 the score and Trae hits Big O wit a nice dime.

That set the tone I thought right then and there.

I didn’t ask any of that. That was a solo journey by you.  Stu has his good days…. And his bad.

[Spud2nique]

All I’m saying is, you can’t force a person to believe that you are an insider no matter what you do? The end.

[sturt]

Oh. Okay.

@Sothron never mind. It was a "solo journey." It's all good now.

Actually, that's not all you said. But it's at least reassuring that you're walking back from having not walked back when you should have walked back... or better, not even proposed the idea that made walking back necessary. Indicates there's some scruples somewhere in there, and maybe it's just the weather affecting mood.

 

Edit: Just archiving because it seems like it needs archiving under the circumstances...

 

[HawksNWaffles]

......ummmm....I'll just see myself back out now.

Nope. Never called you a liar. You are a friend. I just don’t …

I sent you a PM about this. I'm not going to have a public back and forth like this with anyone let alone one of my oldest friends on this website.

Thank you to @Wretchand @sturt and @JayBirdHawk for defending me and/or reaching out to me in private. I am a week out from losing my father in law and trying to help Mrs. Sothron deal with her grief as well as my own. I don't need any extra crap. If someone on here doesn't believe I have sources despite years and I mean years of being proven right by what I say then hey, that's fine, don't believe. That's your right. Don't call me a liar in public. That's not much to ask. 

As @Wretchso nicely said (thanks again) I am a pretty nice guy IRL. There's not much that offends me but calling me a liar is one of them. I don't get money off anything I post here. Neither does @NBASupesor @thecampsterwherever he's at now. I don't get "internet clout". I don't have a blog. I don't have a podcast. I don't have a social media following. I'm just a fat dude in his forties that has slimmed down some and loves this miserable franchise far more that it deserves to be loved. 

If you have a problem with me please talk to me in private. There's nothing lamer than internet back and forth and it frankly makes everyone involved lesser for it.

I thought our GM is Landry Fields. Nick  is Director of Basketball and Business Operations.

I don’t believe Nick has autonomy over all decisions, even after this article. It’s still Landry building the team. Nick and others have input and opinions. But the GM is the one pulling the trigger. Seems like Landry’s vision was more line with and potentially influenced by Nick’s (and subsequently Trae) but he wasn’t told what to do by anyone other than BIG Ressler instructing him to stay under the cap. 

The Resslers are business people, Nicks title is Business Operations. I’m not losing sleep worried about him trying to build our roster. He is just another voice in the room.
