Mr.Bottomtooth

08-13-2006, 01:13 AM

Wade through a pass between two Lithuanians to Carmelo and he layed it up and then a Lithuanian guy tried to pass it between his legs and turned it over for a Melo dunk! :lmao And then he got pulled out of the game.

The most impressive is fouling out in 7 minutes (Assists are PF in fact in the boxscore). One personal foul per 80 second is a great performance. :)

Actually the one I framed was the one where you called the Spurs management cheap for signing Jackie Butler instead of giving Javtokas the full MLE.

Care to admit that you were wrong on this one, or are you changing your tune to the fact that they should have given him the MLE because he's a tall white guy with tattoos.

Mr. Body

Actually the one I framed was the one where you called the Spurs management cheap for signing Jackie Butler instead of giving Javtokas the full MLE.

Care to admit that you were wrong on this one, or are you changing your tune to the fact that they should have given him the MLE because he's a tall white guy with tattoos.

The whole discussion took place when the Spurs were taking a big risk in signing two RFAs to contracts, with no obvious back-up plans. One of my prime points was that they muffed the Javtokas deal by not getting him to possibly wait until one or the other dropped out and/or for not going for the sure thing and giving him a little more money when they risked ending up with absolutely no centers at all. Money I think they were prepared to pay for him (and certainly not the MLE).

As I said then, if we got Butler and Elson, all points were moot, and thank God they got both players, but the Spurs were for a week on the edge -- it could have been disastrous.

Even then, I maintained it might still have been better to go for Javtokas instead of Elson, although I've come to appreciate that signing more.

This discussion was miraculously turned by you into my advocating giving Javtokas the MLE, when I said nothing of the sort. My highest suggestion was they may have wished to earmark Butler's money for Javtokas if they failed to sign him (but Javtokas couldn't wait). You repeated this 'for the MLE' false assertion ad nauseum for the last two months, even in threads where this player didn't even come up. I think your identity depended on your 'winning' this staw man argument and I think it still strongly depends on it. I'm pretty sure you're a moron, which means something like a 40-50 IQ. You are a pathetic individual and are easily one of the stupidest members of this forum. If anything, you're a first class prevaricator. So, congratulations on that one, I guess.

Another point you lie about... I've always been high on Butler.

Aggie Hoopsfan

08-20-2006, 03:42 PM

Moron? I'm not the one who was screaming for the Spurs to give anywhere over the LLE to a guy who fouled out in 7 minutes and didn't score a point against Greece. The first sign people have lost an argument is when they resort to weak name calling. IQ of 40-50? Yeah, that's it, I'm lucky to figure out how to turn the power on the computer every day. I'm sorry I'm not down on my knees sucking Javtokas off every day like you, if anything I'd say that qualifies as genius level IQ.

One of my prime points was that they muffed the Javtokas deal by not getting him to possibly wait until one or the other dropped out and/or for not going for the sure thing and giving him a little more money when they risked ending up with absolutely no centers at all.

Yes, and the point the rest of us made was that his agent tried to play hardball by telling the Spurs if they didn't give his player x amount of dollars, he was going back to Europe.

The Spurs called his bluff, and he was stuck - either sign the LLE deal or wimper his way back to Europe.

As to the whole point you try and make about what they should have offered, you said they should have offered him more than they offered Elson. There isn't very much wiggle room between that figure and the full MLE, and you did say at one point you thought we should have gone up to the MLE if necessary to make sure we had him signed.

You can't back track on this one now. You were wrong then, and you still won't admit defeat on it. Hell of a performance your boy put up against Greece.
