Anyone who reads this thread can figure out that you were wrong Chuck. Just admit it. No big deal. We are all wrong at times. Instead, you are some how saying that I am wrong when I told you clearly in the thread Bosh and Wade would be in Miami.

And?


You told everyone that my hypothesis of Chicago opening up cap space and getting Wade and Bosh wouldnt happen because "teams arent built that way". Yet when they did exactly that but came up short because Wade needs to stay in Miami and Bosh decides to join him rather than go to Cleveland you all of a sudden were right?

LOL. LOL. LOL. and if wade wanted to be in chicago for the same money, they couldnt have worked a sign and trade? Bosh gets the same money either way.

Seriously, you are bigger than this.

I know. It's not that big of a deal but he won't admit defeat.

No I didnt! LOL!! I never said that they would be in Chicago! I said that I doubted it would happen at least twice. You see I was only bringing up the possibility of it happening (when the Bulls were on noones radar) and what the upside of it would be when you went on a tangent and said that "teams arent built that way". The only thing I was arguing with you was that they would be a good team and you insisted that they wouldnt.

Funny how what I said would happen, did and that Chicago DID make a big pitch for those two and yet somehow in your imaginary world I am wrong.

I wasn't right on making a prediction because I never made one.

Uh no state Income tax in FL?

And if the Bulls did a sign and trade then wouldnt they be trading away the big reason to sign with them? I doubt Miami would have been happy taking James Johnson and Chicagos #1 for Wade.

Seriously you are calling me out for a prediction that I never made. I would have thought i would have gotten a little credit for having the foresight of seeing the Bulls as players this summer back in Feb when virtually no one else had them doing anything.

Please point out the post in which I am wrong? Unlike Gales who can see into the future I have had thoughts that occasionaly didnt turnout exactly as they did. But I fail to see when I ever said that Wade and Bosh were going to the Bulls and there are several posts like #95 when i said that is was probably not going to happen.

So Wade, Rose, Deng, Bosh and Noah wouldnt be a tough line up with Gibson and Slamons and the mid level exception player off the bench? You like Wade, Chalmers, Beasley, Bosh and player to be named later better?
Okay....

[quote=dalakhani;614647]Im not. I just have an idea on how teams are made. Some don't. Its not about throwing a bunch of guys together and seeing if they can play together. Guys have to get their shots. There has to be players to do different roles. You can't say "derrick Rose is the point guard and i dont see a problem with that". That is an ignorant statement. You are asking a guy that has never distributed the ball in his life, never played second fiddle in his life and never had to spot up in his life to suddenly have to do these things and expect it to work simply because he is talented. Basketball doesnt work that way.

Would they be good? Sure they would be good. Wade and Bosh would be good with anyone around them. At the same time, in order to seriously contend, you would need a guy to get them their shots and hit an open three.

Anyway, it is silly to argue. I think Wade and Bosh end up together and I would agree that Chicago has a shot (isnt it wade's hometown?) but no more so than New York or Miami and I think Miami would be the favorite. What is your opinion?[/QUOTE]

And you were saying?

You asked where else. I said Chicago and pointed out how it could be done. Hope i am never on trial with you on the jury if this is proof I made a proclamation.

Did you miss the question mark? That was in response to a question. You are copy and pasting crap together because I never once said i thought they were going to Chicago.

Again point out where I said they would go to Chicago

So you were right in taking the path that everyone at that point thought they would take.

That doesnt make me wrong because I never said where I thought they would wind up. Why is it so hard for you to give up your futile accusations? LOL

You cant find a post where I said that I thought they were going to Chicago because I NEVER SAID IT!!!

LOL

Thomas and Noah are redundant. Thomas will never be a really good player because he thinks he already is.
"I never said it was a likely scenario"

Hello????

Personally I dont think it will happen, too many things have to occur and i would love to see the Knicks sign a real player and be semi relevant again. But sadly I dont think they will get Wade or LeBron.
OoooHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!

Salmons can certainly shoot the three as evidenced by his 41% last year and Deng doesnt take a lot of them but is also over 40% this year, they would have two of the NBA's best rebounders (Noah and Bosh) as well.

A blank slate doesnt means that you can get the right pieces around them. Currently Miami has a slightly below average PG and an enigma signed through next year. The idea that they can fill out the roster with players that would be of the quality of Chicagos with the limited money they would have is a longshot. And that is if you believe you can be a championship calibur team with Mario Chalmers at the point and Micheal Beasley playing 35 minutes at whatever position that it is that he plays.
And?

dalakhani 07-08-2010 12:59 PM
Chuck, its okay to be wrong. Its okay if someone else is right. You don't have to constantly make excuses. This "diverting" is not becoming of you. It is small and you are a big guy.:)

LOL

Diverting? Please show me where I said Wade and Bosh were going to Chicago?

Oh you can't because I didn't.

I mean this is ridiculous on your behalf. There are 170 or so posts and you cant post one where I said that I thought they would go to Chicago. When I posted two where I said i didn't think it would happen you conveniently ignore them and then post where I point out the truth (that Chicago's current roster is stronger than Miami's-which is still true) you actually believe that this "proves" your point?

Yeah you were right in Feb saying that Wade and Bosh were going to Miami which was pretty much what everyone else was saying at that point. That doesnt make me wrong because again I didn't say where I THOUGHT they would go, just the possibility that Chicago could become an option. Which by the way it did. In case you forget or simply overlooked it I didn't take your terribly one sided bet back in Feb.

Bosh had nothing to do with this question.

Chuck, its okay to be wrong about something or to give someone else credit. It shows humility.

Its not an indictment on your character or your knowledge of sports or politics to admit that someone else has a better grasp of a situation than you do.

I still respect you Chuck even if you were wrong about this or anything else we disagree about. I still think you are a knowledgable and intelligent man and I will always be a fan of you.

I regret bringing this topic back up and rubbing it in. I apologize.

Post where I said Bosh and Wade were going to Chicago. Go ahead. You are looking very Riot-like. I never once said that they were going to Chicago. Not once.

Only an ass would try to rub in something that never occurred.

Only a narcissist would post a bet that was turned down as though you had actually won

Oh Chuck...your poor little ego. It doesnt mean that much to me. As i said, I regret bringing this back up. You are obviously getting angry and my intent was never to make you angry. As I said, I am a fan of yours.

Its only basketball Chuck. The thread is up and nothing has been changed or altered. It speaks for itself.

Again, sorry for rubbing it in. It wasn't very nice.:wf

Angry? Hardly. Just wondering why you insist on saying I was 'wrong' when I clearly never made a prediction AND turned down your inane offer of a wager.

Hell you post the wager as though I had lost in some sort of bizzaro, "look how smart I am" redboard.

Interesting that you needed to say that I was wrong as opposed to just saying you were right. I guess the victory lap wasn't enough.
