PDA bashers trot out the expression "straw man argument" a lot.
Is this one?:
A) PDA has ruined the franchise and does not know what he is doing. I will burn myself with gasoline. Signing Landry is a franchise destroying move, the type that will haunt the team for decades. PDA is a stat nerd who is in over his head. There is a great deal to be worried about. He talks defense then goes out and hires Landry, destroying our path forward with napalm. This front office has destroyed in an hour what it took Petrie and the Maloofs 15 years to build. Losing Reke, pulling the Igoudala offer, accepting Grievis in the S&T, and signing Landry are all horrible moves. Not only does PDA not know the league, he does not know this team.
B) You guys are reacting crazy. Nothing has had time to develop. Reke is not as precious as Pelicans think - Iggy was not coming anyway - Grievis is better than nothing in return for Evans - Landry is a good locker room guy, a productive offensive player, a smart guy, and a known commodity as far as Coach Malone is concerned. It is insane to call for PDA's head on the basis of one week's work and a partially executed plan. He's almost certainly not done. Perhaps this is prelude to a trade for a Granger type and/or quality backup Center. You're missing the big picture and overreacting. You're lacking perspective, after all we almost lost the team to Seattle. Constant bashing every time PDA exhales is not fun why do you persist in the hysterics?
C) Oh, so nobody may ever criticize a PDA move? That is what message boards are for. You are saying that because Vivek saved the team, PDA may never be criticized for any moves he makes. That is illogical so you are crazy. You won't tolerate any critique of the GM and I'm not a sycophant so eff you.
