Vlade says DMC will NOT be traded this year

And it goes around and around and around one more time. This statement is bull crap. Are you serious when you say criticism of Cousins is not allowed? There is criticism every day. Your perception cannot be changed but this is an absurdity and you know it.

I think he was trying to add a little humor and forgot to add a smiley face. Too much anger on this forum. People can't wait to jump on other people. Peace be with you my brothers. I'm off to take a Valium. .

One could argue that Howard hasn't done anything since he left Orlando. I think Id rather have their current center, Vucevic, than Howard. I don't think trading Howard is the root of why Orlando isn't better. I'm not advocating that we trade Cousins, I just don't think Orlando is a perfect example.

I don't think it's the perfect example, but I do think it's relevant.

Howard has been in the spotlight big time ever since leaving the Magic. The perception people have of him has taken a complete 180. Some of the criticism has been justified and some of it has been over the top. There is a chance that this had something to do with the big drop production over the years. Check out Howard's recent interview/intervention on TNT. The guy clearly cares what people think of him. Some guys are just not cut out for the bigger markets and the pressure that comes with it.

Maybe things could have gone differently for Dwight had he stayed in the smaller market of Orlando.

He said things like this several times yesterday and I became concerned about his health to the point I wrote a PM. It didn't sound like what I had become to expect from him. He confirmed that he meant what he wrote. He was not trying to be funny. I think I had a right to respond the way I did.

Didn't question your rights amigo. I'm suggesting that people need to lighten up a bit. Things are looking up, so lets all try and be positive. There is no inflection in the written word, so it's possible to misunderstand the true meaning at times. You checked it out through a PM, which is the way we should do it. For me personally, I had two choices. Either he mean't what he said, or he was joking. I chose to go with joking because frankly, I din't care either way. It's just his opinion. I don't feel the need to comment on everyone's opinion that's different than mine. Unless they attack me personally, I really don't care. Everyone's opinion is free. And therefore has no real worth, just like this opinion.

I don't have a clue what you are trying to say. You stuck your nose into a conversation not knowing the full facts. You made a judgment and let fly. I didn't like it.
