Who's to say what Bubu or Naz Long could do against crappy competition night after night? That's all I'm saying. Maybe Kane is an upgrade, but maybe he isn't. What if he's not as good a teammate as Bubu or Naz Long are?

The thing is, none of us know if we are just adding Kane, or if we are going to be losing someone else. What if SDW isn't coming back for instance? He's never even played in a game that counted yet, but I'd MUCH rather have him over Kane if those are my choices.

That post you just replied to didn't have anything to do with you, Bubu or Naz. Once you get in defensive mode you don't listen and only see what you expect to see.

Did you really just compare Naz Long and Bubu Palo to Jeff Hornacek and John Stockton?

No. Can you read? All I said is that dunking has NOTHING to do with someone being a good basketball player.

But go ahead and read into it what you want to. Most people do. Unreal.

That's like saying hitting home runs has nothing to do with being a good baseball player. Obviously you don't need to be able to dunk/hit homeruns, but if you can, it makes you a hell of a lot better.

Wow... you really don't understand basketball at all, do you? I was kinda half kidding when I said that earlier, because I figured you did understand basketball. Guess I was wrong about that.

LOL this is what you resort to when you know your argument sucks. You say I don't understand basketball. Okay.

You keep saying that but then you are the one that has views about basketball that 95% of the board disagrees with.

Fred is bringing in Kane even though he has Palo, SDW and/or Long. And I've always suspected Fred doesn't know a thing about basketball.

Yeah, because a dunk is like hitting a homerun. Whatever. That is one horrible analogy. But I guess you don't think so. What can I do to change your mind? Nothing. So why bother. If you can't see the difference between dunking and hitting homeruns, I can't do anything for you.

Okay, so it wasn't one of my finer comparisons... But you're just ignorant if you've watched his dunks and still don't see a player with more talent than Bubu or Naz.

Fred doesn't know as much as clonedude.

Where have I said that? Show me.

Bringing in Kane is good no matter what the situation is. If we aren't losing anyone else, it's awesome. And if we are losing someone else, it's still a good thing, because it helps to fill that void.

I just can't tell you if it's an upgrade or not over what we had before he came if I don't know if we're losing someone else? It could be a wash. Heck, it could be a downgrade if we're trading out an Ejim or Niang for a Kane. Nobody knows. That is ALL I'm saying.

Whether or not we are losing someone else is HUGE in this equation. So that question needs to be asked. I don't care if you work for the Des Moines Register, the CR Gazette, or Cyclone Fanatic. It is a HUGE question.

I'm pretty sure of who's leaving, but this meltdown of yours will make me let you keep guessing.

Since we're not losing Fred, we're going to be very good.

If Fred becomes a staff faculty professor, we could be in trouble.

If Fred became a staff faculty professor would his kids get free tuition? If so, he might consider it.

You're still equating basketball talent with the ability to dunk. There is no comparison there. I'm sorry. If you want to say he's a better athlete than Bubu, then okay. But dunking doesn't mean you have any basketball talent at all.

Usain Bolt can probably dunk. And guess what... he's really fast too. So he must be a good basketball player, right?

ARE YOU BLINDLY FORGETTING THE FACT THAT HE AVERAGES 15 PPG AND 7 APG? I bet he scores all of those 15 points just with dunks. And I bet he dunks to get his assist totals to 7 a night. HERP DERP. Burbur Palorrr equals John Stockternnnn.
