Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[hakeemfaan]

Well said. 

I only know of one poster here who might be "in favor of the trade" - someone whose opinions and posting character I have held in very high regard in the past, although I'm a little worried about him with that take... I've noted some others who had issues with Luka who are thus less angry with the trade than most (e.g. RT), but most of them recognize that the trade was a disaster.

In the end, though, it's really the contrast between the venting that some continue to need (including trolls who hammer it... and hammer it... and hammer it... as if the rest of us didn't know it was a bad trade - by the way, the specific troll you're talking about liked your post, which I think is pretty funny), and those of us who are a little more stoic - "Let's just discuss the team as it is now and moving forward, recognizing that things are pretty bleak, but without constantly referencing the atrocity that took place last month." I'm in the latter camp, of course. 

I'm not necessarily in favor of segregating. My version of what you're saying is that, as a member of the latter group, I'm willing to tolerate in other parts of the board the posts of the folks in the former group, whose pain is extremely understandable, as long as they also tolerate those of us who, in their view, have moved on "prematurely." All of us are entitled to our opinions and our approaches to fandom. Except the one troll. It would be great if the mods got rid of him, or at least if, as you say, folks would stop feeding him.

I don’t agree with this at all. 

I checked the front page and 99% of the threads on this board have very little activity. Why are you or Dan not filling it up with more “intelligent” talk on the path forward with Nico still at the helm. Who is “hammering “ negativity over and over on any of those threads?  

I feel it mighty strange that folks who want to move on are not contributing to other threads but sone how gravitate back to this thread.  At some point the mods will kill this thread as well. 

Dan is correct. This place is becoming an echo chamber. However it is not in the way he wants to characterize.
