Acceptable Trade?

You’re making the assumption that I was criticizing you rather than enumerating why I disagreed with it and why it’s not a smart move that either team would do.
1.) Yea, we add 4 years, 20 million dollars a year to the payroll. No one knows how the new CBA will pan out but I can guarantee you there’s not a GM in the league pants on head retarded enough to say that’s a great deal and worth taking on 80 million dollars hanging on a contract to shuffle a large expiring deal around.
2.) There’s me knowing my numbers then there’s me giving two shits to check yours. I didn’t make the proposal, you did. All I said was on the surface I’m not sure if it works due to a gap of about 3-4 million annually in what Arenas makes as opposed to Yao and I’m pretty sure JT is significantly lower in pay grade than JaVale.
3.) Arenas is not playing well because he’s a man who has knees that have been operated on extensively over the last two years. You don’t live in DC and you don’t watch him. The guy when he is on the court is aloof and passing up shots he used to take. He’s nowhere near as aggressive as he used to be, and funny enough, Washington still loves him and Ted Leonsis likes him.
4.) Did I say McGee was the future over wall or did I say that it’s a trio of players that is their future? Read the entire statement before you shoot from the hip and make yourself look like an ass.
5.) Again, revenues and sponsorship deals the Rockets get for their relation to Yao Ming virtually precludes him from a trade. Your inability to appreciate it means you are incapable of fully fathoming how much of his value is tied in to marketing and the likes.

Also, checking out your later comments, I think you need to lay off the glue you’re huffing. Just because Arenas was suspended for having a gun in the locker room (With hand guns banned in DC) doesn’t mean the issue was solely that. He did violate the law but it’s the fact that he drew a fire-arm on a team mate that was the problem. By your logic the people of Texas love them some hostile stand offs with potential assault with a deadly weapon too, eh? If someone were to walk up to you, draw a gun and wave it at your chest you’d be 100% fine and not appalled or disgusted whatsoever, right? And again, the city of DC actually cheers for Arenas when he’s on the court. They have a soft spot for the man.

Reading that little rant just gave me an impression of a person desperately swinging around trying to hit whatever’s nearby so he has some justification for his approach (The Vick comment especially). I’m going to rest easy knowing that the only way Martin is shipped out is if we say “F*ck this plan.” And go right in to rebuilding mode. He’s too consistent and in partnership with Scola he’s all this team really has pulling the line until Aaron and Yao get back.
