So, some posters are using the excitement of the trade to laugh at cyberx, for saying we are going after Chandler. Well, cyberx actually posted about Lou today in his existing Nick Young thread No exact mention of Houston for Lou, but confirms we were talking to the Lakers nonetheless. Click the red arrow in the quote to thank him with a Like, if you want I'm sure you can't always know all details exactly, but he got we were talking to the Lakers and he got the 1st round pick asking price for Lou. He repeated later it was a must for Williams but not necessarily for Young. Btw: notice I didn't call this an Appreciatiom Thread. That's for last thank yous when ppl leave
I think it's a stretch to say he "called the trade". I mean there has been talk for weeks about the Lakers trading players like Williams and Young. He didn't even say the Rockets were interested in Williams. Whatever, I'm happy with the trade.
Waiting for _holic to chime in saying he already told us this would happen and it was all there in his posts. We just had to read between the lines
Only people who don't like Cyber are wannabe fake insiders! They will deny being so when they read this post and are subsequently mad!
Not knocking Cyber here, but how exactly is him saying we are interested in Nick Young him calling a Lou Williams trade?
I would say just providing info that Williams is on the market is pretty solid info. Basically told clutchfans that Lou Williams is gonna get traded and for what price.
Lots of people have said that. Should we start a thread for all of them thanking them for calling the trade?
yeah thats a reach I don't think many were denying his Chandler claim. Saying he basically called something like this is a far reach. You don't have to credit him just cuz you don't discredit him. This thread is actually hurting his case hahaha...not that he should care.
and I could say, how exactly is him reporting interest in Chandler missing this trade, like some are saying. He reported we were talking to the Lakers and reported what Lakers wanted for Lou, all in the same post today. In a week he must be getting a flurry of info, it's enough for me he chose to emphasize that today. Oh right, you have to be first to get credit. Got it. You can't be an insider who chooses to reemphacize the rockets are talking to the Lakers literally hours before the trade goes down at the price stated. This is the thread where anyone here can also report they called it, with their posts. They don't have a separate thread because no one said they missed it merely because they also reported interest in Chandler, like what is happening to cyberx. Besides, pulling the debate out of the trade thread is where it belongs, imo. So there.
Wut. "Rockets are a potential suitor for Nick Young" ≠ "Rockets are looking to trade for Lou Williams" I expect these kind of mental gymnastics in the D&D but not here. Still, all the love to cyber. But... no. No.
Off the damn chains. We all knew the Rockets were in talks with several teams. Yes I laughed because it was funny to me. Cyber hits the mark some times and he misses too. But we're starting a thread because you are deep into your feelings is very comical.
