This whole argument started because Canadian said Landry Fields was a good signing.

I fail to see how giving Landry Fields that contract was a good signing. And you guys have yet to really say why giving him that contract was a good acquisition, except for the fact that he played good his rookie year two years ago and you hope one day he'll return to that level. And that doesn't make it a good signing.

Ok, then I heard they could've been called THE BRASS.

New Orleans Brass is badass. WTF were they thinking? (yes i'm aware the pelican is the state bird etc.)

It'll just take some getting used to. There's a lot of dumb team names in the NBA.

oh and once again, he wasn't signed to live up to that contract, so I don't see what's really left to be determined. People were going to determine if the signing was worth it in the summer depending on whether or not they got Nash because of it, they didn't and now it's considered a bad signing.

I'm rooting for the Raptors though, I enjoy them and their fans aren't really all that bad(except you, you're awful) and deserve some success. Although these recent transactions make it all but a pipedream of them getting WIGGINS next year...

I'm the best fan this team has.

That was speculated highly yes. It doesn't mean anything though if he improves and helps the team win basketball games.

I'm pretty sure if anything has been learned in the last number of years in this thread it is that Canadian's posts should be skipped and ignored.

we should stop picking on him though, I don't think everyone BULLYING the one kid is fair even if his teams are ridiculous. At the end of day it doesn't really matter, even if it is at times annoying. The only reason I actually find multiple teams frustrating is because it makes it impossible form a real connection with your team if you have multiple teams you root for as usually one of them will be good or on the cusp of being good and you never go through those down teams when you really form a connection with the team.

or maybe that's just me. im just a BANDWAGONER anyways.

also I hope everyone on the Lakers leaves/retires next year and we get WIGGINS. he would be worth more than everyone on the team besides Kobe who is retiring next year anyways(WILL BE A TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE DAY).

Honestly I don't understand why you guys feel the need to constantly pick on me because I like more than one team, sorry is that a federal fucking crime? It's unnecessary, you're all probably older and much more knowledgeable about basketball than me, so wtf do you want honestly.

I never said fken Landry was worth the contract, I said he was a good addition, not that he's worth $20 million dollars. He has experience and defense to offer to the team, he's complete shit on offence atm.

And for whatever idiot called me out on Lucas, look who's stepped his game up now that Jose is gone.

**Notorious** · 01-30-2013, 08:43 PM

I really don't care about who you're a fan of to be quite honest.

The way I interpret it is that you're a Raptors/Warriors fan, but are a big fan of certain players like Blake Griffin & LeBron so you cheer for their teams. You can cheer for as many teams as you want, I really don't care.

But Landry Fields is still shit.

I wouldn't have a problem with it at all if you didn't say "we" for every single one of them. Saying "we" implies a die hard love for a team that through thick and thin holds true. You can not have this for 3, 4, 13, whatever teams. You just can't. It goes against everything I believe in as a sports fan and when I see it it irks me. I will forever say we for only 4 teams (Leafs, Blue Jays, Raptors, Steelers). Those are my 4 teams through thick and thin for the rest of my life and I would never and more importantly could never say we for any other team. There's a code yo. If you want to casually like half the teams in the league stop saying 'we' because you don't deserve to use the word.

hey Brandon, remember the time I said Vucevic was going to be good. No, well it doesn't matter because I do.
