Trae Waynes wasn’t a top free agent. And why are you only going back two years when there are 30 years?
Quote:2. Impossible to debate with someone who moves the goalposts every time they get proven wrong. Your back peddling as hard as you can from "NEVER signed a top free agent" to talking about "history".
Lol citing history to make a claim is not backpedaling.

Lol what does this even mean? Since time is always moving forward, history is always changing. Are you implying Mike Brown should get the same benefit of the doubt as all other GMs given “history doesn’t mean anything?”
Quote:For years I heard fans cry about how Mike Brown would NEVER use a first round pick on a TE. Then he did it twice in 4 years. Then Mike Brown would NEVER use a first round pick on an interior offensive lineman but now he has done it twice in the last decade.
Earlier, you incorrectly used the terms “moving the goal posts” and “back peddling” to describe me. Funny enough, talking about drafting tight ends and interior lineman when discussing free agency is the definition of “moving the goal posts” and “back peddling”
Quote:You were 100% wrong about Mike Brown never spending big money to keep his own players
When did I say that? Believe this would be called “putting words in my mouth”.
Quote: or even sign top players from other teams. I proved it.
He signed one (to meet cap floors outlined in CBA). Not sure how one free agent out of hundreds over the last 30 years constitutes proof. Reminds me of that scene from Dumb and Dumber when Jim Carey is told he has a one and a million chance to go on a date with the girl and he responds “so you’re telling me there’s a chance!”
