but dear lord people this is OBVIOUSLY A JOKE! LMAO!

this is vintage “Stinky”

enough seriously to respond.

Trade talk = crack, apparently.

this might be Tom Tom.

It’s impossible not to: Marbury == NOTHING

 and it would be a better return on our guys than Marbury.

Any trade that would bring real talent to the Knicks and would help taking out the garbage has got to be something you would love.

Oh, never mind, forgot that you are a Blazer fan second to being a Knick’s fan. Loyalty to one’s team – I believe in that. Carry on.

aka: Bleighzers.

i would instantly blame you, Darkstar. you are now culpable because of your statement.

but I am too, sick of the Conley talk. has anyone watched him since college? he is a worse shooter than Sergio. and thats not good. right now I wouldnt be surprised if Conley would be our 4th best PG. then again last time we had a short pg that couldnt score we traded him for Roy.

Holla BUSTED!

but it really seems like you have been letting SO much garbage get through lately (not saying that any of my comments or posts couldn’t be classified as such haha). I don’t want you to be a dictator, but as the Blazersedge head of state, couldn’t you at least make some judgement calls and delete stuff just because its crap? I trust your judgement! I mean, we could try to resist and not respond to something like this but…this post has 4 rec’s right now. 4, Dave. There are 39 trade proposals a day. people are quadriple posting the same subjects over and over again. I used to look for threads with a lot of comments in them because I could assume that the content generated a lot of thoughtful discussion. now I assume 3 people are just arguing or cracking jokes. and this is WITH the junk drawer in action. I hate to sound like a crabby old timer but can’t you hire some new nerds to help moderate this with the judgement of solomon and clean this place up so this site can resemble what is used to be even just 9 months ago?

that dude was fast

I’d have dropped Ainge off and replaced him with Drazen Petrovich, but that’s just me.
Pack was a player.

with rec’s = 25 to 50% lack merit….an interesting read to someone could be trash to someone else…..You just have to take a rec’d post or comment with a skeptical eye on it’s merit. (Because most people rec something they agree with, so how much value does that have to someone who disagrees?)…..
    
  For instance, the junk drawer rec’s are usually the same group …..Do they rec it to keep it at the forefront or is it done to just keep the gossip flowing ?
    At any rate, you can tell, early on, what value the rec’s have and any agenda, that will have an interest to you….How many comments get rec’s simply on the great content it contains?…..Some do, but they generally get crowded in with the fanatical(ones) and personal agendas…So the fate of rec’s,falls into the hands of BE readers …You become your own rec filter………
 It’s a good tool, even if it often gets diluted with ego’s and soap box grandstanding

isn’t it clear that we’re all going to revolt if dave keeps up his dictatorial ways?

oh wait, i would wager that most of us agree with dave on this point. dave didn’t call you craptastic, although it’s your choice if you want to read between the lines. however, if you don’t believe there have been crappy posters and content on this site lately, then there’s a good chance you’re a part of that problem.

I foresee some serious spamming on the way to this blog because of dave’s arrogance.

wow… is that a threat? and “dave’s arrogance”? i bet he doesn’t hear that every day. how arrogant of him to want to keep an intelligent level of discourse on his own site.

I like this one, and I like Dave.

Don’t go to a bar and insult the bartender.

Don’t get on a boat and insult the Captain.

Don’t ever come to B-Edge and insult Dave.

non so brillianlty attempt to turn the negative response against us. You are so dumb , everyone , especially Dave knows what you are attempting.

Serious spamming hahahahhhahahahahh is threat? i for one am SHAKING in my boots.

I missed it when Dave (capatalized D, like the PTB clamped on Detroit today) remarked he is the only one who knows NBA and Trail Blazer basketball. Say it isnt so Dave!

I find his use of the word “craptastic” quite poopelicious. Word is Websters is considering it as a new addition to the unabridged Dictionary for 2009.

> anyone who takes sports seriously MUST be disgusted by the sight of a millionaire athlete refusing to play the game he is paid to play.

Many millions of dollars this season.

> English is a colorful language but there are no words colorful enough to express my disgust for marbury.

Bravo, this sentence is what got me to give you the rec.

> the dude is flat out despicable. any team who signs him to a contract is signing its own death warrant.

I liked our point guards in today’s game. – Elgin.

It’s only feeding them if you play their narcissistic little game and take them seriously.

But they can’t eat reflections of their own ignorance and peevishness.

Dave this post is obnoxious. There is very very little support for the idea of a trade for Marbury, I think a lot of people have presumed ideas of what kind of player marbury is, that being said, it is not a good presumption in most corners. At the very least the poster should have tried to clear that up. The only good which has come out of this post, is the idea of creating a “Trading Post” section. (Catman2, maybe others, but they came to my attention.) That would make the trade sludge easier to work through. There is a decent amount of worthless posts, which in my book is fine, it is these types of posts that are just aggravating, and ultimately should not be receiving tens of responses. let alone the almost 200 this one has.

-Create “Trading Post” section, or maybe an area on the site that specifies where trades should be posted at least.
-Trade posts should have a higher minimum amount of words before posting. This will help weed out the BS coming from some people.
