I find it funny that so many people who support the trade for Chad are so dismissive of anyone who opposes the trade. Instead of addressing the argument on the merits, those people make silly statements like, "ohh you're just ranting." It's akin to saying, "if you disagree with me, you are an idiot as I KNOW the future and determine objective truth." Kinda narcissistic view.

Yes, most people have made very good arguments against a CJ trade b/c of cap issues, using our draft picks, and addressing other areas of need. But some people just don't like the guy and complain that he just wants money, he's going to be a locker room cancer, that he's a horrible person, etc., etc.

And honestly, I was trying to make the point with my post that I don't think arguing against a player that "wants more money" is a valid argument, since both the player and team never honor their contracts and both are always looking for more money.
