2C or not 2C?

[Kojo]

Sure, you presented a case for why it wasn't a good idea (I'd agree), but then said in the end you'd be okay with giving up Beck + 40th overall for Rossi (I wouldn't agree).

There's no missing context there.

To be blunt, it's patently nonsensical to go on such a rant about how Dach plays like he's 5'9 while simultaneously saying you'd trade Beck + 40th overall for an actual 5'9 C.

Maybe Dach pans out and you're wrong, maybe he won't and you're right. But either way, if the issue with Dach is the fact he plays like he's 5'9 (your words), bringing in an actual 5'9 C doesn't make much sense, does it?

Rossi plays like he 6'2 but yeah.

The flaw in your logic is that it wasn’t me who suggested trading for Rossi - I was responding to someone else who did.

I then explicitly stated why I’d be against it, and why I don’t think it would be a good idea, but acknowledged that I’d be okay with giving him a chance if it happened, as long as he could be had for cheap.

Beck and a 2nd isn’t a high price for a 23 year old C who just put up 60 points, regardless of whether he’s 5’9” or not. It’s moot anyway because MIN would never give him up for that.

There’s the missing context. I hope you learned something for next time.

Lol okay I gotcha.

Rossi plays like he's 6'2 but is 5'9. Dach plays like he's 5'9 but is 6'4.

What a world we live in.

I won't keep going back and forth, but you absolutely endorsed that trade. Trying to back peddle now is silly but I'm at least glad you see how those two opinions contradict.

Your original rant about Dach was just emotional dribble, that's the truth and why you got called out.

Emotional or factual? What did I say that isn’t true? Seems like you’re the one getting emotional.

And pointing out that it wasn’t me who suggested the Rossi trade when your were claiming I did is back pedalling?

Again, you don’t understand context or nuance. You do realize that taking quotes out of context is a common logical fallacy used by people who are aren’t arguing in good faith, right?

Try not to be so transparent next time if you insist on being intellectually dishonest. That, or argue with someone who you can fool with these kind of rudimentary tactics.
