While I do agree that nothing was ever "proved" per se, I'm not sure anyone is ever going to change their opinions about Demar based on the debates that happen here and the way people choose to go about them. On both sides.Last edited by Joey; Mon May 25, 2015, 04:22 PM.

So in close, since neither side is making ground, do you want us to shut down this thread?
As for the DOD reference, I reserve the right to use that for any poster who uses "2014 all star", "team USA" or "player of the month" as the sole basis of their argument.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

Some people don't like Lebron. No matter how great you try to tell them he is.
Some people like Demar no matter how terrible you try to tell them he is.
Some people just have opinions based in part on the what they see, and in part on what they feel. Its those feelings that will not change.Last edited by Joey; Mon May 25, 2015, 05:36 PM.

I'm not sure anyone is saying Demar should be #1 Option, or is good enough to be a #1 Superstar or anything like that. I think people are actually closer to an agreement then most would believe, but its closing that final gap that seems to be insurmountable.Last edited by Joey; Mon May 25, 2015, 05:23 PM.

Joey wouldn't dare shut down the Everything DD thread cause then the moderators would all be bored to death. They'd be like Landry Fields on the Raps, you know he's there and he can do stuff, but he's never seen for months on end and the only reason you don't feel bad because you know he goes home to his hot wife.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

To be fair, I'm not sure anyone is using those as the "sole basis" for supporting Demar. They are absolutely bench marks that any player would look to achieve when setting goals for themselves on an Individual basis though, and shouldn't be discounted or discarded. I can't imagine an empty producer, or useless scrub , or whatever we are calling him these days, would be able to achieve all of the above ...

Something like "thinking about giving Demar the max while watching Curry/Harden/Lebron play playoffs basketball makes me sad?"
That should be a pretty good unifying thought

There are those who believe Demar thinks he's a Max Player, but I have no idea what they are basing that off of.

Personally, I think there's a chance the market will determine that Demar's a max player (or very close to it)."Stop eating your sushi."

The only scenario I can see the market determining Demar to be a Max (or near Max) player, is if he actually plays like a Max or near Max player ... in which case, pay the man, no?Last edited by Joey; Mon May 25, 2015, 06:01 PM.
