Quote:This is your statement.  I responded mostly to the closing two statements, highlighted below.

(Emphasis added)

 

While the general conversation focused on trading for Sherman, this statement was broad enough to encompass drafting as well.  Draft picks ARE resources, are they not?

 

That is why I responded the way I did.  First, I clarified I would be opposed to trading for Sherman.  Then I gave supporting statements/examples why building to a team's strength is not necessarily a bad approach.  The examples I cited showed teams that improved by building to strengths.

 

You turned around and put the qualifier about the ages of the players already on the roster...not me.  You made ZERO reference (explicitly or tacitly) of the ages of the players until I responded.  I spoke to team strengths generally and remained consistent, both in my initial response to you and the adjusted response accounting for age.

I never mentioned anything about trading for Sherman. The statement you quoted from me explicitly addresses the fact that we would be bringing in a high priced veteran after bringing in two of the top young talents in the league. That is a complete reference to their ages. No qualifiers added. Maybe you should read what you are arguing against before you try to make an argument.
