"We live in a world that has picks and those picks have to be handled by men with balls. Who's gonna do it? You?You, Mike Tanenbaum? Grier has a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for the traded and you curse the front office. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what Grier knows. That these trades, while tragic, probably saves futures. And Grier's existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to many, saves futures. You don't want to pay for picks because deep down in places you don't talk about at BBQs, you want Grier to get those picks, you need Grier to get those picks. We use words like Murray, Tua, Lawrence. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending a future. We need,those words to not be a punchline. Grier has neither the time nor the inclination to explain himself to any poster who rises and sleeps under the benefit of the very trades that he provides, and then questions the manner in which he provides it. He'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way, otherwise, I suggest you pick up a device and reply with nice post. Either way, I give a damn that we are entitled to more picks."
