What Would You Rank My Trade? From 1-10?

[Keetch]

To answer your question, Superman, yes, I'd rank it from 1-10. Now, how would would rank Nietzche's discussion of the "ubermensch" in Thus Spake Zorathustra? Is it just a bunch of prattle from a diseased mind, or does it speak to the real possibility of a new, improved humanity?

Confirmed and newsworthy.

Signs of intelligent life have been discovered on the planet Bobcats.

LOL! I love dnbman's idea to counter stupid theoretical "trade" threads with actual intelligent discussion, however tongue in cheek I'm going with it!

To further consider your esteemed argument I'd consider taking on Nietzche's prattle, but only if he threw in an unprotected 1st Round digression.

You guys are hysterical! Keep it up

Zorathustra was divergent from many of Nietzche's earlier works, which would tend to suggest that it was addled by his diseased mind. Humanity would in fact fail to exist any longer, as this "superman race" took over earth. Humans would become the new apes. Had Nietzche lived some fifty years later, espousing these things would have been far less likely.

To turn the discussion to basketball, the argument against this willed "social darwinism" would be Lebron James. Had this social engineering occurred in the 1950s, George Mikan would've been the most desirable candidate. The 60s would've rendered an army of Wilts and Russells. This would've robbed basketball of Dr. J, MJ, and most recently Lebron. From decade to decade it's virtually impossible to conceive what the next great will look like. In the era when Jordan was dominating, it would have been preposterous to tell your friends, "Imagine a guy three inches taller, fifty pounds heavier, that can jump just as high and run just as fast." Evolution is far more powerful than imagination in terms of the limitations of human beings.

Without doubt Lebron would've been able to beat Nietzche's Ubermenschlich man one-on-one.

If the Bobcats trade Wallace for Curry, they become part of the ebb of the great flood, but the Cavs would be taking steps to becoming uber.

It gets all four teams what they want

Bobcats Get Curry, who they wanted last month, plus a Late first round Pick!!
Knicks Get more Cap space, exactly what they want!!!
Clippers Get a SG who they really need!!!
Cleveland Gets a big who can score off the bench!!!

1. We don't need another lazy big who can't rebound

Put Kaman on our team and the trade gets a 7 just because if would be a shame for Wallace to go. He does so many good things.
