    I would feel really bad for Trob if we traded him. The dude is clearly ecstatic being here, and it's probably nice to finally have some structure after what has been a crazy few years for him.

    Besides the energy he brigs IS ripcity...

    I think he's going to have a big summer league.

    And hopefully a bigger second season as a blazer. Hell, might as well consider this his 2nd year...barely got any run in Houston and Sacramento isn't necessarily the best place to learn about the NBA

    I've noticed several players mimmicking LaMarcus but Allen Crabbe gets the prize..probably 50 "you knows" in his interview. Maybe it's like a secret handshake or something they've got going on?

    It used to be "uh definitely," but LA changed the culture of the organization.

    Will Barton has gone the opposite direction. As a rookie he started out with lots of "y'no what aim sayin" and I haven't heard that from him in a long time

    Neil Olshey seems to lean on starting every sentence with "look"

    I've noticed a lot of upcoming stars saying "you knows". In fact, some one started a thread about wiggins using it.

    Perhaps it's just becoming common, and LA was just pre hipster you know.

    Maybe it was Langston Hughes from the early 1900's. That guy added more words to the language than any hipster in history

    HA! I miss Nate starting every interview answer with "again". I swear half the time he truly wasn't repeating something he'd already said. Guess it's his alternative to "uh".

    I think TRob is going to explode this year. I expect him to play stronger, smarter, and with confidence.

    TRob and Kaman alone are going to greatly improve our bench. I expect Will and CJ to be better too. Although, if Mo is back, we may not get to see it much.

    Man, I wonder what pre-hipsters started sentences with.
