    Funny that arm tellems team is the one absorbing these contracts. I'm sure that's not a coincidence.

    So both SA and PHX have gut their caps just to sign LA.

    No matter where he goes, he's gonna hurt a team in the west really badly.

    Would be an absolute boss move if he comes back to POR and leaves SA without Splitter, and PHX without a Morris twin.

    I do. A lot of us do. You certainly don't have to care. Just like we're allowed to care. So get off that high horse.

    The Suns traded garbage. And the Spurs will be fine either way.

    That would mean he was jealous of Dame more than winning

    True.

    But aren't you (a general term here)on a high horse for caring and sharing that opinion, as well? Wouldn't that make us both on high horses? I mean, I have to endure hearing it as well. So.... if I get off the high horse, will you? Because, if not, then how fair is that?

    :)

    People who want someone to get off their high horse are usually horse thieves

    Yep. LMA is coming back. Trades will happen. Just because we acquired them doesn't mean they are on the roster in October. It's only July 2nd for crying out loud. lol.

    I don't think we would take this package for LMA. Not without some great picks at least.

    Fuck that isn't that bad

    Tucker is tough as nails at the 2 spot and Markieff is a pretty decent player as a starter. Can shoot and defend a little bit.
