    Well it seems as if most of your guys are. Beats the hell out of me why though. I cringe every time he jacks up a three. During this past playoff, he shot 36 of them.
    Hit six. Geez! I do not know how you can like that stubbornness. I don't know why the coach and GM do either.

    Olshey did know. In fact, he MADE it happen by not seriously pursuing Aldridge or any of the players he "lost." His Master Plan is the Clipper one, hatched by that birdbrain Donald Sterling, under whose beak and claw that worm Olshey was raised. We will wait 20 years like Sterling did, with an annual high pick who ditches us when his rookie contract expires.

    While Sly basks in his bloody bannings, remember that the true Satan is Olshey. Sly is a wannabe Olshey, who is a wannabe Sterling, who is a wannabe Bush. This I say unto you. I leave to the student as homework to place Denny into the hierarchy.

    Mike Conley, interesting but I don't see the Grizz trading him.

    Who else? Name names, dammit! The House Committee demands you name names!

    I saw Leonard play and enjoyed the hell out of it. He is the hope on this team and perhaps a new guy or two that I know little of yet.

    Speaking of Leonard, I saw Damian look at him wide open, and then take the shot. Missed it of course. Holy hell, Leonard was shooting like 75% and Damian takes it instead.

    So you think Dame is selfish, or somehow only cares about having big games? Cmon dude.

    LAMARCUS didn't even know what he was doing, how the hell could Olshey have known? So you're saying you would've traded LA before the end of this season, breaking up a great core because you assumed he was going to leave, while having no viable signals that he actually was?

    Lillard had an inconsistent year shooting, but he's still a great shooter who shot 39% the year before. You seem to suggest you want him to stop shooting all together, taking away one of his strengths just because of some struggles at times. Thats ludacris

    No! I would have fixed what ever was causing this team to be so disfunctional. Trading players is not the only part of the GM's job.

    I don't think so. He shot more three point shot than anyone in the NBA and he was not even in the top 20 on makes.
    He has better shooters on the floor with him, I expect him to use them.

    What can I say I've been out of town.

    To not see the insincere trolling here is to be willfully blind.

    Thanks Sly for taking out the garbage, and taking the heat for doing what's right.

    THIS is exactly why I crack on rookies....... they should not be allowed to start threads until they have been here a certain amount of time. This place is back to being the wild wild west FAMS!

    Nope, Curry only passed Damian in attempt during his long PlayOff run.
    And I should have said 3 point shooting percentage instead of makes.

    You assume something was dysfunctional with the team. I disagree. It was LAs personality that drew him elsewhere.
    So once you found out nothing was actually dysfunctional, then what?
    You're acting as if 39% is a bad percentage... is 58% from 2 bad too?
