    Good.

    Why'd you quote me though? Olshey just did a prelim offer because 29 other teams did. lol. Just making an offer doesn't mean he didn't want to stay pat. If Indy was really stupid (Like, Khan stupid)... it was probably for Meyers and a 2021 pick.

    We may never know.

    I'd be estatic for the 6th seed this year. We may be able to at least get to the WCF in that seed (if the top 4 shape out to be GSW, Houston, OKC, and whoever else)

    Still not scared of PHX. They are a few years out.

    But if Denver picks up Milsap, things get far tougher in the division than they already are.

    The more that I think about it I hate the Rockets got their slimey hands on Paul. And in a cap friendly, just under-the-line deal to. Hopefully the ball-hog Beard Man and CP3 are at each others throats by the end of the season.

    Crazy talk. We have no one better than Oladipo to offer.

    CRABBE'S contract sucks.
    BUTTERS' contract sucks.
    TURNER'S contract sucks.

    All of which are WAY suckier.

    OKC won't be any better than they was last year even with George as long that Westbrook has the ball in his hand he will take shots away shots from George. Minnesota might be better but again who don't get there shots due to Bulter. So both teams might be better but not by much. We will get better due to Nurk full season and Vonleh plays really good beside him and you might have Collins beside him. You got remember Collins is a rim proctor too and if you getting minutes behind Nurk there might not be a big drop off. Last when Leonard went in the game you seen teams attack the bucket on us. Just big difference for us.

    Durant averaged 19 shots per game his last season with Russ. He'll be fine.

    I disagree. I think with PG we have a solid chance of beating GSW.

    You're.

    Selling.

    Nurk.

    SHORT.

    With Durant he wasn't going for triple doubles every game neither like he did last year and due to he fell in love with I don't see that changing alot this year.

    Core pieces for Memphis haven't been healthy since they were up 3-0 on Portland in the playoffs.
    Still managed to go up 2-1 on GSW that year, but eventual injuries to their core have slowed that team so much they're all but done.

    RipCityDSCPL Could be worse, at least it's not Lonzo.

    He had a team of dudes that could barely shoot this year and he was trying to send a message.

    George will get his shots. Russ played the same way when KD was injured a couple season back. As soon as KD returned, it went back to normal.

    What happened in the crunch-time moments though? Exactly... Froze out... Pissed... And ultimately went to the bullies that were whooping him and Russ' ass.... PG's one and done. Then we'll bump this thread and folk like you can eat their words.

    We'll be fine. If we're healthy we can beat anybody.
