    Makes too much sense not to happen. It'd be funny if neither team's record changed much.

    Utah would have to add an extra, surely? They would be looking at getting a versatile player who is on a $6.8M rising to $7.8M deal for three more seasons, possibly the best contract in the league. Crowder is good.

    Fuck that! Utah's losing Hayward, and the only way it happens is if Boston offloads salary. Hayward should insist that he be a sign-and-trade (a la Chris Paul to the Rockets).

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Why would Hayward insist on it? It's in his best interests for Boston to be as good as possible.

    Yeah except that's a problem.

    It's like having a really slow car that gets bad gas mileage. Would anyone want a Prius that got 10 mpg? Not me.

    I'd take a Prius that got 10mpg if it had a cool racing stripe and a 50/40/90 season.

    But that's two totally different things. Overpaid and trash. They're not mutually exclusive. You can be overpaid AND trash.... but being overpaid doesn't automatically make you trash.

    As a Prius owner, this gave me a chuckle!

    It would be kind of like us retiring #12. Except ZBO experienced more playoff success than the turncoat.

    I see no problem with retiring Sergei Monia's jersey. He was a pillar of this franchise.

    ZBO will hang from the rafters with Big Country.

    Was maybe the best player in Europe. Interested to see how he'll do.

    I'm fine with you disagreeing, and I can deal with that. I don't think you can deal with my opinions because you're putting words into my mouth to overexaggerate what I'm saying, just so you can say I'm having a "panic attack".

    Stotts sucks when it comes to certain things and yes, I think Aminu and Vonleh suck (Vonleh's improving though).

    Am I not allowed to think that they suck without you getting your panties in a bunch? And then putting words in my mouth and exaggerating what I'm saying because you don't like it?
