    Wandering around aimlessly beating his own drum. Yep, sounds about right.

    Totally against 2nd year players being eligible for rookie of the year. I don't care if they were hurt for their "rookie" season, they were still in the league as opposed to the other real rookies.

    Spurs getting Kawhi back were supposed to improve. However, if tonights score holds up, they'll have 3 straight losses, two of them to Dallas, with their last win coming against the Suns (who they only beat by 3).

    OKC is so overrated man... Those pieces just do not fit and they don't have anyone outside of their Big 3 and Adams.

    Man, teams are looking ragged this past week. Jimmy Butler looks so fatigued, and our own Dame looked worn out.

    OKC after its triple OT game just dropped one to the Knicks missing Hardaway and Porzingis.

    It's time for our bench to start producing and minutes to be managed. Stop running Dame/CJ out there for 40+ mins, we have enough knowledge on this to show this is when they're most prone to injuries.

    Paul George is being wasted in these sets when he sits on the corner without moving for 18 seconds

    Sam Presti has to make a decision in the next couple of weeks, they have a 132 Million payroll wich is huge for a Small Market non Contender team. I doubt there owner pays tax for such a dissapointment team. He did not wanted to pay tax for Durant, Westbrook and Harden. Why would he want to pay tax for THIS shit team. Presti now has to fire Billy D and try a new coach or trade Paul George before the Deadline otherwise he leaves in free agency

    I like your phrase-coining, Labinot...a "disappointment team." Do European leagues have salary limits like caps and luxury tax?

    I get the feeling that Napier is a decent starting PG in this league. Think how good he'd be on the Knicks. So we should play him as much as we can and that will help out Dame and CJ.

    I dont know how it is in other countrys, but here in Germany we have no cap or luxury tax. The salarys are much much less in contrast to the nba. The mvp of the league has a salary of 3 Million per year.
