    Dammit he can sell.

    But what I found interesting is when he started talking about the tax. The vibe I got is they plan on being a tax team, they just didn't want to start the clock now.

    Those questions are more pruned than a White House Press Release.

    Wonder who he meant by "rental market." Probably Tyreke, Hezonja, or Belinelli.

    You mean the Clippers didn't want Evan Turner and Meyers Leonard for Jordan?

    Lol it’s so funny I came into that thinking “alright Neil try to squirm outta this one” and left like “alright Neil but if these exxxtendagirth pills don’t work again ima be pissed”.

    The man can talk, which is probably why he still has a job.

    I have heard it before. It's not as impressive as it once was.

    That wouldn't have made sense as a rental.

    He's nothing more than a glorified used car salesman.

    I've met and talked to Neil a couple of times. He's as phony as they come

    After listening to that, he sounds like someone who could play a character on a soap opera.

    Weird, he sounded like a guy responsible for running a company who evaluated the situation and made a business decision. One team made moves that will possibly improve their playoff position. One team made moves that will possibly improve their team next year. It seems pretty obvious that the opportunities weren't there. You stick with a young team that was not going to make a run this year and see what presents in the offseason. Sounds like a good plan.

    The haters are too blind with passion right now to think about things like that.
