    Can't Jody Allen just rent out Disney World for the kid to play in?

    To be fair, this timeline in the court probably was decided well before Covid. Woj's tweet and ensuing mother shaming is unwarranted.

    Woj keeps his insider status by reporting exactly what GMs and Agents tell him to.

    Melo was only on the rocks about potentially sitting out too, but he's fairly replaceable with Zach. That would actually solve a potential minutes crunch actually if Zach took over.

    Ariza will be tougher to replace.

    I totally support Trevor. He will be missed. But being a dad takes priority. Man! i feel for him. Obviously this custody case is a nasty one.

    If they play LA in round one, they should sign a recent Laker and just get insight from him. Like Troy Daniels.

    I understand and agree with Ariza's decision, though I am disappointed.

    I think we had a chance to surprise some people with our team and the return of Nurk and Colllins. I still think we could, but Ariza was a big part of that, so it's definitely a blow to the team. He brought a few things to the team that we don't otherwise have.

    All that being said..... the Champion of the 19-20 season would have an asterisk on their accomplishment, from my perspective, anyway (unless Portland won it all, then it's legit).

    Isn't it @julius who said we would be better without Melo and Ariza? He must be crazy!

    Can we sign Rudy Fernandez as a replacement player?

    We have Trent and Little. And tbh, a 35 years old Ariza can't be the difference between a good and a bad team

    How about Allen Crabbe? Not a true SF, but he could work in some rotations.

    1. He's currently playing for Real Madrid, whose season restarted a couple of weeks ago (because Spain actually flattened the curve)
    2. He's not very good any more. If we're getting anyone from Real Madrid, I want Campazzo. (He can help tutor Bolmaro when we draft him.)

    He wasn't very good when we let him go either. Years have passed since.
