    Neil confirmed we aren't using the BAE because we aren't going into the tax.

    "We have a backup point guard - it's Anfernee Simons"

    Fuck off Neil.

    We have it. He just said they won't use it because it would take us into the tax.

    Neil says we spent 95% of possessions with Dame/CJ at point guard, and Ant is better than any minimum point guard we could sign.

    Neil thinks Simons is a better backup point guard than anyone available.

    I'm listening. I heard him say we weren't using the BAE. That's what I meant when I said "No BAE?"

    I'm sorry but Simons isn't better than Bazz.

    A couple weeks without Zach is ok. I was just worried it would be more extended.

    A part of me is happy about how bullish he is on Ant.

    How many "at the end of the day" does Neil throw into every interview? It's his "you know" a la LaMarcus.

    Zach: 2-3 weeks into January as has been suspected
    Hood: Should be ready for Opening Night.

    Good to hear about Rodney.

    He's also right that our model is Dame and CJ at point guard. I don't think it's worth going into repeater territory for someone that may or may not play over Simons.

    I thought Neil was channeling his inner Damon Stoudamire with the number of, "You know" references.
