    Then don’t watch. Going through the struggles makes the success that much better in my opinion.

    You keep thinking that sir. Looking around the world of ANY sport day in and day out and how fans interact with sports…. I beg to differ.

    I don’t remember anyone wanting CJ to make room for Ant. People wanted Norm to start at the 2. Then they wanted Hart at the 2. More specifically, people wanted CJ gone to get a player like Simmons or Siakam to balance the roster. It was never about creating playing time for Ant.

    I am a huge fan of Nurk, but it's time to turn the page and become more mobile and play faster. I also don't think you should allocate 17m a year for a center unless he's top 5.

    It's not about the individual. It's about the end result. Same with Ant Simons. I think he's going to go on and be a great offensive player. The end result for the team is not satisfactory.

    I believe you when you say that you don't remember people pushing for Ant. The other fan desired lineups you mentioned were also a thing. Anyone with a brain would've loved a CJ for Siakam trade.

    You are incorrect that the desire/willingness to trade CJ had nothing to do with giving Ant those minutes.

    The only one I can think of, but we didn’t get to see it more was Elliot Williams.

    No one wanted Ant to take those minutes. They were willing to settle with it but everyone wanted Norm or Hart. And now everyone wants Sharpe. All three make sense next to Dame.

    Change that Laker logo to this and then you got something. Just finalized my booking with the Clip-Show thru the first round. #DollaDollaBillsYall

    well, you're a poster....if somebody was to hang you on a ceiling there would need to be some sturdy engineering before the hang

    I’m no capologist, but isn’t 17M for a starting center pretty cheap. Thats why I don’t upset every night Nurk plays like shit…..I don’t expect much from him to be honest.

    Neither of those statements are accurate.

    Personally I like Ant I think he’s a nice piece unfortunately he and Dame aren’t a good backcourt. If for some reason Dame were to be traded I’d be happy to have Ant and Sharpe as our starting backcourt. That said I also think Ant will be the piece we trade along with draft picks to get another big name. Going to be fun off season.
