    I'm pretty darn sure Dame is in the know on every transaction.

    We need to get rid of Lame (no D in Dame) sooner rather than later because he would do anything to make the team as lame as him until we finally get rid of him.
    Problem number 1: Joe Cronin has Lame's cock all the way down his throat

    Yeah would like to know this, I saw some website sportrac or something that had the QO at over $1 million each, but someone posting here said it was only a $50k QO that can go to a two way.

    He's good, but is a tweezer. Tweener.

    He'll be a great piece for a superteam.

    As was pointed out, Eubanks becomes the 3rd string center, which is what he should be.

    I think he did in the Utah league or something. Rocky mountain review or something? Bo Outlaw played in like 9 years of it. There used to be more summer leagues back then, recent years its changed to where all 30 teams go to vegas.

    Saying this for years
    Although I think Watford was pretty close to his ceiling and would be surpassed by a couple of other young guys on the roster, I didn't see this coming. He's a versatile guy who seems to be good in the locker room and is getting paid next to nothing. You don't have to have him in the rotation but he's a guy that can step into the rotation for a few games here and there if you need it and he doesn't expose you too much.

    I'd like to think this is freeing up money for a bigger move, but he made so little that it seems more to me like Vulcan is pinching pennies.

    I actually think Drew will be a 3rd string PF not a center with Badji in the mix

    That's strange given Watford shows promise and Badji hasn't done anything for our team. But I also get it.

    No, as there are no roster limits in the offseason. But perhaps the team sees a roster crunch ahead and wants to pocket the cash now.

    If you look at how can the Blazers save the most cash in a move it explains 90% of their transactions the last 3 years.

    It's weird because I had no idea who you were talking about because it's such a stupid childish name you have Dame.

    There are still other leagues. We just don't go.

    I think San Antonio would love him.
