    Send Connaugton to a 3rd team then CJ and Middleton can be swapped.

    I'd rather get rid of DA than Ant. But I think Ant and Thybulle or such could fit in place of DA salary if you really wanted to ship out Ant.

    I remember when the thought was Ant/Grant and picks, still likely couldn't get us Zion.

    Zion is done. Do not want him. Sorry. Good kid, but I called it years ago. He would fade quick like Oliver Miller.

    He didn't fade as quick as I thought. He lasted a couple years longer, but I think he has maybe three years of bouncing around left and that's it.

    Not sure who the right comparison is, certainly not Oliver Miller as Zion lead the Pelicans to one of the best records in the conference for a big portion of a season. Yeah he can't stay healthy though and also has some off the court stuff that is perplexing at the least.

    Maybe Shawn Kemp is a good comparison for him. If he had the right teammates and things go right he could help get a team to the finals.

    Or he could sit on his ass, get out of shape, and be a horrible backup earning $100 million+

    My comparison to Miller has nothing to do with on court play. It has to do with physique and weight and the cliff drop they took/are taking.

    I'm not sure there is a good place for him honestly. I think beaches and sun would distract him as much as food. Just never been high on him. Yes, he has had some absurd stats and games, but the inconsistency is off the charts for the money.

    Damn, this just might get LMA to come out of retirement.

    Anybody remember Greg Robinson who used to be a Portland sports radio guy with Kermit Washington?

    I just saw him on a Prevagen commercial.

    This. All day. Every day. Food is too expensive everywhere you go. $10 for a bag of popcorn that cost them 15 cents is absurd.

    I remember when Kermit and Mychal Thompson were on the radio together. That was a great radio show.

    They did this for baseball. Players cared less because only a few teams had any shot by the mid point.

    It doesn't work. nba saw it didn't work for baseball.

    Maybe they'll get rid of the all-star game and have a mid season cup instead

    Not entirely joking
