    I don't why, but this cracked me the hell up.

    Chad Ford's ranking of off-season moves:

    Is Heisley somehow convinced that the 05 Blazers were actually good? I halfway expect them to try and Bring Ha over from Korea.

    My hope is that they go for the glory of worst assembled team ever for chemistry/contract cost and just go ahead and add AI.

    Schadenfreude is one of the great non-English words I've ever heard of.

    Aww.. it would've made the story that much better if it was Heisley that wanted Lee, and Wallace pushed to get Z-Bo instead. I couldn't think of a better team this could happen to than those idiots in Memphis.

    I didn't mean to correct the spelling... just that the concept has a specific word is cool to me.

    And why is it not surprising that this word is German? Shocking really that the English didn't come up with something like it.
