    He's only missed 3 games this season. I wouldn't worry too much about him until our trainers find a way to kill his knees.

    You'd "do" Miller for Harris? Now that's a dedicated fan! Get this guy on the payroll.

    I will be on board with all the Blazer trainer haters if Devin's knee explodes his first game with us!

    Duuuuude...

    at least, that's how I read it until I did a quick double-take.

    I'd enter a wife joke, but that's not my thing.

    I'd do Miller for Harris. As long as Miller's first name were Marisa.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Hehe. I see what you did there. See, this is why we need mathematical parenthetical operators in natural language.

    For example, if you want to subtract 3 from 7 and then multiply the result by 4, you'd do: (7 - 3) * 4. If you just did "7 - 3 * 4" it's vague and ill-defined (which is why order of operations was instituted).

    So, in the above, I could have written "I'd do (Miller for Harris)." And that would have a very distinct meaning from "I'd do Miller (for Harris)" as you implied I meant.

    Or maybe the fun of comedically misinterpreting language isn't worth losing.

    Also on wfan in new York today mike francesca said Harris will be traded one way or another. He said Portland or Houston.

    I love what Andre has brought to us this season, without his play I think LaMarcus is averaging 19ppg. Dre is the reason this team is leading the league in alley-oops. Can you think of any other McMillian years where his team is even in the top10?

    Also, I don’t think New Jersey cares much about Dre as a player, they just want his contract, so I’d push like hell to have Joel in there instead of Dre. Would it work long term with Dre and Harris? Probably not. Maybe it’s unrealistic for me to think of caring two PG. I just don’t like the idea of losing Miller to a team that doesn’t care about his on the court contributions.

    I’m also not totally convinced Harris will be a long term better option than Dre. In 4 years Dre will be 38 and Harris 32, it’s probably unlikely but I think its possible Dre could even have a better game at that point in time.

    Yes I know Harris is a better player, more talented and should make us a more legit team on paper in the long-term. A year or two ago I would have jumped at this deal in a heartbeat. Now I feel like we have to make the trade but I’m uneasy about taking the plunge.

    Was ^^^^ supposed to be funny? Too wordy, IMO.

    Keep it short. Think "why the long face?", or something similar.

    It wasn't supposed to be funny. I've wanted mathematical operators in language for a long time. This just gave me a venue to champion my lifetime cause for natural language parenthetical operators.

    It was supposed to be a keen linguistic insight. :sigh: Maybe I need to be posting on the New Yorker forums. Does the New Yorker have web forums?

    This move could cost us playoffs.

    Btw can we just have a sticky thread for lame jokes instead of killing real topics with nonsense?

    Kind of the opposite of us always killing all your nonsense threads with real posts huh?

    Wouldn't that account for roughly 98% of your posts?...KA-POW!

    Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. Try the prime rib and don't forget to tip your servers!

    If this trade only costs us Miller and not Rudy as well, I think we are still a lock for the 8th seed at worst. Don't forget that Denver w/o Melo is brutal.

    That ship has sailed. The season was over 2 months ago.
