    Everyone has a "style" how they shop.

    There are people who buy online sight unseen.

    There are people who simply pay retail, being too timid to ask for a discount.

    There are people who buy whatever's the latest thing advertised.

    And then there are people like the Choad, who try to get a deal by only buying old, worn-out items in the thrift stores and cut-out bins.

    Between them, Harris, Wallace and Ford have played 22 seasons without any of them playing a single complete season. All have seen much better days and all have been actively shopped by their current teams for some time now with no takers. All are too old to be considered young by any stretch. None are currently better than our starters in their position.

    It appears that The Choad has a fear of success.

    Either look to get younger, better, healthier players, or please go work for the Rapers and ruin their team..

    I'm so mad that Cho went after the top 2 available players around that were actually good for our team. Man i'm so mad he his sights on our future. An upgrade at PG and a player who would be a great backup for both our 3/4 positions. Damn Cho and him wanting us to get better!

    Cho can't even close the deal for one of these players. They are haggling at the thrift store now.

    If playing a complete season is the most important thing, then I guess CP3 shouldn't ever be a target.

    Oh, so you ARE Maris also? I always thought there was an eerie resemblance in your gimmick posting.
