    Not sure why anyone would?


    I suspect our new GM will make a strong play for D-Will with LA by his side

    The Clipps were one of several teams trying to get CP3. Their deals broke down several times and they were able to keep it alive and finally come to an agreement that the rest of the NBA owners wouldn't reject. The Lakers could have adjusted their side of the trade, but still wanted to offer sh*t for the best PG in the NBA.

    I have no idea how good Neil is going to be, but he's the one that got the deal done, not CP3.

    Let's not forget the Warriors were making a strong run at CP3 as well and offering Steph Curry when the Lakers deal was nixed. The Celtic were also in talks with a possible Rono swap. The Clippers were ones that got it done with a worse guard at the center of their package (Gordon).

    The thought crossed my mind his tactics might have been like a final test of his worthiness. If not, maybe it should be. :)

    No worries... I was just trying on Ghost Pepper's suit on for size. It's surprisingly easy to wear, but I don't think it's really me.

    I do see a couple of yellow flags, but obviously Olshey is better than the collection of folks we had running the GM spot. I'm cautiously optimistic.

    I figured out that I don't like this rookie. Notice that bad GMs have a sh or ch in their names, while the great ones have a wh.

    Olshey
    Pritchard
    Nash

    It's my opinion, you think I'm incorrect, ok. If someone asks how long anything = tic toc tic toc. Door was opened by whoever started this thread.
