    Couldn't watch him without re experiencing the elation turned to sadness of that 10 seconds or so

    Late to the party, but strong work by BNM on this. He said everything I would, better.

    Sir Charles is way too old to consider in a trade - Lopez or Lenard.....just too old and overweight!

    He actually may not have. A lot of teams with capspace already have their starting PG so they might pass on him and he might end up taking a 3 year deal with a player option for the third year for somewhere between 18-22.
    It would be a fairly expensive contract for a bench player but not unreasonable.

    Of course that is his worst case scenario for this summer but look at what happened to Millsap, anythings possible.

    I always felt the same way. Hated the mid 90s years Cliffy was our "go to guy". But, a few months ago I watched the '91 WCF Game 6 on YouTube. I HAVE to admit that the pass from Kersey was a bullet. He didn't have to throw it so hard. A softer pass or lob would have led to a bucket. That said, still don't like Cliff. And as much as I love Jerome, he is partially to blame for that t/o.

    Are you going to root for him to be the first person voted out of survivor?

    A trade that would move the needle, although I'm not sure in which direction, would be Batum, Matthews and and Leonar_ for Melo.

    Come playoff time, Lillard, Aldridge and Anthony could be a tough combo to defend

    impossible to defend. I would love that lineup. Melo can go toe to toe with anyone in the league offensively and always steps his game up against the LeBrons and Durants. He really believes he is the best player in the world and when he plays like he did last night he sure looks like it.
