    I'd rather he get back on defense, or run to the corner for a fast break three. We have plenty of folks who can rebound.

    I think 8-10 mil is his tip of the iceberg. He is going to be 28 and has never been a first or second option on a team. He is basically a consistent version of Ariza.

    We were 3rd in ORB% and 13th in DRB%.

    All last season (even when he sat out the half-season), posters said that McCollum might start by the end of the season. I tried to tamp down expectations, but they still say it, now for next season.

    By next season, McCollum will be a star.

    You mean 2014-15?

    You define "star" as being at least our 7th man? Like, more minutes than Barton or Blake?

    He's more trim now, so he won't waddle like a duck anymore, but his shooting will remain lard-ass, not Lillardian.

    Among the minutes-per-game leaders in the NBA in 2014-15 and in the top-ten in the NBA for scoring.

    If I'm wrong, feel free to bring back this prediction. I'm sure, at that point, I'll play it off like a pointless joke but I'm actually deadly serious so don't let me get away with that.

    Okay, I'll memorize your post's location. After a long search, I found an empty spot in my brain. I'm putting your post next to my 1953 memory of chasing the fire engine a few blocks in Tokyo, getting lost, crying while walking around, and a woman helping me find my house. You lucked out; my 256K memory is now full.

    Even the original Apple Mac had a built in 400k memory with an 800k expansion unit. Dude you need an upgrade! I once witnessed a Taiwanese fire brigade trying to push start a firetruck with a dead battery while somewhere a house was burning down and realized where the expression "Chinese fire drill" originated.

    In Calcutta and New Delhi my father traveled by rickshaw. They didn't have taxis.

    Meyers Leonard. He's so underrated we list him as a center.

    Speaking of memorizing, I get these two "V" guys mixed up. Both are 6-11 with no college. Everyone should memorize this.
