    Seriously? How is this fair? Someone calls me out AGAIN, I comment, and it's me whining? It's such bullshit. You guys are ridiculous.

    Jesus does every thread have to be about you and your persecution paranoia?!

    interesting that he's going with the black vest, grey slacks, black socks and brown (oxblood?) shoes. Generally a no-no. But I guess if you are now worth about a quarter-billion, you can wear whatever you want.

    We had 2 lists going into free agency. One with LaMarcus and one without. If LA was ready to commit, they would go in one order. If not, they would go in another. Some players fit both models. If they exhausted either list, they wouldn't start chasing guys just to fill out the cap space. Is the player we are acquiring commensurate to the cap space we are giving up?

    Would we be impeding young player development by bringing in other players? Do we want to bring in someone who say takes away minutes from Allan Crabbe where he doesn't get the opportunity to play like CJ and Meyers did last year.

    Looks like the vest is a lighter black (gray) on front. But ya, totally agree with you.

    I want to see what his belt looks like though

    "I think there is more talent here today than what we inherited 3 years ago."

    Is that a framed photo of Aldridge in the background?

    In regards to tanking, "Have you met Damian Lillard?"

    Fuck the hivemind. They were wrong two years ago and they're still bitter.

    We were on the clock a bit when we first got here because of trying to put pieces around LaMarcus but basically we inherited LA, Nic and Wes in terms of talent. The guys we have now are better than you think, they are just younger.

    LA could have asked for a trade so the acquiring team could offer him a 5 year max deal under Bird rights....he nor his agent didn't do that.

    I think the point he's trying to make is that we'd be stuck in the CLE role in any trade.
