    but Jack Squat might be a great locker room guy and seems to be injury free

    He was 10 minutes to a flight with a new team in a new city and I think Carlisle handled it very poorly.

    Our roster would be picked apart in an expansion draft. We would designate Dame & CJ and then would lose Harkless +/or Aminu/Nurkic.

    I don't think we will see expansion anytime soon but last time there was one you got to protect 8 of your players. Harkless and Nurkic are easily on that list of 8.

    The last expansion draft we could protect 8. So your worry would be losing one of our 9-15 guys?

    After the first 4, it doesn't matter, but
    Dame
    CJ
    Nurk
    Harkless

    Aminu
    Vonleh
    Turner
    Crabbe

    The seriously, who would we miss?

    You leave Crabbe unprotected in any hypothetical expansion draft because expansion teams only get 2/3rds of the Cap Space in their first year so they aren't likely to be interested. Plus, in some instances you might want them to take him.

    Again, after the first four, it really doesn't matter

    Shit that looked like bad news for Wes. Hopefully has nothing to do with the Achilles he injured.

    Agreed unless you are specifically trying to trim salary.

    Gonna be a big game @ OKC. They will be on a 3 game slump after a nights rest at home, and we will be on a back to back. Also a must win game for tiebreaker purposes.

    They've looked really bad tonight against the Mavs.

    Westbrook got a tech tonight so unless it is rescinded he will be suspended for our game!

    Edit: Of course ESPN reports the number of Techs wrong. You gotta pay for insider to get the right number.

    I don't understand how he gets so many techs. He's one of the poster boys of the league. And he gets every call...

    Zaza averaging 6 reb this year. Nurk would dominate Zaza in a playoff series - another reason I'd rather see the Warriors than the Spurs.
