    Oh, so you think these 4 random people are the players on the floor for them taking shots this season? I'm watching them because they have a few exciting players that will be fun to watch, they'll lose a ton, like i said, but will be exciting while losing.

    But they aren't a vet team. They are all young. You hate what they are right now.

    Oh wait, it's not the Blazers. Makes sense now.

    Interesting read on Melo.

    He was nearly a Cav (along with Paul George) on draft night. Then he was almost a Rocket (as we know).

    Meh. He'd have made us better in the short-term. The bigger thing I was hoping for was the fact we'd have a perceived "superstar" in Portland and it would raise our credibility and profile. But, ultimately, I don't sweat the decision.

    LaLa is married. Melo is not.

    If true, that was pretty fucked up.

    Cheating on your wife is fucked up. But men cheat on their wives all the time. Especially rich basketball players.

    Calling him a POS for that is going a bit too far IMO.

    The real piece of shits are the religious leaders who have forced an unnatural monogamy as the norm in an attempt to control human behavior through a patriarchal power system.

    I can see why the HCP, that self-styled judge of quality in the NBA, is so excited by the Sixers:

    NBA Board passed the draft lottery reform. Goes into effect in 2019. Even though you can predict how it will effect the league, we won't really know for a number of years. Teams will probably still trust the process but with worst results.
