    The reason he isn't going to shoot up the draft board is his age compared to all those that will go ahead of him. My thought was that if we needed to we could package our pick and the 11th pick to move up a few spots. Should be easy at that point compared to just having one mid 20's pick. Once again, this is just wishful thinking. I actually wasn't a fan of Bridges last year around this time but I'm completely sold on him now.

    You know I also have been pushing the plan to just say screw it and go deep into the tax (if Allen is obviously okay with it) for awhile now. Of course it is a risk but other than money if Allen is willing what is the downside?

    Meanwhile on National TV schedule today on NBATV Cavs vs Knicks and on ESPN it’s Pelicans vs Clippers. Are you serious? Cavs again with knicks and Clippers both out. Why not Thunder vs Heat then Blazers vs Nuggets?

    Because I don't watch a lot of college ball, I have no idea what Kieta Bates Diop looks like, but because I've been watching the NBA for 50 years, and I also watched American Horror Story - Freak Show, I know what DeSagana Diop and Kathy Bates look like:

    And I now have an mental image stuck in my head of what their love child would look like.

    So, thanks for that!

    Then they'd trade Kemba for a lotto pick and het under the tax. You don't start a complete rebuild by trading away a lottery pick.

    C'mon Bones, I said it was wishful thinking in every post about it. You don't have to be so serious and shatter my dreams! :hater::cool2:

    People think that Memphis just rolls over because they lost by 60 to the Hornets.
    But this same Memphis team has beat GSW & Houston this year.
    If Conley was healthy, they'd be right in the 3-10 mix.

    It won’t change a thing if they do. Utah still go above us with a win against us, even if they are beaten by the Warriors.

    What if Minnesota wins and SA loses? Then I think SA gets 8th seed. There are a lot of moving parts here.

    I'm so sad they didnt have the double "WHAT? ME?" from Draymond Green and (I think) Quinn Cook from the game earlier this year with Portland. It was classic.
