    Hahaha. Dubljevic must have a really good PR man (or woman).

    If Morris were to do that after the Spurs made a trade to clear room/cap space for him, I would expect some changes in how things progress with the smaller fish going forward.

    I swear I saw him in the Big 3 last year and he looked old even by those standards.

    Hard to believe he is only 36. But unless he miraculously regains his explosiveness I don't see how he could possibly contribute.

    I will never forget his first (maybe 2nd) summer league game back in 2002. I had front row seats watching Eddy Curry and Tyson Chandler
    talking trash to him. They were ganging up on him and neither would shut up. I was feeling bad for the kid because he looked nervous and kind of small next to them. Then all of sudden he just exploded on them, dunk after dunk. He just glared at them each time and neither neither of them said another word the rest of the game. It was definitely a holy shit moment realizing how good this kid was going to be.

    I remember Paul Allen was in love with him as well and tried to do anything to get him in the draft

    Seems like the thing that should change is if you agree with someone, and the moratorium is over, you should put pen to paper. Dont agree and hang out.

    Rich Paul is such a scumbag it’s actually impressive how he manages to stand out among all the other scum.

    I think Westbrook is a special case as in Presti will prioritize his wishes. He won’t trade him somewhere he doesn’t wanna go. Combine that with the limited number of teams that could/would take on that contract and I’m expecting a pretty meh return for OKC. Maybe we get involved and give up a first for Okpala? We have a TPE to absorb him and I’m pretty sure Olshey was going to draft him had Little not fallen. Miami and OKC both need to shed money. Could be a great opportunity

    He’d be the best backup guard as he can play with all of Dame, CJ, Simons, and he can run an offense.

    Do you know where I want Westbrick traded to? Nowhere. I want him in pain.

    To The Pain.
    It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.

    I'd like to see him playing for the Knicks, but it seems they're too shitty for anyone nowadays. How bad do you have to be to fuck that up? Imagine if Westbrick said no to the Knicks? They're two peas in a pod.

    my guess is that OKC may be trying to find a 3rd team to divert Gallo to and pick up some extra assets AND a huge TPE. That makes a lot of sense for them

    it's a done deal in terms of PG going to LAC, IMO

    yeah....people are writing the epitaph for the Warriors way early

    Klay could be back before Christmas; they got D'Angelo Russell, brought back Looney; signed Willie Caulie-Stein, Glenn Robinson, and Alec Burks

    they aren't going to be as bad a many apparently think
