    So basically they'll be young and mediocre (because it's not like they're lotto picks) for a while. good for them.

    I’ll take young and mediocre with a great chance to improve over old and mediocre with very limited chance to improve while wasting away the prime years of your generational superstar.

    But that’s just me.

    the twolves traded away Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine and Lauri Markkanen (Dunn and LaVine were not on par with CJ offensively at the time and Markkanen wasn't even in the league yet) for a 69 game rental of Butler, and then traded him because he was a free agent at the end of the 2019 season and pretty much said "yeah, not re-signing suckas".

    Yep, that definitely proved your point that "no one" wanted to trade CJ for Butler (which probably isn't even true).

    they won 9 more games in the regular season than Portland, and 2 more in the playoffs, and came really close to knocking off Houston and advancing to the 2nd round

    whose mediocrity is better, theirs or Portland's?

    Strange how you only show up when the team is losing. Where were you for that 6 month stretch anyways?

    Oh Thats right, you weren't logged on. L.

    We're talking about the future, not right now. Because one could argue that a healthy Portland team finishes with a better record than the Thunder did.

    I’ve been around and was dealing with an illness called Covid-19. Maybe if you were actually moderating you would know.

    I just dove headfirst off the Budenholzer bandwagon. Didnt realize he was so Stottsish.

    Outscored 40-13 in the 4th. Can't get much more Stottish than that.

    I am, thank you. Luckily for me, my case was relatively mild and didn't require hospitalization. But it was still pretty crazy. Imagine the flu on steroids for an extended period of time (2-3 weeks). It took me a good 2 months to fully recover and I still think there are lingering effects. Stay safe out there.

    Props to the Heat for making the comeback, but what a disaster from the Bucks. Until proven otherwise, Giannis has peaked.
