    Hawks release Okafor.

    A former #3 pick. Has holes in his game, but are you telling me a good coach couldn't at least make a useful back-up out of him? Sometimes I think NBA coaches are too fast to pigeon hole players when a little thinking outside the box would be way more profitable.

    Send Irving up with Capt. Kirk so he can see the earth is round. Then once he lands, take him to get his shots. Time he puts his big boy pants on.

    Why?

    I'm not being snarky - I just don't understand why people think he is so special.

    I honestly wonder if there isn't some mental health issues there. Guy sounds like there might be a screw or two loose.

    I don't think Morey would do it. Move from one headcase to another? I don't think so.

    I’m not sure what this response is about. I stated that some of the hall of fame all time greats also annually led the league in turnovers.

    Always cracks me up that people don’t become nutjobs UNTIL they become stinking rich. Kanye on Line 1……

    If you're poor you're crazy, if you're rich you're eccentric.

    Man if you look at old interviews with Kyrie and Kanye both. Normal ass happy dudes loving what they are doing. As soon as those chips start to stack up…. It’s all over.
