    Oh okay so you missed the Leron Ellis era by a couple of years.

    I saw Ray Blume play there in 77'. Are you sure it didn't peak then?

    Many people said Ingram was the next Durant. It appears that NO believes him to have reached that level.

    I would have taken that deal…. As long as they weren’t asking for like 6 picks

    They were probably asking for like 6 picks (if the tweet isn't just BS)

    awww man. 91’ here.
    No bragging for either of us….the gym i thought was parkrose was NOT parkrose a buddy took me too a decade or so ago. He reminded me last night it was a church with a gym NEAR parkrose. But he is now in AZ, so we didn't go into many details, but suffice it to say my legacy of playing in the same gym as KD has been crushed!
    Stupid facts….

    So basically cj, nance, maybe little as well and as many picks as we could offer, might have got us KD?

    hmmmmmmmmm

    It's good we traded two starters for the amazing "flexibility" we received back at the trade deadline. Nets are looking for those types of win now "overpaid" veteran players for KD. Of course our "flexibility" ended up so much more beneficial than having assets to make an offer for KD.

    I was highly critical of Cronin at the trade deadline but Hart, Grant, GP2 > CJ, Roco, Powell, Nance.

    We have more assets to trade for Durant now than we would if we never made those trades.

    Lots of things have to happen but:

    If they can’t find a trade and KD goes back to BK

    and

    they are an average team

    and

    Ant explodes this season

    I could see a deadline deal happening with Ant and picks.

    Are you equating a thirty-plus year-old, overpaid CJ with Brandon Ingram? Little and CJ come nowhere close to matching Ingram's value.

    Dooby Eyes is inconsistent. If that trade offer is real, Nawlins just screwed the pooch.

    It's near 122nd. And there are a lot of nice neighborhoods in the area. It's the main drags that are so-so.

    Maybe he's a big Sam Elliot fan and wanted to see where he went to high school.

    I played against Ray Blume.
    And Jeff Stoutt, who lit me up for 40+...
