    Maybe something to do with having their best player all season?

    Clarke is an advanced stats stud. It seems like he'd be an upgrade over Grant at PF if he were healthy, but he has no outside game.

    But he’s coming back from a torn achilles, right? I’d be worried about how that impacts his athleticism (he was a really bouncy player).

    Couldn’t find the OFFICIAL Pendleton Round Up thread.
    @THE HCP is heading there to work right now. I’m flying. When I told the company I’m working for I don’t drive long distances for work anymore, and I’d work it if they flew me out, I just assumed Alaska flew there…. Nope.
    I’m flying in Boutique Air whatever the hell that is. Looked them up, small 6 seater planes. Single propeller. We’ll see how this goes. Smallest plane I’ve ever been on.
    Waiting in this little hanger/office by PDX. Checking out the other 5 passengers. Trying to figure their story out so I can get the jump on em if we end up trying to survive up in the woods on Mt. Hood….. like LOST! Crazy thing is, I have to stay in Hermiston while working there for a couple days. Exciting couple days coming up. MODS, feel free to merge with the Round Up or Melo thread!

    Should've had them get you an Uber. I mean @KingSpeed may not be in town to take the job, but I'd have driven you out there, for acceptable compensation.

    It would be a concern for sure. But then again so is Timelord's injury. I have always loved his game so I would probably gamble on that trade.

    A few things

    1. I believe “little hanger “ was Sly’s nickname in high school.

    2. I need a pic of the weight distribution in that tiny plane

    3. Have a hell of a good trip

    I thought that was what the USF Don's women's team thread was for.

    I'm calling BS on HCP's story. There's not enough room in that plane for him to bring all his shoes, let alone his big belly.

    Morant to the Lakers for D'Lo & picks. The Grizzlies have to find other ways to win. I recommend tanking for the draft.

    Cedi Osman bailed on the NBA for a 1 year deal in Greece. He had a good run as a Cavs 6th man, but his output has been declining over the last 2 seasons.

    Something tells me that the interior of that puddle jumper now is redolent of bean farts and old spice.

    Safe to say the interior of the plane pic on their website was NOT the plane I rode on. Flying home tomorrow afternoon at 3. I’m surrounded by TRUMP supporters here. HELP!

    Tell them you just snuck across the border and are looking for an American girl to marry.

    For stability, they should seat him with the baggage...near the tail if the plane has 1 engine, and between the wings if it has two engines.
