    This better not be a forgettable February. We need moves man. We need trades to be made in the first ten days of this month. Whether those moves make this team more competitive right away, are designed to start a youth rebuild or are designed to collect assets that allow us to lose more this season and then move those assets in the off season to immediately compete for a title... doesn't really matter because all three of those approaches hold some water logically.

    What holds no water is doing nothing, letting the team continue to hang around the play in games, let our mismatched talent continue to make each other look bad and therefore possibly lower their trade value and end up either getting swept out of the first round again or with the 14th pick that won't likely help us too much with a youth rebuild or an effort at an immediate championship and will lock up our ability to trade future picks in an attempt to get better.

    So here's to a February for freedom from fucking up... the same way... repeatedly. Around the NBA a February for change edition?

    Should we change the title to “Don’t Fuck Up February”?

    Sly said you can't put obscenities in thread titles but maybe there's some way of using a couple symbols in Fuck to make it work.

    Question? besides Dame & Naz, who are the two players remaining, that CBill will lobby to keep?
    I think one will be RoCo and the other Powell.

    I'm hoping none. I'm really hoping that like me the only guys he cares to keep on this roster are Dame and Nas... maybe Larry and that's not because all three are injured or anything. If healthy they'd be the only three I'd really be interested in retaining... oh and Trendon not only do I hope we keep Trendon, which I don't even think you can trade two way guys but I hope we convert his contract into a regular one and lock him up for the two seasons after this one.

    He looks like he's about to read a list of demands.

    We made a bad trade for Afflalo because Stotts wouldn't trust CJ to contribute. Now we traded for an older, smaller player because Neil probably thought Trent was too big, and Neil still wouldn't play him that much.
    So glad that era is over....but we will continue to pay for it for a while.

    And yet, Trent's season averages after this hot streak are almost identical to his career shooting percentages.

    The grass is always greener on the other side.
