    Yeah, but he's 35 and making the vet min. Surely Rose--if healthy--is still a superior overall player (though Calderon is the better passer/shooter).

    I'm looking at various rosters in the Trade Machine to try to identify teams that could use some of our players. But what I'm noticing is that most rosters are fucking terrible and there's nothing I want back from any of the teams! With that said, I seem to recall ATL and MIL as being horribly balanced teams. Also, PHI could take on Meyers/Davis while only sending back $1.5M...Neil needs to sell them on the idea of Meyers' outside game mixing well with Embiid!

    I'm looking forward to the trade deadline to see which teams are looking to reset and which teams are looking for a "missing piece".

    Imagine no torn meniscus;
    No back spasms too.
    No knee tendinits;
    Athleticism renewed.
    Imagine being able...to actually attack the rim...

    That's because Pritchard is locked in a time capsule and still making moves on a timeline when he was last making good moves.

    Rose is a good opportunity for Cleveland. He will never go back to his best but still isn't old at 28 and could provide some ability off the bench as well as when the second unit plays while Kyrie is rested.

    I wonder if Kyrie would have believed that Rose would be his back up 6 years from being drafted.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I don't know, to me this signing strikes me as somewhat similar to the Deron Williams signing (not identical, I realize Rose is younger)--sounds interesting, but ultimately not helpful. At least Williams could shoot--Rose can't shoot, so he can't really play off the ball, and he no longer really has the quickness and explosive athleticism to be a good lead guard. And his defense is extraordinarily bad. It was never good, but as his athleticism has declined, his ability to even show minimal resistance on the defensive end has disappeared.

    I've never had sigs showing. I don't really see the point and it just clutters everything up.

    Especially those WABS or White American Born Sigs.

    Yeah.. the 'eye' was disconcerting. If I still had my Grand Mal Seizures I would have had an episode as soon as I saw it. Thank goodness I outgrew them and my brain healed.
