    I don't think Detroit would consider this trade w/o a first rounder attatched to it.
    I also am unsure if Charlotte makes the trade.
    Between MKG, Batum(injured but still 4 years left), Lamb, Monk. I'm not sure if there are minutes to be had for Turner.

    Yeah, honestly I agree. Lamb will probably start in Batum's place, and probably play SF minutes when MKG is out. I'm guessing they really don't see much need to find another SG/SF to fill Batum's slot.

    I thought getting rid of Meyers at any cost would make EVERYBODY happy?
    Also, we cut a year off of the financial obligations involved with Turner/Meyers.
    Howard backing up Nurk - there are much worse things I can imagine. Like Meyers backing up Nurk!
    So, despite the fact I made the post in jest, I'm going to have to disagree with you. It makes sense in at least 3 different ways.

    Man Batum is always injured every year. Even if he doesn’t actually miss games he’ll blame misc injuries that are “affecting” him every year

    Get well soon but good riddance

    :lol:

    Only meant relatively. It was much easier to hate them when they had Bryant and co. than it is to hate a bunch of young players who don't really act bad. I still dislike the franchise, I always will but as far as players go I find it much easier to dislike Warriors now, for example.

    Yeah but I still can't stand Draymond, I don't like Klay and Durant either. Curry, Iguodala I am fine with.

    Kenyon Martin is a fake tough guy.
    And apparently a racist.

    What were his comments? That Asians shouldn't wear dread locks? I've heard so many white people say that about other white people.

    It isn't racist. It's ignorant.

    The two aren't mutually exclusive, and in fact, usually align.
