    unless we get rid of ET, or Crabbe, or Lillard, or whoever. What's the point. We need to lose salary.

    I'm hoping to make another thread later, but Leonard isn't just going to disappear. If we're lucky, we'll trade him for a $5 mil player and cut $5 mil off the cap. Even then, we'll be $15 mil or so into the luxury tax without Ezeli. Keeping him only makes it much worse.

    Head transplant if Meyer's back is ok.

    Seriously the guy has the physical gifts one needs to play.

    Right now he plays similar to a garbage truck doing an autocross course. Not a good fit. Why can't the team see that and fix it before he gets old?

    Actually watched that happen years ago across the river from Long View in whatever that little city was called. Freaky watching a cement truck roll solideways down a big hill.

    I can imagine. Found some great truck crash gifs. My favorites are the ones when the truck is overheight, going under a bridge.... Awesome.... Lol

    Hey, can we tie Ezeli's bad leg to Nurkic's bad leg and have them play as one player? (I should know if it's the same leg, in which case they'd go round in circles, but I admit I don't.)

    Used to go cruising in Longview in the early 90's. Was riding with cute girls in bed of friend's truck when one supposedly had a miscarriage. If they were lying they really wanted away from me. Not doubtful really

    You weren't in a 95ish z28 that got chased by a crazy guy in an escort were you? If so you're lucky you got away. That was my friend that got fired from his bouncer job at Dodge City Saloon for starting more fights than he stopped. I was in the back seat preparing to die in a crash.

    Thus endeth the Ezeli era. $7M for fuck all. But at least he got health insurance.
