    Well I just made a one dollar bet that OKC would match. The money might be low, but it's with a friend I have a rivelry with. But I have to admit, I still kind of hope I lose the bet.

    Since they HAVE to trade if they match. Maybe we could pick up some bargains?

    Yeah, if they match he gets smaller annual raises, right? So without bothering with any of that pesky math stuff, it seems likely this costs OKC something comparable to their original smaller offer?

    No you're not. You are hardly as cool as Val Kilmer in that movie, bro.

    It could be very interesting - but I am one of the slack-jawed yokels who thinks we are going to get stuck with Kanter.

    Val Kilmer called me the day he got that part and asked what "one liner" he should use.

    It was between "I'm your huckleberry" and "Hold onto your shorts!" I said the second was used for a specific basketball forum legend and he would be sued for trademark infringement. When we decided the first option was best, he came over to my home, and we practiced the line together with a bottle of Captain Morgan's and contemporary Jazz. It brought out expression when we dazzled the crowd "A blind black fellow and an obese American Indian" as we rattled out the patented JAZZ HANDS. Later we dropped a few tabs and recited lines in the Doors movie.

    It was a night we would never forget

    So we gonna bet? I got $100 that Blazers get Kanter

    1. They don't have to.

    2. I assume they won't be likely to help those that forced them into the position.

    I got as far as you telling an imaginary Val Kilmer to hold onto his shorts...

    This is the second time Val Kilmer has been referenced this week. Two times too many.

    Ahhhh good ole Steve. I remember one night that Kat drove to my house dressed in drag. I found it rather odd he would choose such an unusual sequen pattern, spelling "I love the tuba", but I didn't want to rain on his parade.

    Anyway, we decided to take the yellow line to an old dive bar called "one eye jakes" and finish off a couple pints of malt liquor. Just when we thought the night could be more dull, a purple lizard strolled in wearing plaid rain boots and polyester chaps. He did the rain man dunk into a woman's tub top, which may of explained why Steve wore the "I love tuba" dress.

    The night ended with us crashing our pelican on interstate 5 and having to walk to the moon the rest of the way.

    Good times... Good times...
