    apparently we used it to get Thybulle, so that was an asinine question

    People have told me I am. :dunno:

    In real life people's eyes light up when they see me. :dunno:

    My only real enemy (besides white supremacists) is my ex wife. :dunno:

    People love me. :dunno:

    Thybulle has been a bright spot since the trade.
    Maybe a 3&D type of player? He needs to be wide open to make them, so maybe he does not fit that description, but I like his effortless motion. 14-26 since he arrived (54%) He is a keeper

    If thybulle is a poor man’s version of Og anonuby, I don’t feel great about giving up a haul to get him this summer. Og wouldn’t make us much better than we are now.

    If we were healthy, I think we’d be a near-contender with OG. The problem is without Nurk we have no rim protection or rebounding. I think Josh Hart was a helpful bandaid for our shitty rebounding even with Nurk. If we had OG and say Vanderbilt without playing Shaedon (for thought exercise), I think we’d be a top 6 team.

    yes, elite rim protecting C is most important for us, then a 2-way wing, in that order.
