    You ever go to Amalfi's? Love that place. They got the patio open and heated.

    Super bomb! My first job my sophomore summer was washing dishes there. Owned now by a good friend of ours from HS and her husband Rashad Floyd, ex football player. They have put a ton of money into it. Les mom and pop feel now, but still fantastic.

    Been going there since I was a kid. You don't grow up NE without knowing about Amalfi's i guess.

    really? I hadn’t heard that. That’s tragic.

    Damn. That was probably my dude’s cousin. They all had menu items named after them.

    You pass in a heartbeat on a center who is making 0.376 of his shots. No brainer.

    I really don’t wanna shit on Kanter because he’s so likable, but he’s so bad defensively and a horrible fit with our guards/system. I’m not even saying Cousins is necessarily the answer, but Neil needs to push his feelings aside and do what’s best for the team and find someone better.

    You said that Olshey wouldn't pursue him due to the reason not basketball-related. I was gonna ask what you meant.

    But then I saw THIS headline in the Similar Threads section.

    Enes and Dame virtually carried us through a good long win streak after Nurk and CJ went down and we lose one game and he gets thrown under the bus.....man. People wonder why free agents didn't want to come here? I watched Boogie play one game and wasn't impressed with his motor...seemed sluggish and slow to me...didn't rebound much...season avg of 9 pts....if you go after another big not sure he'd be my target but the media is shopping him and praising his recent numbers so....he's being marketed right now

    I'll say it one more time.

    He's better than Giles.

    I don’t even view Giles as a center. He’s a power forward that can play center when teams go small, but that’s about it.
