    I can never tell internet sarcasm. My meter is broken. Little popcorn dude looked like somebody who was waiting to hear what the homers had to say. Like a milder version of this cat: :smiley-cough:

    First of all, he must be much cheaper now. Like, almost free I would imagine. And sec thing is (referring to "shit all over") our young players are on the road to
    nowhere and they already don't look clean at all.
    I just like the guy and I don't really like Rubio. Ricky could have great live in sunny Spain and I don't understand what he struggling in Minny for. He won't be any better.
    Thing is, I don't like the idea of keepin two shot first guards in starting 5. I need proper PG to distribute the ball if our team has to be just 3poit shotin machine.

    Have you actually watched Rondo play this year? He's playing even worse this year than he did in DAL. He's a whiny bitch whose game has deserted him.

    And, I'm not sure what you mean by cheap, but he's making $14 million this year and $13.4 million next. So, we'd have to give up something to get him, but worse than that is the opportunity cost of taking on that shitty contract.

    I repeat: no thanks!

    Yeah. I don't watch games cos they are fkin 4 in the morning:) And cheap Rondo means we can trade him for Mayers now. Portland is in deep shh rite now so I guess I could be doing my best from Poland as well as Olshey doin from Oregon.

    Stripping out Crabbe/Thompson from that proposal, you're essentially suggesting:

    I don't see in what world that's even close to reasonable on Denver's end.

    The same reason we need Kenneth Faried. To undo a previous trade that didn't work out so well for us.

    I'll reserve my world is ending rant for AFTER guys like Nurkic get traded elsewhere. Portland isn't the only team that hasn't made any moves, and I wouldn't expect anything until deadline day. I don't understand why pretty much every team waits until then, but it is what it is.

    Btw my contempt for Neil is growing by the day, so I have a lot of things I want to get off my chest about him, but I will wait until after the deadline to do it lol.

    No, seriously, you want to get back Barton, cos Afflalo didn't work out, so you give them Vonleh, so you can get him back in two years?

    I think Ezeli may come back this year, and that's is why Portland didn't apply for the exception on the 15th. Is it possible instead of the surgery, he opted for some other procedure, that would get him back quicker? And that is where he disappeared to before the road trip. Everyone was wishing him well with the procedure and not issuing goodbyes? Maybe his agent was messing with us in that tweet, and the "...not for surgery" was him essentially saying he is not getting the surgery, but rather a different procedure to get back sooner...
