    Sounded a lot like shedding salary is a focus.

    mostly due to him being massive disappointment and failure.

    just an FYI, this doesn't mean we wont pay them 10M a year to be that bad.

    Just a guess, but one of our first rounders will be packaged with someone like Meyers.

    Boston is playing well. Cleveland's 1st may be better than Boston's 1st.

    He said a whole lot of nothing. When you spend the money you spend this last off season. You spend it thinking you are on to something. Not behind the idea that is a roster that is a work in progress. They are in the TOP 3 in payroll. It's a roster at that rate that should be a lot better.

    Well he said he would trade the picks if the right guy was available and focus on the draft if the player is not. I wonder who he wants.

    I would take Butler if Chicago really wanted to get rid of him, but I think they will ask for too much. I would love to get Serge, but I don't think he would re-sign with us. But he and Nurkic would compliment one another.

    PF is a bigger need IMO than SF. But any draft pick would take 2-3 years to develop. Who else is out there? And who has cap space that could offer a max deal to Serge if we did roll the dice on him?

    "Okay, Neil, I've memorized the questions you want me to ask you and I think we're to roll film, whenever you're ready." I think he had a standing heart rate under 80 for that interview, slowest I've ever seen on him.

    Actually he said a lot. He pretty much said they kept everyone knowing eventually they would break it up.

    Ha there is no question that is exactly what happened. She was fed on what to ask. Which is fine, I don't really care to listen to any stupid questions. They got right to it.

    You know what I mean. If Boston the team passes Cleveland in the standings, we have a better pick.

    Agreeded. If he keeps up at this rate though, it may cost us two or three of our picks, to get rid of his ass....

    We'll be trying to trade Crabbe and perhaps Leonard.
