    Badji started getting eyeballs here before the 2021 draft with his length and athleticism on D. He’s just raw. Can he become a serious back-up 2 years from now or 2 years away from 2 years?

    With his abilities, it’s all about work ethic and how much he wants to be great (or good). I love the signing.

    If you ask Mike Barrett, Ibou is already well ahead of Victor in terms of development, and he's already put 15 lbs of muscle on just since the team signed him.

    Some people may not get this or the original reference. But this is good!

    First thing I read when I woke up, like right when I woke up, and I instantly read it to the tune of the song LOL!!

    If even one person enjoyed it, than it was worth the effort.

    I think I am finally too old to understand a music reference. I officially retire from being a cool person.

    Yes I have. If that’s the case I guess that’s just business but also sad. I feel the NBA should have something more akin to NFL contracts due to injuries. Of course that would require a wholesale contract renegotiation. Im torn between Darius Miles type situations and also where players get fucked. I’m not saying that’s what happened here just my thoughts on your comment.

    The good news is, your retirement from being a cool person will be easy...because you never were a cool person.

    You are one #BAM and not using high brow words like retirement for me to believe it is really a HCP post

    I was thinking about spelling it phonetically, but than I realized, "retyiremint" looks funny.

    I’m fairly confident you’ve heard this song before.
