    Not sure what you meant about that but I'm from the NEP too and if you're not from there, what do you know about the "culture"... Especially since the NEP is very gentrified and full of White people now. But this has nothing to do with the OP so...

    I think I posted a realistic trade to consider and you trolled my thread because you either thought you were funny (about as funny as rubbing icy hot on your balls) or because you had nothing better to do. Thanks for trying to contribute I guess.

    Lamarcus isn't a dynamic scorer without a legit... legit 2nd scoring threat on the floor. In the lineup you propose Conley averages 18ppg but is only an average deep shooter to spread the floor with. Lopez literally becomes our 3rd scorer.

    He's joking man... John constantly crows about being from NEP.

    Some of you guys really need to get your sarcasm meters checked out. This is the second time I've seen someone take an obvious joke the wrong way this morning.

    What are you talking about, mayne? I think Lebron would really help this team out.

    Better question, would you trade Dame for Kyrie Irving?

    There were rumblings that Irving wants out of Cleveland. I'm not saying I would do it, because I'm not really sold on Irving, but I'm curious what others think.

    I will make sure to not make sarcastic jokes directed at personal friends in a forum where people are too thin skinned.

    How am I not relaxed? How can you determine this from your house?

    I think you could pair Damion up with either Kyrie Irving or John Wall and I would not hesitate to explore trades with either Mathews or\ and Batum.

    The Bulls have the #2 defense in the league, starting 32 year old Boozer, 33 year old Hinrich, and 34 year old Dunleavy.

    Hinrich used to be good, but PGs light him up regularly these days.

    Lillard will improve, but you also need a good scheme that works with shitty defenders.

    Not sold on Irving? I'm not sold on him playing with Dame but saying your not sold on him is a little weird. Even though he has been injured, he still is a franchise player.

    By the title you gave this thread you clearly understood your trade idea was going to spin up some people. Getting upset that people think this trade idea is far from credible, logical or even good seems a little odd to me.

    Anyone can see your post history. It's on your profile page.

    Your schedule isn't all you have that's loose.

    Signal to noise ratio. Too much noise? Up the signal. That means post more.
