    I was shocked to see Kupchak on that first list, then I scrolled down to the second list...

    What goes around comes around.

    By giving Timofey Mozgov and Luol Deng a combined $136 million in the summer of 2016. Kupchak went from being one of the most overpaid to one of the most overpaying.

    He was fired seven months later after 36 years with the Lakers.

    Jack Sickma?! Wow, didn't even realize he was still considered a star then. Thought he was more in the late seventies. Excuse me while I got get out my old Depeche Mode albums.

    (Yeah. I liked Depeche Mode back in the mid eighties.)

    If the Knicks hadn't stolen Marvin Webster from the Sonics, Sikma would have remained a PF for life, where he belonged. He could have been just a shooter like Aldridge, but was too tough for that.

    My new nickname for you is "Product Placement."

    I still like them. Violator is a great album. Not a bad track on it.

    I got into them when Strange Love come out. But they hadn't really hit America then. When they started wearing the dark leather and hanging out with supermodels it worked. That why Violator sold a jillion copies. Before that they were like a cross between Kraftwerk and Yazoo.

    I remember watching the videos for People are People and Never Let Me Down Again on VH1 back when videos were still considered cool. I think their popularity on MTV and VH1 helped fuel the demand for Violator when it came out.
