    That is an example of Neil's ESP connection with his valet driver.

    The Norm/RoCo trade was the biggest virginal premature ejaculation in the history of NBA GMs.

    Stretching 5M is not the same as stretching 18M or whatever it was he had left.

    It did seem rushed for the lack of future picks/young talent they got out of that.

    Can you even imagine how hard it was for LAC to hold back the laughter when we agreed to the trade?

    He bailed on the Warriors for this situation. Not feeling too badly for him. And I know, Harden came after. But why he left GSW is a head scratcher.

    He ran from the grind. No sympathy for KD. Pretty funny how it has blown up in his face in Brooklyn.

    think he got tired of all the criticism he got for joining that superteam. And he was about a half inch away from getting to the finals essentially on his own last year in one of the most masterful playoff performances in NBA history.

    Also sidebar... you want some real pain? Our guy GO (currently an Asst coach at Ohio State) is doing ads for car dealerships now.

    Right. I think those guys could co-exist with Nurk, Both are PF/C's. Could vary their usage according to opponent and game situation.

    What is the significance of 2250? Is it cause he looked 50 when he was 22?

    Cause people criticized him that he rode the coattails of a team that already won championships. And we all know Durant’s mentally soft and can’t handle criticism about anything, by anyone, or he’ll want to fight you like giraffe.

    Yeah it was really bad. To not get any picks back? Good grief. Powell and Roco essentially for Keon Johnson lol
