    Nothing will change until we get new ownership. Period.

    that would be the easiest way for Cronin to not get this job. If he wants a shot at losing his "interim" tag, i think he needs to be aggressive.

    Because ownership has been so aggressive?

    They’ll get under the tax and call it good

    no, because Cronin promised it. And all this messaging about business side being more aligned with basketball side, with the lack of ticket sales/sellouts, i'm figuring it will be different this year (or at least.... I'm hoping).

    If all they do is duck the tax, I'm gonna be sorely disappointed.

    I’m 100% convinced Morey would trade Simmons to any team except Portland purely out of spite. Wonder how long before he “relieves” Dames trainer.

    Just watched a college video of Zion Williamson and thought "is he enough of a bust to be traded for CJ McCollum and Norman Powell?"

    And the answer of course is "No one is enough of a bust to be traded for CJ and Powell"

    Hope for the best, expect the worst. Always my trade deadline motto.

    Morey seems like a dipshit. Does he not realize that Embiid is due for an injury any game now.

    CJ and Powell are both about minus 15 points. Without CJ we would have beaten the Heat by 5, with both him and Powell we would have lost by 30

    And they're getting 30 and 15 milion respectively. I'm sorry but we're talking buy-out, not trade

    I am sorry but ZCE -- please just go away

    Your posts specially one a few posts up should get your account suspended or banned but that is just my opinion and NOT trying to do a mods job again just my 2 cents.

    He is the 1st person on this board i have ever put on ignore cause I do enjoy bantering and even a good back and forth even a little heated but he is a something else.
