    “Look, Brooke, we offered Meyers AND Al Farouq for a Otto Porter but as you know it takes two and the phones got pretty quiet here today.” *olshey laugh*

    If this looks familiar, good. You get it.

    If I remember correctly we were right on the tax line, maybe even a few thousand over it, and the Plumlee-Nurkic trade got us slightly under it. I think it had something to do with the 3pt% bonus for Harkless going from unlikely to likely which would have put us over the tax line and the trade got us out of that predicament.

    Keep posting stuff @yuyuza1. I'm a cynic too but you shouldn't take it personally, it has nothing to do with you. What I'm tired of is being disappointed, like with the big trade exception that wasn't a rumor as Olshey said several times what an asset it was and then never used it. Or how about paying the Bulls to take Vonleh away last year when it was also said we were going to be aggressive.

    Don't feel like it is a personal attack. Most of us are smart enough to not blame the messenger. :cheers:

    Stop trying to add George Hill to my favorite basketball team.

    He's garbage.

    I absolutely understand what you are saying. For me, the cynical gallows humor is the last line of defense.

    Roasting Olshey is much easier than drowning in the reality that we’re not winning a championship anytime soon. Let us have that.

    I'm just scared that since Paul Allen isn't around to value draft picks that he'll go crazy trading them away in marginal trades.

    not a chance....a late 1st round draft pick is Olshey's best opportunity to add another 6'2 SG

    That's not the point of that at all. Literally an expiring contract to match salary that helps us get a cheap CJ replacement who's probably better in Brogdon.

    Smh.

    Why are you shaking your head? I'm just giving you shit about something I've given you shit about before. I thought you'd remember.

    Heres a question that may get louder with time; How much is Layman going to get paid?

    Same reason I don't want Kevin Love on this team.

    STUPID contract, injury PRONE.
