    And if you give them a taste of their own medicine and feed some anger back at them? You become a regular drama starter. Not those who constantly bitch. Only those who bitch about the constant bitching. Lol.
    Crazy ass backwards world we now live in.

    Here's the point I've come to:
    1. Yang was not in fact our first choice, Demin was. I would be a lot more uncomfortable with Demin at 11 (and no future first) than Yang at 16 (with future first).
    2. This was a wild upside swing. We're not taking a guy to be a useful rotation guy, we're taking a guy who will either be a star or out of the league after his rookie contract. The probability is more the latter, but that's okay for a #16 pick.
    3. He will not be playing big minutes this year (unless everything goes to shit. Again.)
    4. We will make at least one more trade and it will be with the idea of actually competing, so people will kind of forget about Yang (except for, you know, a billion plus Chinese people).

    If I'm wrong, the first sign will be that we don't keep Jrue.

    With its population of about 1.4 Billion people.

    That's 70 New York City (20 million) metro areas.

    Internet loves this guy. That part of his interview where he says that he likes to Sleep, Play PS5, and eat is being posted by a few NBA media outlets.
