Thad is still good. Forgot who else is on their team.

**** the Nets, though.


They tried to skirt the process the same way we did throughout the early 2000s. Now they're back at square 1 with no picks and a significant deadman contract on their books for years.

Can't even hate them anymore - until they do something LOL again.

Aqui.. I honestly think there are guys out there that Phil is looking at other than what's been reported.

Mills spoke confidently of specifically finding scoring with what we have left of salary.
Shved maybe?
Please no to Willie Green.

It's worse than breaking up with a girl over email. He needs to return his testicles to the manufacturer for a partial refund.

You're probably right - but I'm ready to do a Shved bet with Caron off the board. Month leave from the board? I leave if he doesn't sign. You if he signs.

Otherwise, a sig addition? I am fond of my current garb - avi/sig etc. but wouldn't mind taking a break from this madness :lol:

Unless we've got a trade in the works, we're going to end up with "Groundskeeper" Willie Green
WTF Post of 2017:

If Phil pulled that off, I would put a put a paper bag over my head, paste a picture of Jeannie on it, poke a hole through the mouth, and give Phil the best BJ he's ever had in his entire life.[/quote]

i'm sure pretty sure Phil is much smarter than signing an old vet guard that cant shoot,score,defend or does anything decent right now,when there is a much better guy available

No worry about Green at all

random facts about afflalo:

1) Raised in Compton and went to the same high school as Kendrick Lamar (& Dr. Dre)
2) Also, Kendrick made a song with a rap verse dedicated to him:

I don't know much about Williams' game but the other three guys are nasty, grind it out guys but they have skills unlike Amundson, Acy, etc. Those guys have all the values you want, high motor, hustle but are relatively low skilled to make any type of dynamic impact on the team. Lopez high motor, and provides weak side help, ability to make an open jump shot, and excellent dive player. O'Quinn has a nice mid range game, crashes the glass, and makes smart passes. Afflalo is a guy that you know can play 30-35 quality minutes if he's called upon to do it. Sounds like he understands his game and is a student of the game. Some positive leadership that we haven't had since Rasheed, Kurt, and JKidd were all here.

I really like what these guys had to say. Phil definitely brought in a new breed of team-first players here.
