So the Wiz locker room may have drama and maybe they will trade someone. Cleveland fired the coach and maybe some players will go also. There is talk of Dallas getting rid of DSj if Doncic keeps killing it. Maybe the Clipps will deal Milos if SGA keeps playing well. We have to hope for opportunistic chances to improve the team and these are situations to watch maybe.

I miss liking my team. :(

100% message board-created. Dennis is looking much improved and we're not thinking about trading him. His name hasn't come up from any of the local beatwriters or national media reporters. Luka just has some brutal fans. Right now everybody is at fault and has to go according to those posters. DeAndre for stealing rebounds, Carlisle for his lineups, Barea for being ball-dominant, our wings for missing shots and screwing Luka out of assists, etc.

It's pretty disgusting & on par with the Lin-fans who often made his teams' message boards unreadable.

These are the reasons why Message Board Posters are personally biased and should stick to NBA2K when it comes to roster evaluations.

Ha, yeah that's where i am seeing it. Not really saying there is real smoke there but just looking for any sign of an opportunity for our team since our FO is twiddling their thumbs "evaluating". With our luck, even if DSJ did become available we would do nothing and still get quotes like this as to why DJ is that dude:
“He’s detailed, he work oriented, he’s team first,” said Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman when asked about the teams incumbent starter. “He’s the definition of a professional . . . Coaches trust him, staff trust him, and players trust him...

“I think D.J. had a season that kind of went under the radar last year,” said Weltman. “I believe he was in the 96th percentile in true shooting percentage. I know he was number two in the NBA in his pull-up three percentage, for those who attempted 100 or more, [and] that’s a very important statistic for a guard. Our defense was significantly better with him on the court, rather than off.”

Isn't this board called RealGM? I may have only joined 15 years ago but I seem to recall it's reason for being was for people to dive into the management side of sports. Hence things the the OG trade machine and the Trade Ideas Board. It is weird to me when people criticize people on this forum for acting like they are a GM or something. Just sayin', it's in the name. :cheesygrin:

True. I am still amazed sometimes where people don't think rationally when posting outrageous ideas which are personally biased even 15 years later for me too.

I just realized we joined 2 months apart from each other 15 years ago. Back then there were just as big arguments about whether TMac was accountable at all or not for our season collapse and people hated Juwan Howard like Soul hates Vuc :lol: And when they drafted Dwight over Okafor the board exploded

I admit to liking Okafor over Dwight at that time but was not flipping out over it. 8-)

Imagine, in 10 more years, we will have spent a quarter century on RealGM!

I was REALLY upset we took Dwight. That was real humble pie for me later - taught me a lot about thinking I know more than people who do this for a living.

I was upset too. I thought it was a major mistake, mainly because I desperately wanted to keep Tmac.

That’s right I forgot. Okafor seemed ready to contribute from Day 1 so I thought drafting him meant keeping TMac. Drafting Dwight basically guaranteed a TMac trade.
