see... this is an example of actually wishing death on a player.

I read the not taking young players or picks as not wanting to be Phoenix but Id rather take more stabs at ypung players than the vets we have signed. If you plan right you can have an outlook similar to Philadelphia
East #1 Draft Picks: Fultz, Banchero, Wiggins, Cuninigham
West #1 Draft Picks: Edwards, WIlliamson, Ayton, Towns

Key words If you plan right. We need to keep AG and Isaac but I'd be interested in getting some picks as well.

Is this what the kids are calling "micro aggressions"?

50% of your posts are extremely positive toward (usually) one player. Then the other 50% of your posts are extremely negative (and weirdly personal) toward that player's backup.

Typical lying liberal. I’ve never wished death on or called anyone a scum bag human. #Fakenews It’s not extremely personal to call a garbage basketball player... a garbage basketball player. Nor is it odd to speak positively about one of the best players on the team. What’s odd is continuing to pretend our back up Center is good.

Doesn’t matter if he’s good or not. You call him a piece of **** regularly. It’s just weird to me.

Far from a liberal lol get the **** out of here.

I’m pretty confident that Vuc will be moved eventually, but that untimely hand injury of his probably damaged his value in the short term a bit.

We're going to reset the rebuild... too bad the draft lottery odds change next season.

Quite literally the worst defense I’ve seen ever in professional basketball in the era, maybe except for philly a few years ago.

This is the part I just don't get. We drafted a number of supposedly defensive-focused athletic players in AG and Payton, signed defensive "studs" in Biyombo and Simmons, hired a defensive coach in Vogel...and our defense sucks, night in and night out. This team should at least have a chance to shut down other teams defensively in every game and we just don't.

On another episode of "Is this anything"....



So apparently Isaac invited all of his teammates to watch him preach and was really nervous about asking the guys and being accepted. Nobody came.

I'm not very religious at all, but that's kinda **** up and I really feel bad for him. Maybe it's tough to do on a Sunday morning but I don't know, I feel like small gestures like that are something you should do as a teammate if you're invited to somebody doing something for the first time. :dontknow:

I meant the Kings. Haha - we aren’t that much better.
