If that happens the Fred hate here would reach astronomical levels. I don't think Duffman could keep up. :lol:

This is an exciting time. Masai finally gets to flex his strengths - trades and draft, and we don't have to worry about his weakness for a while (continuing the rich Raptors tradition of being unable to sign good north american free agents).

You wasn't happy with the Thad Young deal?

Some people attributed Precious’ late shooting hot streak and Scotties play to Thad’s mentorship last year.

The amount of reaching that goes on here. Geezus.

Must keep stacking up L's in January before the schedule eases up

The good thing is it is still a tough schedule until the deadline, so keep losing and it further increases the chances of blowing it up.

Tyrese is back in about 10 days. So they can start winning again hopefully.

Tyrese has been too busy crying on the internet duking it out with his baby moms.

Terrible situation.

Indy isn't the same with Hali out. Supposedly he may not return until beginning of Feb. Not sure what the Pacers will do.

As for the Raps, it really comes down to the FO. This team, despite the struggles this year, does have some good players. If the FO stands pat and let it ride, there is definitely a risk we rack up some wins and become a treadmill team.

Even if the FO largely stands pat we still got

If we only trade Fred, then Barnes will step up big time and we going to make play-in / playoffs. I'm sure of it.

PhilBlackson doesn't understand this

I'm not that confident based on what we did last deadline.

Trent will for sure be gone. I'd guess OG will be too if we get a monster package. Plus we were 30-23 at deadline last year.

If OG is traded, then we will free fall - no post Rudy Gay trade rally

Slow the game to a half-court, and that lineup doesn't score.

But it will be fun to watch them run and push the pace

Previous will definitely have his share of opportunities to initiate and run the break after ripping down a defensive board.

Slightly off topic, but is this like the first movie, where it's only worth watching in 3D, or would it be a decent download (by which off course I mean legal digital purchase)?

This is first and only movie for Warcraft. 3D sucks.

I just clipped a youtube clip of it.

Must watch if you ever played the game

I don't even think you guys realize that I don't like Fred and want him gone. It's like you don't read what I post :lol:

I just don't want Fred in every thread, all the time, to the point where it's all the forum is about. That was the point and has always been the point.

How should the team move forward this season?
