Yeah, we just dropped down to the 7th pick. If Sacramento loses their next game, we're tied for 8th.

We can open it back up in 2013 when we're ready to make our run for the 8th seed.

I can't believe this thread is lost, if so. I've inquired on the Bucks board.


How the hell do you still have mod powers?

Just remember, young grasshopper, as quickly as you were bestowed with your powers, they can just as easily be taken away. Your only means of redemption is to find the original Shrine or you'll suffer eternal RealGM damnation.

Hmmm....this is starting to get good
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

How come nobody is talking about bringing back Ruffin?

We no longer have the cap room to afford a max contract.

Ruffin would actually take room for two max contracts. That's why the Bulls and Nets dumped their players on us.

Seriously, as an end of bench flier we could worse.

Perhaps you all missed it, but Ruffin is back in the league - he inked a deal with the Denver Nuggets. Great move by them (and if all you think I'm kidding or this whole thread is a joke, think again).

The fact that Ruffin is a 9 year pro is absolutely astounding. If Blatche had even a fraction of Ruffin's work ethic and hustle, he'd be an All-Star.

I'm sure Scabs/Moto is tuned into 980 24 hours a day now that Laron is a Wiz/NBA correspondent. I heard him the other day - he's pretty good.

But if Blatche could sing like David Ruffin, he'd be like... a real good singer.
