Man I must occupy some prime real estate in your head LOL. Tag me next time love

You’ve mentioned me twice now despite me not even talking about Edey at all. Notice how I don’t talk about him because I don’t care?

The guy could average 50-20 for the rest of the season and I wouldn’t care. I’m so happy for you that he had 3 double doubles in a row :lol:

I have a 10:1 and a 12:1 on Edey for ROY so if he plays well I will win a bunch of money. Doesn’t change the fact that everything I said about him has been right

Claiming you don’t talk or care about Edey after you spent most of the thread shrieking at people for saying he was anything other than terrible is certainly a choice.


Go count how many times I posted about Edey. You just remember it because I occupy space in your head. :lol:

I did it for you, I posted 4 times in this thread about Edey, you posted twice about me. What does that tell you?

Spurs trading for Fox may have been the nail in the coffin for Castle's ROY chances since he has now gone to the bench even though it's CP3 who should be running the 2nd unit

Just because I'm really bored at work.

jasonxxx102 has posted about Edey 48 times since the start of the season. That works out to around 3 posts per week.

Yep, you definitely "don't talk about him". Way to show you don't care lol.

48 times in 8 months since the draft, most of which were in the beginning of the season. Amazing work detective :lol:

The amount of real estate that I occupy around the Edey discourse is amazing. Of course in 2 years when he's bench riding or in the playoffs when he's an after thought nobody will be @ me. The Edey fan boys will be hanging out with Frodo wherever he disappeared to.

but please, every time this dude has a double double against a bottom dweller, tag me so I can laugh :roll:

Castle should be starting, I don't see why you'd start CP3 over him, live and die with the future of your team.

100%. It's purely political. Spurs promised CP3 a starting role if he signed with us in Free Agency. Problem is having him in the starting lineup is redundant now that he have Fox. Moving Castle to the bench because you don't want to hurt CP3's feelings is ridiculous (obviously), especially when Castle's been playing his best ball of the season the past 12 games or so. Hoping the Spurs do the right thing and force CP3 to the bench but I doubt it.

Mitch isn’t the guy for that. Curious to see who takes over after Pop because we may need to get that plan in action sooner than later.

As for Castle, it’s incredible how many points he can get without having a jumper

Is Post the biggest steal in the draft? He's looking good and was drafted in Bronnie James territory.

Probably not. He's only played 14 games this year and hes a month away from being 25. He's doing well but there's little room for improvement.


We don't know who the steal is yet but early canddiates for me are Ware, McCain and Wells. Collier is interesting, too.

Castle is improving quickly. Already an elite defender. Just turned 20 last month. Kid is going to be a two-way monster in this league by year 3 at this rate.

That's why I never thought the Spurs would put him in the Fox trade.

The Hawks have been limiting his minutes to around 24 mpg since he returned from injury. I hope that changes after the Allstar break.
