Donovan Mitchell Discussion 4

[Jeff Van Gully]

People I've met from Utah are weird and I haven't liked them.

I had a particularly bad experience with one. Here's a true buzzardman story.

I was in basic training/infantry training back in the day, fresh out of HS and NYC.
In basic, like they do in gulags etc, they usually make a bigger, older guy, or squared away guy the platoon leader/squad leaders.
In those days, the platoon leader and squad leaders got their own room, everyone else in big old open bay 40 man room.
They just have some extra responsibility, etc - it's the drill sgts that make your life hell, get everyone in shape, all indoctrinated etc.

Anyway, this guy was like 24 years old, state wrestler, and just a total whitebread weird ass Utah guy.
He did not like NYC.
He did not like thebuzzardman being from NYC.
So this guy, who has like 50 lbs on my then skinny ass is starting to crack jokes at my expense - which is ok, for a day or two, but by day 7, he's really leaning into it and there's something not funny in it.
I realize he's going to give me a rep and it's going to stick.
There were all these white painted paving stones- the ones that used to be in the street way back when in Wingo's time, lining the paths.
Anyway, I got pissed enough that I went up to him and stated "Keep doing it. You can kick my ass, and do it now and make it count, because if you keep talking like that, one night, at random, I'm going to take one of those paving stones, go into your room while you are sleeping, and crush your f*cking skull in"
I was a little wound up then.
He was friendly after that.
Telling me his weird ass stories about the big White Castle festival they had, like I gave a f*ck.
He bitched about his knees and didn't go to the airborne unit we all to, the d*che.

They have to understand it can happen.

[Guano]

It's not even their shtty choice in snacks that's the problem they invited soaking and for that the will always deserve ridicule.

He's lucky to be alive!

I'm not even tough, in the scheme of things, he just pushed it too far. And basically anywhere in the city at that time, and yes, there were levels to this, but if you were male and normal, you were going to be put in situations where you had to stand up for yourself and not be a victim, so it was pretty ingrained/straightforward.
Sure, was I generally being friendly and using humor to diffuse stuff and make a lot of allies? Yup, but there was always those moments...

[K_ick_God]

Even if it doesn't happen Donovan wants in. Others will too. NY and MSG still matter. The Nets' dynasty didn't materialize. We back. Soon.

This actually makes sense why the deal hasn't been announced.... Spree2Houston may be onto something with the proposed trade involving LA

I can't believe we're still falling for this sh*t

Only 1 day with me that Utah guy would have known he would be eating his Rocky mountain oysters through a straw if wanted to mess with me.

I guess I won't know when I've gone too far with you until I wake up with a brick for breakfast

If there’s no deal announced by tuesday I am sure it is not happening

Woj and shams said weeks… so I’ll give it until close to training camp.. although I’m not sure why it would need to take that long

[Bob Ross]

That tweet is the sane **** from that jazz forum.

i feel like if they were to get a deal done it would be now. it doesnt make sense to wait till around training camp when its literally the knicks bidding against themselves. so imo it either happens now or it never does

Awfully picky when we're desperate for unsubstantiated rumor mongering.

he is saying the same thing that that utah fan said so maybe there's some legs to this

[8516knicks]

are you guys communicating on a higher plane of reality or something who the **** is elijah hughes and where are you talking to them?

I think he's a mormon prophet. I was assuming by communicating with him that sh*t would be blasting out of Angel Marconi's trumpet in Salt Lake City.

I might be wrong.

Don't believe him, evevale, that's just a typical thebuzzardman wind up/hoax. Elijah Hughes is actually the Jazz's second round draft pick -a PF- this year and the deal is being held up because Leon wants him included in the l to replace Obi.

Didn't their Patriarch Joseph Smith, who started Mormonism, start it in upstate New York? Be grateful they went west!

Agreed. Shams wrong about it dragging on I think.

Yeah he claims he saw Jesus around the Binghamton area.
