Had wings to cook for Super Bowl but guess we starting early!

I love it too. My favorite one is when Idris Elba asks the producer if he can fight those wings straight take years off of those actors' lives. Gordon Ramey and Keke Palmer are also good ones.

freaking gold! Ramsey had me rolling!

Watch on YouTube

Dude rubbed a lime on his ass :lol:

A little disappointed we didn't ship out a veteran wing for another pick...

I literally said several times since last night. This is similar to Utah. Not OKC.

We’re going to finish the season like the Post-Melo Nuggets did. They were 4th before dealing Melo to the Knicks and ended up 2nd against the Warriors in the first round.

This team is filled with high level defenders, shooters and tall playmakers with Spencer, Ben, Sumner. We are going for the postseason.

Doesn't make sense right now.

I don't think the backup 5 is a priority anymore, makes more sense for us to let Sharpe get his consistent minutes and see what we have there. If he continues sucking, at least we get a better draft pick.

I'd just want Seth gone for some assets by the deadline since we're not going to re-sign him, then shut Ben down and roll with the kids the rest of the way.

Sharpe is a G league level talent. Zero touch around the rim and horrific on defense. Not an NBA player and there's other players worth developing over him.

He is and we all know it. However winning is no longer a priority for this team. Otherwise why else would you trade Kevin Durant.

This is now a tanking season since we still have our pick

Then from next season onward the goal is to win enough games to not gift the Rockets a top 5 pick in order to save face.

Can we at least beat the Knicks with this squad next game ?

Roster is now a solid group of good role players

Dinwiddie/Sumner
Thomas/O'Neale
Bridges/Johnson
DFS/Yuta
Claxton/Simmons

Harris, Curry, Sharpe, Mills

It's going to be interesting to see how rotations shape up

If we only get Atkinson back to sort this thing out I be way more positive , getting tired of Vaughn playing Sharpe

The big news is that Tsai, Marks & KD had an agreement that if it didn't work out this year, they would get him where he wanted to be. They didn't negotiate with any other teams (Pels, Grizzlies, Celtics, etc.). They did KD a solid on the way out. I wouldn't expect him to go scorched earth like Kyrie did.

i don't think Sharpe is a G leaguer, i think he can become a rotational player at some point. He's a very good rebounder already and his passing acumen is very high for a center. Hasn't shown much defensively for sure but now he's on a team where can possibly get some consistent playing time (at least this season).

He's an elite offensive rebounder. So that's one skill he can definitely build on, the rest of his game we will need to wait and see.

Looks to me like the game hasn't slowed down for him yet since he's not a reliable catcher and finisher inside at all. Some guys will work it out with time some guys won't.

Honestly its fine if we don't trade Curry or O'Neale. Maybe nobody was offering us a good deal. And we didn't want to take on more money.

I'm still perplexed on why we didn't acquire a backup center if several were traded for just a 2nd round pick.

We should have had a backup Center this whole time.

Cam/Claxton/Bridges can all be stars in my view best case scenario.

Maybe we can add a high level star through trade or free agency eventually.

I'm so ready for an organic team built around drafted stars.

When have we ever had that?

Not that I can remember. Even Kidd was traded here first.
