Matt - I think thats the name - UCSB dude
somebody else I saw today - had like 6 team logos in their bio and one was the Bolts
not sure if missing anybody else
All Bolts fans. FYI - I am bullish on Harbaugh and Hortz - but not sure they make the playoffs this year. That doesn't mean I am down on them - just more they had such a bleep show to recover from - especially Hortiz.
Yes, it's SO nice to have Harbaugh. This guy is doing all the practice drills WITH the team. This guy immediately turns around teams that are not that good, and usually with less talent than we have. Like the 6 win Niners to 3 consecutive NFC Championship game appearances...one win and SB appearance (and the losses were very close..some may say unlucky). From 6-10 the year before he got there to 13-3, 11--4-1 and 12-4.
The team had totally tuned out Staley....and even spoke out loud bashing him in a non direct way...after winning the 10 games and blowing the Jax game.
I expect us to be very very competitive this year. I won't be surprised if the Chargers have 12 wins. I know tons of people wanted Nabors though I had a feeling we'd take Alt...I would have been happy with either. If we can finally control the line of scrimmage, Herbert can find receivers and we can actually run the ball, and sounds like the ex Ravens Smith/Dobbs will pound it. Ladd McConkey seems like he's going to be a receiver Herbert loves too. I just hope Quentin Johnson learns how to not drop the ball and they can get something out of him. Curious if Jerry Rice's kid will be good too. Then in the 7th he took a Michigan WR so he likely knows him well and figures he can contribute. Junior Colson, his other ex player, was a great pick...best LB in the draft. Also really stacked up on cornerbacks. Seems like the main weakness is WR, but that doesn't concern me a ton if Herbert has solid pass protection. Safety depth and interior defense could potentially be other weaknesses.
But yeah, us, matt131, Skybill I think has a Chargers one. It's too bad for Slim though, that Ishbia didn't somehow figure out a way to buy the Chiefs.
I loved Ekeler but the biggest thing I will miss about these Chargers is Keenan. Hope both those guys do well in their new situations. Keenan will certainly help make Caleb Williams transition easier.

I'm in on this one. Ruining the Broncos? PRICELESS.
Go chargers

At what cost? He's wildly overpaid at nearly 100m over 3 years. Wildly. Presti messed this up. Fairly easy to see IMO.
He's overpaid but maybe they don't sign him at all if they don't offer that much and don't have another avenue to use the money to get better. If it prevents them from doing something that would improve them more, than it's bad, but does it? I don't know. If it makes them better it doesn't matter really. It is a couple years. He was a difference maker in the playoffs. OKC took the Mavs to 7, and are super young and ahead of schedule.

Give me Theiss as the 3rd rotation PF. Play Ighodaro at the 3rd rotation 5.
Sign Bullock? 3rd string SG.
Beal /Booker / Covington / KD / Nurkic.
Lowry / Allen/ O'neale / Bol / Plumlee.
Gillespie / Bullock/ Dunn/ Theis/ Ighodaro.
Qwigglez wrote:Klay to the Mavs is solid IMO. Klay was the No 2 option with the Warriors, but he's at his best as the No 3 option. I think the Mavs got a serious upgrade in their offensive power when they desperately needed a third guy who can get buckets. Can they get back to the NBA Finals? Maybe. The West is still tough so it's hard to say and it depends on matchups but I think they improved their team. Klay is the guy that scored, what was it like 61 points when he dribbled the ball only a handful of times? He's now playing with two of the most ball-dominant players in the league.
Like the Suns, the Mavs contending is going to come down to health, but they got Luka in his prime and have surrounded him with players that fit their roster construction. Unlike the Suns, where we have a bunch of mismatched parts. Hopefully, the new coach can turn this team around.

that has to be some kind of record when that lux tax payment is going to hit
That's why their owner is selling his share. The Grysbouck (sp) are actually in the lower level of NBA owners money wise. Can't afford all that tax.
Kinda wish Ishbia had bought Boston instead of us lol

He won't need to dribble with Luka and Kyrie.
